Military experts simulated a showdown between the Russian T-90 tank and the German Leopard 2A6 to verify the claims by some Russian generals that the Russian hardware was inferior to its NATO analogues.
Using mathematical models to simulate a battle between the Russian and the German tank, experts concluded that in a real battle the Leopard would not stand a chance of coming within a shooting distance of T-90.
The T-90 uses a 125 mm smoothbore tank gun while the German Leopard 2A6 Rheinmetall uses the 120 mm L55 smoothbore gun. Many military experts believe that the Leopard tank is superior to the Abrams M1A2.
Rightardia would point out that mathematical models can be fudged.
The Rusisans have a point when they can make four of their tanks for the price of one Leopard.
It was the simpler but effective Russian T-54 tank that defeated the German Tigers and Panzers in World War 2.
