I think that should serve as basic info, but theres is alot more to each one of them, but that will take too much space. Hope this explains a bit. Comments would be appreciated.

Scenario:

There is another thing and that is that M1A2 work in a whole group ie, with Gunships, bradleys and foot soldiers. But lets say each of them have to work alone, no help from out side. Which one of them would survive the combat.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but these kinds of exercises are just pointless.

warfighting is not about toys - its about systems and logistics.

If u want a Comment,M1A2 is the best performed tank in the world.
The Al-Khalid Performance more depends on what kind of situation it is fighting with its enemy(India),it will have a tough time fighting with India becoz of Large Airpower India has.

However Technically the Best Tank in the world is German Leopard 2A5,many people accept that fact.
