I like the KF51 more, i mean, german tanks and stuff were always the pinnacle of technology. They have the edge over almost anything and the 4th crewmember and offboards sensors and drones here really seem like a big advantage

When you look at the Ukraine war, having a drone to spot for you and a seat for a drone operator in the tank is crucial - the KF51 seems to be far superior when a drone operator is onboard. A drone operator could see the enemy over the hill, driving full speed, and launch one of the hero drones at it without them ever knowing the KF51 was there.

The 130mm on the panther is a *_BEAST!?!_* those shells 2x the size of a 120. The panther beats the T-14 in every aspect and they can actually build them too! The T-14 has the T-90m gun because they get the 2 designed for it to work.

when i saw the title i immediately thought the panther because it (likely) actually works

[rawdog]

The T-14 Armata is a badass tank but the KF-51 Panther is more badass. that 130 mm gun is CRAZY!!!

These tank comparing makes actually less sense as every MBT is designed for their individual situations and threads. Climate, topography, terain, logistics, enemy types, systems of the enemy. So there is no perfect tank out there. Only tanky who can fit perfectly to your demands.

"Made in Germany" vs. "Made in Russia".

Mercedes vs. Volga.

again, so sweet voice! regard from croatia, middle europe

[rszanger]

Many of weapons from Russia and China are over exaggerated so i dont believe T-14 armata is better than KF-51 Panther.

[klausberfelde-jeye]

Time 6:19 you have forgotten to mention the Leclerc that still has an autoloader! KF-51 is in Production and the second in this class.
At a T-14 test all active protection systems failed and isn't proven till now. The Engine concept was copied from a German WW2 tank and still not properly working.
So if everything on the T-14 Armata is fine it could be a great tank like the upcoming Abrams X.

Compare this KF51 Panther against the Korean K2 Black Panther

[drakZes]

I am so glad that they made the KF51 look so badass. like they could have made it just look like a normal tank like the T-14, but they were like nope, it has to look badass as well.

[richardjosephus]

No Comparision, Russia can't build many T-14's After what 3 years they have 14?

[marvinthemartian]

One tank is real and one is fake. I'd say the panther is better because it can actually do what they say unlike the T-14 Potemkin village.

[jeremycox]

until each tank fights each other you cant say which tank is better

[K.U.K]

Deutsche Panzer, wie immer. Gruss aus Kroatien. 🙋🏼‍♂️

[Gilder-von-Schattenkreuz]

The Honest Answer is. Neither is Better. Because neither really Exists.
Both are as of yet just Prototype Stage.

If we go by Supposed Capabilities. The KF51 is Clearly Superior on almost all Areas.
And also has some Extra Utility to Boot.

As for which one will actually be Better assuming both Tanks ever actually go into Serial Production and become available in Notable Numbers remains to be Seen.

[liestricks]

The best tank at the moment is the K2, its the only 4th gen being produced in real numbers.

[johnparker]

T14 has better looking armor in front than kf51 but I wondering if kf51 could also have better armor front driver to protect against anti armor shell

[btall]

Which is better? Whichever one I'm in. that good. I'm a game changer.
