New KF51 Panther Tank vs. Abrams X Tanks

At the Eurosatory 2022 event held on 13 June in Paris, Rheinmetall presented a main battle tank that is destined to be a game changer for battlefields in the future: the KF51 Panther. On the other hand, taking place on 10-12 October 2022 during the AUSA exhibition in Washington D.C., General Dynamics Land Systems or GLDS also revealed its new generation of main battle tank with greater firepower, protection, and mobility to confront all new threats in the modern combat zone: the AbramsX. Both MBTs are the latest members in their own tracked vehicle family. And in this video, will discuss the comparison between KF51 Panther and AbramsX.

The Panther is such a stunning looking piece of machinery.

You forgot to mention that the abrams x isnt a actual mbt concept but rather a tech demonstrator meanwhile thew kf51 is an actual mbt prototype

Saying this in spite of myself... the Abrams X is extremely impressive! But this Panther looks like the new king of the MBTs. Comparing it to other 4th gen tanks (Armata) or even those still in development (Challenger 3) this Panther seems to outclass them all. Truly impressive!

The Panther can be eqipped with an unmanned 5.56mm Machine Gun Turret " Natter" which can be used to shoot down Drohnes or to defend against infantry . The Panther will be equipped with reconnisance Drohnes which enables the Tank to detect/shoot at Targets out of direct sight . I am sure that the 4 th Seat will become usefull in Future, may it be for an Drohne operator or for an Platoon Commander .

"How expensive do you want this to be?"
"Yes."

It doesn't really matter which of these two is better. If anything, they will fight side by side, not against each other.

[dangilbert]

Rheinmetall and GDLS should collaborate on the next generation NATO Tank. The Panther and AbramsX are both beasts but a hybrid of the two would be better than the sum of its parts. Not to mention the overall price would probably be drastically lower if all the major NATO powers were producing the same Tank.

German and American engineering never ceases to amaze

[arturasstatkus]

Thank You, I trust in German enginering♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️

The KF51 will likly also come with something like a trophy system (module to be added) which can protect the system from incoming ATGM (top and side attack).

Pather is ahead of everyone in my opinion, especially design just wooow

[NotThatBob]

Both tanks are amazing. Usually winning boils down to training. Better training and support = 1st shot, 1st kill.

[tonikvesic]

The German tank KF51 Panther is definitely better, i.e. the better attacking version, so just talking about the 130mm gun that will dominate other tanks, and other things that will be added on the day we're talking about.

[gustavmeyrink_.]

The KF51 Panther is prepared to be fully remote-controllable ie the crew does not actually have to be in the tank.

[Sinn]

Can I just say...that I love them both?! Man it's freaking awesome that we're allies in this because I would hate to watch these two beautiful machines hammer each other into oblivion.

Addendum- While I am an American and have to go for my Abrams X, I have nothing but respect for the KF51 Panther. I haven't watched the video yet but even if the Panther wins I'm okay with that. I can't wait to see the many revisions these two mean machines go through.

[HrMattila]

They are both great MBT's but it all comes down to the crew, the ammo, the use of the tank and training, training and training of the tank crew.

[dublindutch]

Both amazing pieces of tech. I like the Pather's styling, so sleek. Happy to see that the Abrams X still very much looks like an Abrams. I grew up with Abrams and Leo 2's in Germany 😊. Now all we need is 80's camo, both these tanks have fugly paintjobs.

With the upgrades in drone tech. I expect to start seeing carrier vehicles with 10s to 100s of drones. I mean even if it’s just for recon, that would be crazy. Imagine having one vehicle stop in a safe location and launch a large amount of drones to provide attacking support or highly valuable reconnaissance info.

[johannesdolch]

Except the KF51 isn't actually the designated successor to the Leopard 2. There is a separate development program called the Main Ground Combat System that several nations participate in (or are observer to).

Slick designs on both the Panther and the AX
