* Advantages:
* Better protection: The Challenger 2 has a more advanced armor package than the Abrams M1A2, which provides better protection against kinetic energy and shaped charge warheads.
* More accurate gun: The Challenger 2's L30A1 120mm rifled gun is more accurate than the Abrams M1A2's M256 120mm smoothbore gun.
* Better optics: The Challenger 2 has a thermal imaging system that is superior to the Abrams M1A2's thermal imaging system.
* Lower fuel consumption: The Challenger 2 is more fuel-efficient than the Abrams M1A2.
* Disadvantages:
* Slower: The Challenger 2 is slower than the Abrams M1A2.
* Heavier: The Challenger 2 is heavier than the Abrams M1A2.
* More expensive: The Challenger 2 is more expensive than the Abrams M1A2.
Abrams M1A2
* Advantages:
