Its widely accepted that the Challenger 2 is the best MBT in the world (at the moment).. And, we have produced the best MBT's since the end of the war (WW2).. That said, this is the UK, and we cannot afford 2,000 MBT's to send to Iraq, so their 'kill' rate is obviously going to be far higher.. And also, there lose rate also, lower..
The armour on this tank is used on most Allied MBT's.. The engine, Rolls Royce, and the list goes on..
I cannot feel that quite obviously Delta 7Xx will support their own tanks and equipment.. That goes without saying..
Let it be so.. But this is (so far) the best of the best...

i always did wonder which would come out on top... a challenger 2 or an abrams A2?

I'm too much of a fan of the Challenger 2 to say otherwise...

hmm... its a possibility, but... maybe its because im an american, but i just love the abrams too much to admit defeat without any solid proof XD
i mean, no way in hell it's as logistically sound as the challenger, but not many other 70 ton vehicles are capable of 60 mp/h (100 kp/h) over smooth terrain (with a little tweaking to the speed limiter of course.) and if the 120mm gun doesnt get the job done, there's always the new A3 variant equipped with a monstrous 140mm main gun. that and it's armor is actually... pretty similar to the challanger's, but a bit better angled from the front of the hull. the challanger has seen a decent amount of combat considering how few of them have been built, but... in operation desert shield, the abrams managed to knock out an estimated over 2000 tanks while emerging practically unscathed, only 4 abrams being damaged or destroyed in return. any tank that can claim a 500 to 1 kill to loss ratio is a powerful force on the battlefield, and while technology marches on, the abrams is being constantly upgraded to match.

the newest version of the CR 2 looks very safe with the ERA

Anyone remember the modified M1A1 Abrams that Brawl transformed into in the live-action movies?

That was actually an M1A2, upgraded with the TUSK package.

Well, one of them looks like a birdcage... No idea! Maybe measuring wind? Additional antenna?

I think its counter IED tech. Provides a bubble of protection that think jams the signal. Hope that helps and isn't too late!

Looks like there are two Decpiticon insignias on either side of the hull
