The German 'Leopard 2' (shown) and Russian T-90 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) are examples, as are light-class systems like Thailand's 'Stingray' Light Tank. Products that are currently under development or on order for the following year are not considered.
The information on this list is valid until 2022. When official data is unavailable, estimates are made.
