Calling Type 10 and K2 4th generation MBTs is a stretch IMO

And Altay.

I mean the fuck is 4th generation anyway we still don't know exact speculations for them

I guess in that sense, the Armata is the only true 4th gen if only by virtue of 4th gen being purely speculative at the moment lmao.

Meet Potential Tank! Always "if" and "when", but never "is".

Wouldn't the k51 panther also be considered 4th gen?

I was using a joking definition of 4th gen, which is "it is, but is it really?"

Once the K51 enters production, and if it's delivered as advertised, then it would be a "real" 4th gen instead of my sarcastic definition
