Frankly, in modern combat, only current-generation tanks are worth anything. Conflicts in the 1990s and 2000s showed that prior-generation tanks were essentially worthless when fighting current-generation tanks or other equivalent forces. That is, when counting effective tanks, only those using designs from the 1980s and later should be counted (i.e what are referred to as 3rd-generation Main Battle Tanks).

Here's the world's current inventory of modern tanks, excluding countries with less than 300:

1. United States: 2000 M1A2 and 4400 M1A1, plus 2400 M1 in storage
2. People's Republic of China: 200 Type 99 and 2500 Type 96
3. Russia: 700 T-90 and 3500 T-80 models (over half in storage)
4. South Korea: 1500 K1-series
5. India: 800 T-90 and 250 Arjun
6. Egypt: 1000 M1A1
7. Pakistan: 600 Al-Kahlid and 300 T-80
8. Germany: 2300 Leopard 2-series (75% in storage)
9. Israel: 700 Merkeva (all models)
10. France: 400 AMX-56 Leclerc
11. United Kingdom: 400 Challenger 2
12. United Arab Emirates: 380 AMX-56 Leclerc
13. Saudi Arabia: 370 M1A2
14. Turkey: 330+ Leopard 2

All numbers are in active deployment, excluding those noted to be in storage.

Answer 2

The United States has the world's largest -and most powerful - tank fleet. With some 6,400+ M1A2 and M1 Abrams tanks, the turbine-powered, 120mm main gun, and composite armor makes it superior to any Russian / Chinese tank. FYI, Armored fighting vehicles are not tanks.
