Did you read my posts?
How did you determine that Leopard 2A6 is better than both? It is generally assumed German steel is better than Anglo steel. Abrams switched from British made gun to German made gun. Challenger is doing the same. A squad of Ukrainian marines (blue band) got spotted by DJI Mavic 3 hobby drone...

Leopard 2A6 is not survivable on the level of M1 Abrams.

Russians and Iranians helped Assad regime defeat Syrian rebels while US-led forces defeated ISIS.
Assad regime has nothing to show on the level of Ukraine in warfighting capacity on its own.
I really admire your persistence to try to talk sense into these yahoo, when they know a giant sum of zero about how Tank works, I once have a dude come up to me and say all armour vehicle (that's Tanks, IFV, APC, CFV and LAV) need to be able to survive tanks and AT hits.......
Anyway, if we talks about tanks, the dead spot is not the back, nor the top, the dead spot for tank is the underbelly, you can't put armour in transmission system, which mean if you hit anything below the sprocket, it is 100% guarantee going thru, so for a tank, there are 2 different types of protection
1.) Pre-Contact Protection
2.) Post-Contact Protection
Pre-Contact protection is the protection your tank offered BEFORE the round hit your tanks, armour works in different way, you have reactive armour on the side and sloped armour on the front, reactive armour detonate the round before it make contact the hull, while slope armour would strengthen the hull armour and also deflect incoming round. Most people don't know this (You probably need to be a tanker to know) but most high velocity round deflect away from your sloped armour without detonation. Because of the angle of the armour and the fuze of the round.
Post Contact protection is what protect against the crew and more importantly the magazine holder of your tank, crew compartment are lined with kelvar and steel, which protect against blast damage, but the thing that hurt the most is the sonic boom on contact, tanks are pretty much a steel cage, so everytime a round penetrated into the hull you will have an echo chamber effect on the sonic boom generated by the high velocity round. On the other hand, an explosion to an unprotectted magazine compartment would cook the round and that inturn detonate inside said echo chamber, hot gas cannot escape the tank, and it will result in the kettle effect when you literally blow the lid off the tank, this is where and why when a Russian tank blow, the gun and the turret would simply blown up sky high, and that detonation is not survivable.
For a tanker, you want to protect the ammo compartment and have channel top vent the gas out when there is a hit, which is why an Abrams comes with titanium steel magazine compartment and positive pressure chamber, what it basically do is to negate both effect I mentioned above (the hot gas and the ammo cook off) which mean any hit is survivable compare to other contemporary tanks
