At least the infantry uses MILES so most likely the tanks have the same.

Here you can see the system working in the HQ.

How many of those top ten tanks have been in combat?

Another interesting statistic would be how many have been lost in combat.....but that may need a pro rata response because the Abrams has possibly seen the most combat.

Indeed, these are war machines and to defined a top ten they must have been in combat, unless this is a top ten good looking tank.

I don't agree with that.
That would mean, that all testing and all exercises are useless, which I doubt.
Tanks are tested for survivability under live fire (AFAIK) and their ability to engage targets and their reliability are tested throughout exercises against top notch tanks.
I don't think that any tank engagement in Iraq gave you different results from exercise engagements against other Nato tanks (except for that the other Nato tanks did surely pose more of a (simulated) threat than the outdated T 55s and T72s of Iraq).
