I have a hard time understanding how guys are getting killed in M1A2 tanks by IEDs. The only way it seems that this is possible is they were either sitting outside the armor or the fuel tank was hit and fire spread through the tank. The first seems more plausible. Just confuses me...

QUOTE (CANNONBALL @ Jul 5 2006, 10:40 AM) got word that a triple stacked 155mm IED hit a tank killing several crewman. many others are killed by a single 155mm ripping the treads off, then the crew 'unbottons' to fight back and get hit with snipers. QUOTE (wikipedia) On November 27, 2004 an Abrams tank was badly damaged and its driver killed from shrapnel wounds when an extremely powerful improvised explosive device (IED) consisting of three M109A6 155 mm shells with a total explosive weight of 34.5 kg detonated next to the tank. The other three crew members were able to escape, a testament to the armor of the M1A2. seems only 1 reported death? --------------------  A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have. |
