These pictures were taken by an anonymous soldier stationed in an undisclosed country, presumably
Iraq, whose platoon of M1 Abrams tanks (exact versions unknown) was reportely hit by seven shaped charge warheads of
unknown type. According to that soldier: "They hit three tanks and all three tanks are still being used. Plus no one was hurt in any of the attacks. The M1 series tank is the toughest land vehicle the US has. It is the only thing that can take these efps [Explosively Forged Projectiles] and still roll. The pics you are about to see are from a efp that hit my platoon sargeant tank. It was seven efps in a 2 ft pvc pipe buried 2 ft in the ground. You can see the copper all over the tank." | |
