Why did you think it wouldn't happen? The Americans have lost tanks that way.

Iran is to blame, and they will get theirs sooner or later.

Which causes many people to mutate into zombie slaves of the sharks with lasers.

An M1A2 was beat up pretty badly too. Apparently the IED was essentially 3 M109 shells detonating at once; thats a bit stronger than one tank shell.

I heard that the IED bomb was a diversion so a nub could try and sneak behind the tank to C4 it, but the nub got shock paddled before he could detonate.

A tank's weakest point is always its underside. Which, conicidentally, is where roadside bombs blow up. Not that hard to imagine.

The best way to disable a tank is to knock a tread off, then pick off those who come to save it. Ask any infantry commander.

Iran is to blame? eh - no tank is invincible, as you can see. Shit happens when you're at war.

As long as the Insurgents don't get ahold of modern ATGM's - there shouldn't be much of a problem. This must've been some powerful EFP though...

If it can punch through a tank, it can punch through anything....

IED's are not as high tech as one might think. and nothing is IED proof.

It's war, shit happens.

Driving over unexploded artillery shells can do that to a piece of metal.
