  • @Fetcha200 lol

  • war going on and indiana jones here is exploring old tanks

  • @tehBLAX  Yeah, I've done 2 combat tours in Iraq, one of which was during the 2003 invasion. 1st Marine Division, recipient of Presidential Unit Citation and the Combat Action Ribbon, to name a few. You are obviously an expert on the war. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    I apologize if investigating apparent armored vehicles in the desert offends you, or deviates from the mission you are such an authority on.

  • Hey guys, relax. These tanks were taken out in Desert Storm by air power, not tank DU rounds. NBC personnel inspected the area.

  • This tank was not destroyed by DU rounds.

  • Apart from all the "experts" that abound on YouTube.... A Hellfire is a shaped charge weapon and will leave a "scorch" mark. APFSDS as fired from a main battle tank main gun would leave a penetration which leaves a raised rim where it entered, kinetically.

    But hey, I've only grown up around multiple Army Firepower demos and read the odd "restricted" publication. What would I know?!

  • Good

  • someone stole the motor :(

  • That got a kicking!

  • Yeah it looks like this one was taken out by another enemy tank fireing bands of looters...

  • No dead Body's in there?

  • i wana scrap the bitch n make me a fortune!

  • judging by the massive hole in the turret @ 0:30 this tank was hit by a hellfire missile or some other anti-tank missile

  • @taurospeed I'm going to guess that shipping that to the nearest recycling facility would incur expenses outweighing the going price for plate steel in the middle of the desert.

  • I'm confused. I know I'm not any sort of an expert, but since there is one hole (from what I can see) in the turret and it appears to be from a latteral trajectory (from what I can see), than how did the USAAF take out that tank? This isn't meant to be offensive, I'm just curious.
