we can see that the gun barrel and front hull are completely charred... but the turret has managed to turn afterwards at least.

With the size of that explosion shouldn't almost the whole side, including turret have been at least scorched? Is the paint on an Abrams special anti-burn?KoTeMoRe wrote:sheytanelkebir wrote:and here's that famous SVBIED ramming into an abrams...

Are we 100% sure about the same Abrams?, Normally the gun should be in a far worse condition. All the rest is OK, it's a external explosion with no penetrating power hitting the tank at its best bit.

its simply that the quality of the explosive is very low.. makes a huge quick fireball but not much power in it. also seems to have exploded half a meter before reaching the tank.
the BMP on the other hand was completely destroyed by the other SVBIED.
anyway nowadays daesh hardly get in 4-5% of the SVBIEDs they send... the vast majority being successfully intercepted. Inside the city however we can see how dangerous they can be, charging in from blind bends without warning... a failure by iraqi forces to have sufficient UAVs to observe ahead and have the feed sent to all frontline vehicles.
