I was just sitting around watching some Abrams on the news and a question popped in my head. Has there ever been one taken out of battle by ENEMY fire? I don’t ever recall seeing or hearing about one that had. I know some were hit by friendly fire though. Just one those things to find an answer about.
Unfortunately we lost a couple in Iraq, I believe. Not sure of the details.
theres hasnt been any taken out by Enemy fire, they have just been lost to bad accidents or Freindly fire(after breakdowns)
I believe one was taken out by enemy fire during a sandstorm from the rear. This from an after action report rec’d during Op. Iraqi Freedom. The crew was unharmed, which is the most important fact.

It seems that it has a pretty good thing going then even though there don’t seem like there is really another tank that would put up a decent fight with one. Thanks for the answers.
