..old woes, such a high valued asset on the battlefield will get you all kinds of unwanted attention. I didn't realize we had lost so many M1's to the insurgents.

Crazy isn't it? Some tanks burned because off all the junk hanging on the stowage racks, most were blasted with huge IEDs. Some were hit with Iranian/Russian anti-tank rounds.

I posted a comment there.


"@ Camp Taqqadum - I think "graveyard" wrongly implies that whats seen here are abandon utter wrecks, which is not the case. Battle-damaged, haul them back to base, repair what you can - whatever is left goes to the parts pile (like you see in the video) - easier to fix multiple damaged vehicles using one non-repairable parts/donor vehicle, than wait for spares to be shipped over."

i dont see any comments posted for that video...

I did a little searching and I was surprised by the results, I think some of these were destroyed in Desert Storm:

Type destroyed abrams in the search.

I haven't dug before now but I had the impression that none were lost to combat. Some look to have taken some kind of projectile hit on the side.

You're right, he (video poster) has comments on approve before showing, so he cant be proven wrong etc.

Many Abrams have been lost, stacked AT mines, IEDs, road transport fires - you name it, its taken out an Abrams.
