With this kind of exchange ratio, even discounting the enemy KIAs by some realistic factor, they must have been using some serious force multipliers. I'm thinking AC-130s and/or cluster munitions.
Or maybe they finally got a good supply of the new AP "Cannister" round for the Abrams main gun.

Everything old is new again. A modern day version of old artillery cannister or grape shot, only with the whomph that comes from a 120mm cannon on an Abrahams Tank. Brilliant!!

Some reports were that we were droping 500 pounders on them, well one of those will make the rest of your day not too good.
As in vaporized if you are within 15 feet.
