You’re welcome. In a partial defense of Leopard IIs being destroyed by landmines, a big enough land mine will destroy any tank. My cousin’s husband was fortunate enough to survive when his Sheridan light tank detonated a NVA landmine that was made from a previously dud U.S. 500 pound bomb in 1970 during the Cambodian incursion.

And to my fellow tankers, yes I know that the M-551 Sheridan was officially an “Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle.”
