Has a suicide bomber ever stopped a tank?Dunno but there's a picture floating around of where a suicide bomber tried to take out a Bradley and left a stain on the Bradley

On top of which, the largest load a man could carry and still run at a tank, unless formed into a shaped charge and aimed accurately, won't do much of anything.
The car bombs with which the terrorists are targeting our forces in Iraq are of the 100kg-plus class. That's over 220lbs, more than your average human is going to be able to carry for any distance, let alone run.

Also early Friday, IDF troops in southern Gaza noticed several Palestinians approaching an IDF position with an anti-tank rocket launcher. Troops fired at the cell, causing it to flee."

Looks like Israel will have to send in infantry to protect its tanks, shoot anyone approaching a tank.
To: Yaelle
You beat me to it. Exactly right. We cannot so simply write terrorists off as "not human". They are very much human, who have chosen evil ideologies over goodness.
Heck, they could have even chose ambivalent and still been OK. But no, they chose evil.
To: familyop
a squad of young men once willing to die as "human bombs" are now preparing to die as human anti-tank mines.Oh, PLEASE do!

A mine sweeper. The chains spin around and beet the ground detonating any mine it drives over.
