An M1A2 Abrams tank crew fired a 120 mm round at two attackers on a rooftop, killing both,

One of the rules of gunfighting is "bring enough gun." I think they did in this case. 120 mm = 4.724 caliber

I would imagine it’s classified information but I was wondering if anyone had an idea how to find the number of main battle tanks that have been destroyed in Iraq?
I watched a little bit of enemy propoganda on line and they had several images of totalled Abrahms. Many were obviously the same tank from different angles but others looked like they had been hit by shaped charges. I remember when we were having serious problems with Iranian gifts of that sort.
It just made me wonder what the “real” damage may have been. I got a little pissed at Iran when I saw that.
