Agreed
My sources still on active duty say it was a new model (RUSSIAN) laser guided SAGGER missile. Designed to take out the Abrams tank. That's why they began putting those neat little "handles" sewn onto the upper soulders of the tankers coveralls. Makes it so much easier to haul a DAT (Dumb Assed TANKER) out the hatch! At least that's what they told me at the Armor Officer's Advanced Course at Fort Knox.
There are three and maybe four HALON "shots" that can be either manually or automatically fired. One in the driver compartment. One in the main turret and one in the critical ammo storage locker that is also protected by a blast door and "blow off" panels on the rear deck. I have seen video shot remotely from the turret when a TOW missile hits the tank and the temperature never exceeds that which is able to support human life.
