ian. NO M1A2 has ever been taken out in combat by any local. it has always been by the crew letting there guard down or by a IED so powerfull that no armored vehicle could have survived. most times you see a burning M1 it was scutteled by the crew or blowen up by a hellfire to keep it from falling in the hands or the other side. i know of at least 2 that were taken out this way with no harm to the crew ( one was a engine failing, and the other was due to falling into a river). i think the only other tank that i would like to be in durring combat is the Merkavha or maybe the chalanger II. the lepard 2 and AMX 40 (leclerk) have serious drawbacks, and lets not even bother counting the T-90 or the black eagle unless you are ready to buy 100 of them at a time.
