The point I am making is that a missle strike on a "bombed up" tank will usually not totally tear apart the hull to that extent. I am guessing the target had some help in the way of extra explosives.

Hi Perry

I have no proof but had heard that it was determined that the tank used in this product demonstration was beefed up with "extra" explosives for a more spectacular effect.

I have always found it hard to swallow that this T-72 was carrying a "normal" battle load of fuel and ammo.

regards
Darrell
