The good thing about the Abrams and the Challenger tanks is that they are without a doubt the most survivable tanks for crewmen out there.No armor is perfect there is always a weakness somewhere.
How many 155mm did that take TLAM?Do you have any idea? I have seen a video of a Striker that had it was estimated 3 155s go off under it.No one was killed and the most serious injury was a broken back that makes me think that it would take at least double to have popped that Abrams turret.Of course the Strikers lower hull was designed with such things in mind the Abrams was not.
155s are nasty in deed my dad very nearly got killed by an NVA 155 shell that hit the the fire base he was resting in it completely blew away the structure he was in at the time which was made of sand bags and the cases that arty shells are stored in it also killed several men and broke another guys back and severed his spine the guy was supposed to head out on an R&R trip to Hawaii to visit his wife instead he got confined to a wheel chair for the rest of his life.
