I think there’s a new one now, isn’t there, from march? Of a “destroyed” Abrams, where the crew got out safely, turret still attached and probably recoverable.
I remember on some military channel how tank crews were terrified of burning up inside a tank (a common fate in WWII) and so the A1 was made as fireproof as they possibly could make it.
It may have just been history channel propaganda, though.

There’s a couple of photos of abrams with fracked tracks that they’ve been claiming are “destroyed”, that’s been pretty great.
Well, if that happens on the retreat, that’s still a loss of a vehicle. But losing a crew is almost always worse.
“Almost always?”
