Was wondering about EFP v. M1A2 - lots of HMVW strikes in 2007-2008 but


Didn’t know about tanks. They’d chew up the H’s which is why Army went to mine vehicles like the Buffaloes.

Did you ever hear about EFPs vs Tanks? Baghdad had much tighter roads so H’s were most prevalent for size.

It also seemed to me that majority strikes were from the sides due to wall placement, which ended the H’s.

My friends were in an M1A2 that hit an arty round IED from the bottom and 1 of the guys I knew was killed in the driver position (closest to the blast). Not EFP though, and underside direction, command det.
