The latest way of taking out tanks the french are using in libya.

500 pound concrete filled laser guided bomb.

The impact on the top of a tank of 500 pounds of steel and concrete going terminal velocity just goes right through the tank like its butter.

I wouldn't even waste my time and ammo trying to penetrate a tanks armor.The Iraqi's used RPG's and waited til the tank passed and hit the weakest point,the radiator in the back.

If it was a well orchestrated battle,striking at the fuel and ammo supply that HAS to follow along at a distance would render a tank battalion stranded on the battle field.

The heavier the tank the more fuel it uses.

There will not ever be a war again where both sides gather on a battle field and engage each other.

The logistics of getting the supplies there would make it prohibitive.

The only reason we had some success in Iraq was that they were always in a defensive posture and never went on the offensive.

Bull,defensive or offensive their mistake was waiting too long and having a moron for a leader.Even If they had rolled it would have made our job easier.We had them on range and individual skills.If they went NBC that would have gotten ugly...for them.

Whys it really matter not like your trying to go blow up a tank

The easiest way to defeat a tank is with another tank. Yes i know im stating the obvious. Take into consideration the american m1a1 abrams main battle tank. Its normal load is a depleted uraninim shell. think of a missile nose cone. some icbms have multiple warheads that seek out other targets when the nose cone breaks. the shell works like this. whats actually fired after the shell splits apart is a spear like round. This uses no explosives and kills other tanks with pure kinetic energy.

Just use artilery or if you can't get that use POT or TETHER mines to knock out the treads then sneak up and kill the crew. C-4 is always a good idea. Or go prank style with a patatoe in the tail pipe.

there used to be a door in the top, so basically it can be penetrated fairly easy!!

PUT C-4 ON THE HATCH!!!!!!
