Unfortunately, this thing has happened before. There are several photos of US tanks in Germany and the NTC where tanks have nosed in. Common danger when navigating cross-country and using night vision devices. Very little depth perception when using those things.

Hi, Just curious here. How much actual damage does something like this do to the vehicle in question? Other than the obvious, like the gun barrel and probable crew injuries.

Thanks and take care. sgirty

Oh crap! The driver must have had a major headache (if he survived).
