To somewhat side track, is anyone else having twitter issues? I sometimes can’t read posts here and my feed has been overwhelmed with Allen being fired.
No idea since I don't use Twitter anymore. But I still can see the posts on the site.
Yeah, those guys didn't know where to go. At least they had sense enough to stay out of sight of the tank. I'm a little surprised the tank didn't quickly follow up with a second shot into the AFV.
They are lucky it was a tank and not a Bradley. No one would have survived.
No doubt, that main gun would have shredded the vehicle before they could get out.
On Reddit some seem to believe that it was an AT round (pure kinetic) and not HEAT, and that the round was aimed at the engine. Hence no detonation and why the mounts were able to survive without disabling injuries. Also the fact it was an IFV means its armor was thinner than a tank and the round was a through-and-through without bouncing around inside, causing less damage than it would if it was more heavily armored, like a tank.
The posters were saying fired, but it was Snuffy the fireman or NFCC Southwatch. I looked here and saw nothing. I assume it was trolls or bots on a test run.
