  • Iraqi armor battled Coalition forces with Soviet-built T-72 and Chinese-built T-55 & T-59 tanks. Above, Iraqi T-72 tank was hit in mid section, resulting explosion blew open the engine cover and ajar the turret. Book 1 Reddish brown color is burnt annealed metal, black color is soot from fuel and rubber stains. Type 59 tank - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_59

  • Iraqi armor traveling in daytime was extremely vulnerable to marauding Coalition air power. Even travel by night is dangerous due to allied night vision technology. Which ever the case, this T-72 was caught in the open and destroyed. T-72 Tank - www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/t-72.htm

  • Rollover : Destroyed Abrams being placed on recovery flatbed, note the flatbed itself has one blown tire and a bent axle. Four M1s were destroyed in close quarter combat with Iraqi forces.
