The white piece of paper in the photo above covers where the tanks armor was penetrated.
"Shortly before dawn on Aug. 28, an M1A1 Abrams tank on routine patrol in Baghdad “was hit by something” that crippled the 69-ton behemoth....The hole was so small that “my little finger will not go into it,” the report’s author noted."
Hmmm... Is this a new weapon by the Iraqis? Whatever it is, after boring into the tank, knocked out the systems and ended up on the opposite side of the tank.
Until now, the U.S army don't know what it is and are "excited" to find out.
To find out more about the M1 Abrams Tank, mozy on over to the Fed of American Scientists site.
More pictures of the damage can be seen at this site
