Let's talk about the nukes

[Husar]

Be aware though the Abrams tanks that they captured are the export version which has much inferior armor. The export versions are given inferior armor for this very reason. The biggest proof of this is that the US version of the Abrams can survive a direct ATGM hit while the export version gets blown to smithereens as has been shown in many videos put out by IS.

I thought the Iraqi government were your best buddies. I almost thought they may have a weaker version, but to have it that weak seems a bit much. Wasn't Chobham replaced with Dor(k)chester anyway? As for surviving an ATGM hit, depends on the angle and the ATGM I guess, I don't think they have lots of deleted Plutoniumham or so on the roof yet for example.

Either way, planes have plenty of ways to dispose of tanks, a 250 or 500kg steel container full of explosives also works as I mentioned, it's what they used a lot in Libya I assume since I vividly remember how the French and British ran out of the guided ones and couldn't attack tanks anymore because the unguided ones tend to miss moving targets too much I guess.

Mini nukes are more for taking out entire platoons or even whatever is above a platoon.
