Hackworth: US Vehicular losses in Iraq war
'151 Abrams tanks were hit. Most were repaired on the battlefield and rolled back into the fight. Three tanks took catastrophic hits from Russian AT-14 anti-tank missiles... and 12 others were damaged so badly they ended up in the junkyard. 16 Bradley Fighting Vehicles were destroyed, and 35 seriously damaged. 23 M-113 Armored Personnel Carriers were melted, and 53 trucks were destroyed. A light-infantry weapon called the RPG (rocket propelled grenade) ... damaged or knocked out the vast majority of these vehicles.'
