  5. "Between Jan and Dec 2001, 45 Abrams tanks suffered fires during training, some were damaged, some were destroyed entirely. Over the tank's life at that point (22 yrs), there had been >600 fires - that's almost 10% of the fleet had..." https://www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/el/fire_research/Finnerty-Fires-Experienced-and-Halon-1310-Fire-suppression-systems-in-current-weapon-Systems.pdf An examination of data from peacetime fire incidents experienced by ground vehicles reveals several facets pertinent to this study. In Table 1, peacetime fire incident data for the M1/M1A1 tank for the years 1988, 1989, 1990 and the fires six months of 1991 have been summarized.

  13. the final version of Arjun's calculations, all the thicknesses of the plates correspond to the real ones according to the nomenclature of the armor plates (those that existed), the dimensions of the special armor of the turret may not be accurate because there is nothing to check them with, 2 fuel tanks inside the engine bay have been added to the diagram which were not previously visible, more accurate estimates only possible if someone undertakes to build 3D... *pink plate - pure frp
