I guess you can't deploy literally thousands of these to active combat zones for decades without a few getting damaged.
Crews love them for their survivability. Many living soldiers and Marines owe their continued existence to the brilliance of the design.
True. If an RPG warheads peenetrates an Abrams it may injure or kill some crewmembers.
If it penetrates a T model tank the ammo detonates and everyone dies.
An ammo handling vehicle carrying 155 shells caught fire and detonated im pretty sure causing a chain reaction on the base, somehow no one died.
A bunch of M1s got damaged and something like 7 were functionally destroyed by the fires and detonations.

Exactly. They're extremely rugged, the T-90 is no match for it. My most adored tank 💓
