 SUMMARY:

C-12 (M1A1 Heavy Armor) as maneuvering across the objective when it halted just in front of a dug-in position. AS the tank backed up, it was hit in the rear by an unknown type round. The engine immediately shut-down, and all electrical power was subsequently lost. the crew evacuated the vehicle, and, as they reached the ground, heard an incoming AT missile which impacted on the read of the bustle rack. A fire started with the ruck sacks/duffle bags and associated equipment strapped to the bustle rack. Although all equipment on the outside of the tank was destroyed by the fire, there was no damage to the inside of the turret, and no secondary explosions. There were no injuries to any crew members. The tank was recovered on 4 Mar 91.
