I thought that too and maybe they are. But I think that there is nothing to put them to scale. If this is true and those are the pics, I am surprised anyone lived.

Re: Friendly Fire Incident

Damn, it's a similar story with the Challenger 2 tank which suffered no casualties in Iraq apart from a friendly fire incident.
