Pictures of pierced armour?

Well, that´s quite it, I need those picture for reference and I´m quite dissapointed about not being able to find them googling. So, who knows of a a web site where I can find such pictures?
I´m talking about stuff like tank impacts, small craters, holes and scorched metal.

I googled "rmy tank museum"and came up with a few.

this one.

Had some nice B/W photos of tiger tanks some with gaping holes and such.

Well, that´s certainly a start, but the images are too small and in black and white; so are not very usefull as reference material- =/

If you don’t mind American-only information, you can file a Freedom of Information Act request with the fine gentlemen at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen MD. They shoot lots of stuff at lots of other stuff, and end up taking lots of pictures of the resulting non-stuff.

If nothing else, you could call them up and find out where the armor you’re interested in is tested. If you’re looking for hardware that’s no longer in our active inventory, there’s a good chance that the information may be unclassified. The fact that you’re in Uruguay complicates the release of information to you, but perhaps an American doper with web space could get it released under FOIA and then post it for all to see.

These folks would probably be lots of help: www.tank-net.org/

You can see pics of the M1 Abrams that was hit on 28 August in Iraq at that site.

Jurph, though that may be the best option, in terms of the material I could get my hand on, seems like too much trouble, not just for me, but for other people; and being a humble kind of person I really don´t like to bother like that. :slight_smile:
1kBR Kid, that site is certainly interesting, I´ll see if some of the members of that forum can help me.

Thanks for the replies.

This may not be what you’re looking for, but in Saipan there are numerous blasted Japanese tanks and artillery guns that have been left where they were hit and turned into memorials. Some photos can be found here:
