You've got to admit it, Iraqi fighters have got balls. This guy's putting up
explosives to the Bradley under the very noses of U.S. soldiers. I assume the
tank is empty at the time, but anyway. Here's the link:

P.S. The hysterical 'triggerfinger' syndrome hits once again.. I wonder what
those soldiers think they're shooting at..
I think I recall reading from somewhere that modern tanks have these systems
that automatically start firing all functional weapon systems when the tank
has taken severe damage and it can be assumed that the crew is incapacitated
Hmm, that may be. But imho after that amount of explosive (notice the ball of
fire), i kind of doubt any weapons systems would be intact (also considering
it isn't even an abrams tank, but generally an apc-type vehicle).
In that video, i find it funny that:
A Bradley is referred to as a tank.
I can't think of any reason why a bradley would just be left standing in an
urban area with it not even trying to look about or any support on the
outside. Just suicidal
The gunfire starts wayyyy too late to be any automated system. There is are no
muzzle flashes from any of its main weapons. And the shooting stops just when
the smoke clears.
My guess is that its either an abandoned vehicle left behind for some reason,
or a mock target made to look like a bradley that was blown up and later the
gunfire was edited in.
