Tanks have always been vulnerable to these sorts of infantry weapons, which is why they never work well alone -- you need supporting infantry ("combined arms"). Another problem for the tankers in these situations is their lousy visibility.

It just seems awful to me that they send these kids out in urban warfare if the equipment isn't designed for urban warfare.
There has to be some sort of technology that could combat these RPGs.
