You got it , LAW, Light anti tank weapon. Even though the sheridan was light armor it used false shielding to help detonate API before reaching the hull. A heavy armor tank with auxilary armor packed on top takes one hell of a shell to stop.

If you look at the Russian forces, I see lots of BMPs and PT-76s, not many T-72s or T-62s. One of the first tranches of resupply for the Georgian army should be TOWs, but the LAW has some uses.
