VBIED can destroy anything. The Abrams is generally immune to most IED's but when you have multiple 152mm artillery shells going off under a tank its game over. The VBIED's are hard to deploy however becuase they take so long. It is a bigger pay off for the insurgetns to use car bombs if they are going to use that much explosive. A car bomb wont get the un-exposed crew members like a VBIED will but it has a much wider blast radius for shrapnel.
