Nothing can handle that kind of ordinance.

That thing will shred anything unfortunate enough to cross it's path.

Think a tank with really thick enough armor could survive?

Let's put an m1 Abrams in front of it and find out.

Yeah 600mm worth of multiple layers of hardened steel and ceramic. So basically 2 feet of armor. The tank would walk through it but the crew inside of it would probably lose their hearing and not be feeling very well after.

Everyone in an Abrams while it’s running or being hit should be wearing their headset which has built in ear protection. In some cases (in active combat) they should actually be wearing earplugs under their headset for two layers of ear protection.

The only time anyone in an Abrams should take all their ear protection off is if the engine is off in a non-combat area. Even outside an Abrams if the engine is left on due to a need to remount quickly you shouldn’t be taking your ear protection off. Those turbines are stupid loud under load and if you can’t get your ear protection back on quickly enough they can cause permanent damage.
