The difference from a normal Humvee is about 3,000 lbs of armor on all sides.
The front tire missed the anti-tank mine and the left rear was not so lucky. The vehicle flipped over onto its top facing the way whence it came.

This was a mine strike by an up-armored Humvee.

Also found in the area, was a PMA2 anti personnel mine about the size of a doughnut. | |
| You can see that the crew compartment of the Humvee stayed intact despite the mine strike. |
