An abandoned enemy vehicle may present inhalation hazards due to the potential presence of toxic substances such as fuel vapors, chemical agents, or hazardous materials. If the vehicle was involved in combat, it could also contain residual smoke from explosive materials or burnt chemicals. Additionally, mold or mildew may develop inside if the vehicle is waterlogged, posing respiratory risks. Proper precautions and protective gear should be used when approaching or investigating such vehicles.

In an abandoned enemy vehicle that has been fired on by armor-piercing projectiles, a significant inhalation hazard may be the presence of lead and other heavy metals released from the projectiles, as well as toxic fumes from burning materials or chemicals inside the vehicle. Additionally, if ammunition or explosives were ignited, hazardous smoke and particulate matter could also pose serious respiratory risks. These inhalation hazards can lead to acute or chronic health effects for individuals exposed to them. Proper precautions and protective equipment should be used when approaching such vehicles.
