What would happen if lightning hits a Tank?

I know a car will die, but tanks have armor on them, will the armor keep them safe or will the lightning cause some sort of damage or worse?

    It's happened and you can find accounts from soldiers online who've been caught in exactly such a situation.  Basically the crew is safe and nothing happens with the ammo, but the tank's electronics instantly fry.
