M1A2 Abrams TUSK I / TUSK II / M1A1 3in1

The Tank Urban Survival Kit (TUSK) is a set of enhancements to the M1 Abrams designed to improve combat capability in urban environments. In the past, urban and other nearby battlefields were poor places for tanks to fight. The front armour of a tank is much stronger than that on the sides, top or rear. In an urban environment, attacks can come from all directions, and attackers can get close enough to reliably hit weak points in the tank's armour, or gain enough height to hit the top armour.
