On the other hand, in the Iraqi civil war from 2004 onward, the ground combat faced by the US military has shifted to urban warfare, and portable anti-tank weapons, landmines, and improvised explosives that launch ambush attacks at close range have become a major threat. To deal with this, the TUSK, an urban warfare system, was introduced to the M1 tank around 2007. This is an enhanced package for urban warfare. The initial TUSKI featured block-shaped explosive reactive armor on the sides of the hull and additional mine-proof armor on the underside. It was also equipped with an M2 heavy machine gun on the main gun mantlet and a ballistic shield for the loader. The improved TUSK II added tile-shaped explosive reactive armor to the sides of the hull and turret, and a ballistic shield for the commander, but in reality, various equipment was mixed on different vehicles. The M1A2SEP equipped with the TUSK II contributed to operations within Iraq in cooperation with infantry units. ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer: Tamiya\u003cbr\u003eItem No: 35326\u003cbr\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003cbr\u003eJAN: 4950344353262\u003cbr\u003eRemarks\u003cbr\u003e [Model Specifications]\u003cbr\u003eThis is a 1\/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of the M1A2SEP Abrams equipped with the TUSKII reinforced urban warfare package. ●Length 280mm, width 127mm.
