Lego M1A2C Abrams TUSK2

The M1A2C Abrams TUSK2 is a modernized version of the M1A2 SEPV v2 main battle tank which benefits from a number of upgrades in the areas of survivability, maintainability, full efficiency and network capability. This improvement in lethality for the Abrams M1A2C TUSK2 derives from the combination of developmental upgrades and the addition of mature technologies that include the Ammunition DataLink (ADL), improved 120mm ammunition, Improved Forward-Looking Infrared (IFLIR) and the low-profile (LP) Common Remotely Operated Weapon System (CROWS). The main armament of M1A2 SEP V3 includes one 120 mm smoothbore M256 cannon. A smoke screen can also be laid by an engine operated system. The M1A2 SEP V3 will be able to fire the M829E4 (soon to be type-classified as the M829A4) fifth-generation kinetic-energy anti-tank (AT) round. This new round provides heavy-armor defeat capability at extended ranges. It uses a depleted-uranium penetrator and anti-armor design advancements to defeat threat targets equipped with AERA (Advanced Explosive Reactive Armor) and APS (Active Protection Systems). The advanced multi-purpose (AMP) round is a line-of-sight munition with three modes of operation: point detonate, delay and airburst.The M1A2C TUSK2 is equipped with a new improved entire IED capability electronic warfare build on the vehicle. This tank will be fitted with (IFLIR) Improved Forward-Looking Infrared to identify a target.
