Is that ERA on the turret face of the Abrams in beginning of this video???

OPFOR? Simulating a T-72 or something like that?

Its an A1 Abrams, 11TH Cav doesn't deploy so they don't get the A2 SEP V3's. I'm guessing its to simulate the turret reactive armor on T-72's T-80's T-90's.

TUSK ERA is on the side skirts.

Has to be some VIZMOD OPFOR thing at NTC.

And in other scenes there are fuel drums hung off the bustle rack.

Still looks like an Abrams. At least the old M551 vismods didn't look like Sheridans. Didn't look like T-80's either.

That's the tank version of putting on a fake mustache and calling it a disguise

You guys ever see the T-34/85s mocked up to be M48s? OPFOR VISMOD isn't easy.


You ever see what OPFOR was like in the 1960's with the bright green uniforms and the helmet with the little ridge on it?

Here's a bunch of different VISMODs.

The Abrams has been used at NTC for years in the OPFOR role.

Here are Krasnovian Army VISMODs.
