Hello
I just found a new model from Academy - M1A2 SEP V2 Tusk2 with Crows . I collect all war machines from Iraq and Afghanistan war to present day so is it a existing tank in line or just a prototype ( I just saw a M1A2 SEP with Crows but no tusk ) ?
Thank You for help

As I stated in the other thread, as to the M1A2 SEP v2 wearing TUSK II, no. Other than training events like the video in the other thread, none have been added to M1A2 SEP v2s. TUSK is only used during wartime and has not been used operationally since Iraq. The M1A2 SEP v2 is a post-Iraq version of the Abrams.

So I guess your answer is what side of the fence you peer from. has TUSK been on a crows Abrams? yes, has it been in service, apparently that day yes. Was that unit in service?
