The AFU is training with the M2 Bradley, which is fitted with the Bradley Urban Survival Kit (BUSK) dynamic side protection. This is usually used in urban environments, where a soldier with an RPG can jump out from around a corner and shoot at close range. pic.twitter.com/mIEgy21sB5

The kit is designed specifically for these M2 Bradley fighting vehicles. BUSK provides additional protection against grenade launchers and anti-tank missiles. The armour is used in urban environments where the enemy can strike at close range.
The developers did not disclose the detailed characteristics of BUSK. Dynamic protection containers can be mounted on the turret, as well as on the front and sides of the infantry fighting vehicle.
