I guess they feel the skirting is necessary in the rear, but not the front. Is a very small spot to hit.
Here is a M1A2, another beautiful machine.

Wish the Israelis exported this thing whole-they only give out certain parts of this tank.It would be a real best seller & cause the Abrams & Leo-2 salesmen plenty of heartburn.prospective buyers could have ranged from India,Australia,Singapore,Chile to South Korea.If im not mistaken a lot of Merkava tech is seen on the Indian Arjun MBT(fire control system & LAHAT missiles) & South Korea's next gen tank.
