Question remains...is a tank really RPG resistant. It is impossible to have a vehicle that can do evertyhing that needs to be done by the "urban combat vehicle", IMO.

Maybe strip an abrahms down and reconfigure it's interior as a troop carrier and install a 25mm gun?

Seen the pictures of the US strykers in Iraq, they have the cages on them for just that reason.
