  • Spending two weeks in the Mojave Desert with its spiders and scorpions would deter a lot of people, but safe in his M2A3 Bradley fighting vehicle, Specialist Damien Baird of the US Army's Blackhorse regiment is a happy man.
    Not everyone shares his view of the Bradley, although what some people see as the vehicle's weaknesses, Spc Baird sees as its strengths.
    "It's loud, it's big, it kicks up a lot of dust," explained Spc Baird, from Apache 410 Troop, one of Blackhorse's recon elements.

    The basic design is old. The main gun is small compared to newer designs. The TOW missiles are outdated. But sensors and sights have been continually improved. Which is very important.
    But a replacement is needed. And it's happening currently.

    The Bradley is the worlds best IFV that has been combat proven the most. Two Bradleys just managed to disable/destroy a Russian T-90M in Ukraine as they manuvered and took out the tanks systems with the 25mm cannon. There is acutal footage of the incident which makes it even more incredible. Bradleys taking out tanks with the TOW is common but first time I seen it with the cannon. Also, the Bradley has proven vital to saving lives when compared to the death trap that is Russian equivalents.

    In addition... Bradleys can create smoke screens by dumping fuel on the exhaust.

      production doesn’t need to be restarted, the US have only supplied Ukraine with ~200 M2 Bradleys out of ~5000 that the US has. The ODS version they gave to Ukraine is the old version (post-Operation Desert Storm), not the most modern M2A3 version in this video
