How powerful is M2 Bradley?

- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- In fact, the Bradley already has a track record of winning shootouts with full-sized Russian tanks. Production for the Bradley began in 1981, when it replaced the M113 armored personnel carrier, greatly exceeding the M113’s speed and power. The Bradley has been a staple of the Army’s armored troop-carrying capability since its introduction to the battlefield during Operation Desert Storm, losing only 3 of the 2,200 that were deployed.

There's a lot of outdated info here. The firing ports and amphibious capability were quickly replaced with better armor. I doubt even the most backwards National Guard units still have any in that original configuration.
opsec
prolly for the best
@@crispyglove Matsimus or the Chieftain tier channels are very much the exception, sadly.
I don’t know about guard units but the reserves have pretty much the same stuff active does because we’re federal. Guard is state militia by definition, We obviously just use it way less. I have seen some guard units still using the old half ton. They’ve got a lot of acu pattern stuff still.
true that. No current Bradley variants can swim.
What takes out the tanks isn’t necessarily the chain gun, it’s the TOW missiles it also carries.
The purple tip rounds is what kills T72's, it's the spooling that kills the crews, there's no penetration ..
Bradleys shud have been introduced earlier, Ukraine would have had 100s more ruski tanks ..
All of the above.
@@gordonpkm7560 What does the purple tip round do? How does it kill without penetration? Concussive force?
@@codyyoutz
the bushmaster purple round, doesn't penetrate it breaks spools off the inner surface, an white hot shrapnel races around the interior..
A Sabot D.U. round does, penetrate, armor, that's where the Jack in the Box term came from, Iraq with T64s exsploding from the inside ..
@@gordonpkm7560 I'm hesitant to believe someone that calls in spooling rather than spalling.
Not to give too much away, (OPSEC) but the M240c can be accurately operated like a pin point accurate sniper rifle with a burst rate of 6-10 rounds per second in the day or night. I'm sure the sights have been improved since I was in, but you could target things at 13 clicks out without ever being seen.
I was on the M3A2 for several years. I've got a real boner to see the Bradley finally getting used for what it was designed for. I'm going to Costco to stock up on popcorn.
Yeehaw, I can't wait!! I hope Ukraine live streams them in action!
What's your take on the TOW on it? I heard some people complain it takes too long to flip-up the launcher and the rocket's too slow, meaning you have to expose the vehicle for too long.
@@stanislemovsky5590 I'd imagine it's a case of having any anti tank rocket is better than not having any means of combating tanks, right? Like if there is a Russian armored column that doesn't notice them, it could be very useful, but the vehicle also has the ability to just outrun the enemy tank and avoid a head on battle anyway. Although I am not an expert on the system, so I have no idea.
oH mY lORD!!!If you know OPSEC,... then i hope your not giving away?... oh my god! how many pounds is a gallon of water?!?!?
@@bobouzala These days it has more to do with current battlefield positions, than info that the enemy has already. And your answer is, "8."
Had some support from a Bradley in Iraq 2005. It is an awesome platform. A tow here and there will destroy an enemy holding out in a compound.
Damn this comment does not aged well
@@UsudUsud-ly9qrHow didn’t it age well?
The cannon can shred BMP's and the 6-8 tow missiles can take out even the best Russian tanks FYI, Bradleys were built specifically to fight Russians in eastern Europe we just never had the chance to see them work until now!!!
It seems you are far from a expert :):):)
@@micamika8844 REally so what kind of armor does a Bradley have? Can is swim across a river?? Whats the max Shell size it can defend against?? You sir are obviously clueless because i can answer these off the top of my head!
@@markkrajnik I can answer one with certainty. It cannot "swim" across a river because it is not amphibious.
The Bradley M2A3 is fully amphibious and propelled in the water by its tracks at a maximum speed of 6.4 km/h. Combat Equipment. also kits are available for the standard one!
@@markkrajnik Its main job is to kill Infantry and using correctly it can maybe kill a tank Let's just say the guy who gets hit by that gun hes missing both his legs and arms and he is not going to come home alive
5:28 The Bradley can ford water to a certain height, but it is not amphibious
Initial version had amphib. capability (even if really iffy), however that capability went away with subsequent versions of the vehicles. When that happened, all of the vehicles (even the earlier versions) were prohibited from attempting amphibious ops.
I'm in the Military and operate on the Bradly so I can say for sure that it will sink with all the extra armor
Need the AAVPC or LAV25 - US MARINES!
Bout to say, this vehicle can ford water but you would have to outfit it with it's amphib gear and is proved not reliable
@@jungleboy1 , BOOYAH!
Former US Army Bradley driver/gunner/Bradley Commander deployed to Iraq in 2004-2005.
Loved it.
I've noticed something. People who've actually operated Bradleys say it's good but the online experts say otherwise.
The answer is an emphatic yes
Bradley's killed more Soviet tanks then the Abrams during Desert Storm...so yes, it can
Your dum af 😂
Correction- cheap export versions, that have been downgraded for mass production. Still a T 72 or T64 or even a T 80 with no ERA would definitely get penetrated by a TOW anti tank missile. Though in that sense, the Kornet or other Russian anti tank launchers can also penetrate the Abrams, but of course it depends what versions of the said tanks.
Yes... against old soviet tanks, maybe... against modern russian tanks, no chance
@@malusadv good thing that there's very few modern Russian tanks left on the battlefield these days
@@AlexSKS old or new, murican german or russian, tanks are no match for ATGM.
It aged like milk
4km of range in burst! What a terror! 😲
It's actually a good mine clearing machine
It has already proven itself against these tanks, it is extremely effective.
Its proven itself against these tanks in conditions of overwhelming superiority, lavish logistical support, open terrain, years of training and air supremacy.
@@osric1730 if this thing is around 1 mile away it can easy take out a Russian tank. They are dropping 30 mic mic grnades on them and they are blowing up.
@@evrydayamerican Most of the drone porn on RUclips involves dropping grenades through the open hatches of almost certainly abandoned vehicles. You can trash just about any armored vehicle by detonating a grenade internally, and you only get to see the successful ones.
The fact is a Bradley is not designed to be a tank hunter, its designed to be able to defend itself from tanks when the chips are down. It doesn't have the armor for tank hunting, if that were not a consideration there would be no need for MBTs at all. If the Bradley is a mile away from Russian armor its more vulnerable than its opponent. You seem to imagine the Russians are just going to sit there and see if the Bradley is all its cracked up to be. A WW2 era 17 pounder mounted on a clown car could probably take down a T72, provided the T72 sits there and lets him.
The fact is the Bradley's record is predicated upon extremely favorable battlefield conditions. That's not to say its a paper Tiger, but the fact it had no problem taking out Iraqi T72s with the full might of the US military to protect it and Apaches and F16 flying around above, is not the same thing as taking out a T72 in Ukraine conditions. It just isn't.
@@osric1730 think you’re right to be honest, the Ukrainian frontline is a stalemate not favorable for any side, therefore it will come down to the skills of the tank men, and the Bradley’s thin armor is no match if it needs to defend for a given period of time against main battle tanks.
@@osric1730 considering that m113s and humvees run circles around Russian defense lines in Kharkiv, Bradleys will be overkill on the front lines of Ukraine.
We all know the answer to that now.
No need for speculation
true, a Bradley just took out a T-90M today 😂😂
In the first Gulf War those things took out more enemy armored vehicles than the M1´s, including tanks. With a well trained crew could be dangerous to anything on a battlefield.
As an ex lav3 gunner, these look tight. I always liked the old school Nam tracked apc
I wouldn't want to mess with one of these babies...greetings from 🇩🇪
Paired with some Leopard 2's, they're going to make some lovely music in the Kremlin!! I wonder if this is what finally breaks Putin, with Russians watching everything that they fought so hard for over the last year get retaken by a couple of funny looking armored fighting vehicles and 28 leopard 2's!!
@Amando Marques Sure they will...😂🤦
I'm sure they still have loads of T-34s rotting in some warehouses. Or fancy T-64s...😂😂😂
@@dasmaurerle4347 Haha exactly!! Or maybe some Shermans left over from Lend-Lease🤣
Although even taking those into account, Russia only had about 3,000 in total at the start of the war, and they have lost about 1,700 and had another 600 or so captured by Ukraine! Thanks to Russia, Ukraine now has more tanks than it did before the war!
I actually hope that Russia has 1,500 tanks left, it will mean more for Ukraine to capture. Thanks Putin for such a lovely gift!
As a kid in the 80s, the guys in the family loved to go to Armed Forces Day at Aberdeen Proving Ground near Baltimore. They ran an awesome live fire show with the then new Abrams, Bradley, M60s, Cobra gunships all attacking targets at the main range. I still remember one Bradley gunner racing around the uneven track firing and hitting the target with every shot. Same for Abrams. Tank races were the best - poor old M -60 never won😢
that new cannon is pretty sweet and would be a game changer for these im sure.

Hell yeah a Bradly can take out a orc tank
With just the 25mm. A TOW is almost overkill.

that was more to do with better training and better targeting equipment than the vehicles inherent destructive fire power also T55 and T62 are pretty much 2nd world war tanks and the T72 was the export version not what Russia had. It was also about about being in the right place at the right time.

The Bradley might look like a hodgepodge of miscellaneous parts but its one fine fighting machine! The US has built around 10,000 of them! Even giving 500 of them to Ukraine will make a big difference. They are all weather, all terrain and effective against pretty much anything. They even have Bradleys geared for anti air.
Please check the internet before trying to write stats.
Total of 6,785 built and ~109 given to Ukraine...
Do they compare to the bmps tho?
@@divoulos5758 🤡
@@jackb4868 59 or 60
Bro just lied with confidence. 😂😂
How powerful? Well. Desert Storm Had it killing more than the M-1, and had several close range kills on T-72s. As far as lost, we were our own worst enemy, with 85% of Bradley kills attributed to friendly fire.
Have you noticed the stability of the barrel during firing vs the BMP's. I watched a BMP firing and the barrel was jumping all over the place....I was like how can that be effective fire???
Because neither the Bradley or BMP are precise fire weapons with their guns. They are area suppression weapons. Both carry a majority of HE rounds vs Armor piercing. Of course the missiles are pretty accurate but the cannons are meant to suppress in support of dismounted infantry.
Ruzzians don't do quality control.
@@williampayton9515 You are wrong. The Bradley fire rate is much slower than the BMP with much better optics.
Russians… pray and spray
Bradley…. Can I shoot the apple off his head at 1000 meters?
@@williampayton9515 Not true. The Bradley’s choose what kind of ammo and how much per mission, if enemy apcs or ifvs were spotted in the area they are taking majority armor piercing, and you are wrong about accuracy the Bradley’s cannon fires slower than the BMPs and almost never fires more than 5 round bursts
Hell yeah Bradleys are bad to the bone! I like this new 50mm Auto-cannon they were talking about I bet it can pump out some fire-power for sure !!
Looks like a mean machine! 💪💪
Coming equipped with TOWs does give it capability to take out heavy armor. And the Bushmaster can destroy other combat vehicles and IFVs.
Destroyed by a shovel so not that powerful after all
Damn, that hit hard
Excellent Episode 👍
The Bradley is Excellent vs Russian Tanks etc...
The is also the Linebacker model. Instead of the TOW missile. There is a 4 missile pod with Stinger Missles for Air Defense use.
I've always wondered about the process for upgrading the Bradley vs replacing.
Seems to me there ae a lot of "preferables" related to the Bradley's basic design.
The taller profile is vastly preferred for comfort of the crew and troops being transported.
The armament can always be upgraded easily to whatever one might want as long as it's not a really big gun. But a missile system is more than adequate for a shot or two. It just needs to retreat quickly after an encounter and get resupplied an can't stand toe to toe with an adversary's heavy armor for long.
Being tracked probably is not going away in favor of wheels.
The engine can be replaced with a hybrid electric like the proposed Abrams X, probably without much issue.
So, why replace the Bradley with a new design?
Military R&D is BIG business. Especially in the US. The government gives out highly lucrative contracts for companies to come up with new tech. Most of the time, though, exactly what you're talking about happens: they just upgrade the existing platforms with better arments and sensor packages. It's why things like the F22, while exceptional as it is (in theory), F-15 and F18 aren't going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, the Hornets just got upgrade packages not long ago to Super Hornets with more powerful engines and sensor tech. The B52 is another good example. It was supposed to be replaced by the B1 and B2 bombers long ago. But they built a fraction of the B1 and B2 that was initially claimed and their programs were extremely expensive and suffered massive budget overruns. Meanwhile, the B52s from the Cold War got engine upgrades and are still more than capable of raining a very bad day down on any enemy anywhere in the world.
Dont get me wrong, some of the new things that have been developed over the years are really good and really cool...it's just extremely expensive for the taxpayers when you could get more "bang for your buck" improving existing weapons platforms.
Welcome to the wonderful world of the Military Industrial Complex. Selling you crap you don't need for only 500 million, 2bn overruns not withstanding. Why upgrade old tech when you can buy brand new. For a limited time only I can sell you 3 for the cost of 2 on a minimum of 5000 units or more. Seriously though the Bradley had more than 2 tow missiles and additional 25mm and 7.62 stores on board.
Can it shoot down T72 turrets?
No, but that is a job for the Air Defense to do.
The Bradley can launch T-72 turrets though.
🤣🤣🤣
What would you rather have supporting you on the ground, a bradley or a russian MBT?
10,000 Bradley's
That is amazing!
Bradleys killed more tanks than Abrahms in Desert Storm
If I recall an article many years ago in SOF magazine killer teams of 2 Bradley’s and 1 Abrahms were deadly on T72’s. Same problem back then with the T72 with Jack-in-the-box turrets. The 25 mm main guns with Depleted Uranium zipped right through those turrets and the subsequent magazines blew sky high.
This base unit might be the most versatile system ever created. It would be hard to argue, even variants with anti-air. They are exceptional.
This comment aged like milk left on the sun in the desert
As a Ukrainian born and raised, I hope US will provide Ukraine with more of these Bradley’s ! They need it! Glory to the heroes! Slava Ukraini!
Простите нас...
Im sure we will as the need arises.
Дайте гроши.... все как обычно
En ay zee eye detected!
The CV90 can, so can the Bradley
nice video
Upgunning to 50mm is a very wise decision. Notice the Swedish CV-90 similar fighting vehicle has always mounted a 40mm Bofors. And is just about to be used by Ukraianian forces. 50 units sent from Sweden.
That's debatable. There are always tradeoffs. If you use the larger gun, you are forced to carry fewer rounds. The bigger rounds are more effective against armor, but it may be better to have a larger number of smaller rounds when facing infantry.
@Dwane Anderson yes. But look up recent developments Bofors-Raufoss 40mm and 57mm multi task munitions.
Air burst 40mm is no joke. Nor is 40mm exploding shell in the very middle of a buildings room. There is also a variant they rarely discuss that sheds three or four submunitions in a long chain of dispersment. Only a larger bore diameter allows this experimentation of modern munitions.
The Bradley is WAY better than the Soviet BNP's.
But they both are outdated of today's warfare.
@@mikkorenvall428 Infantry fighting vehicles are still a necessity.
When they were displaying the different types of ammunition the main gun could fire I did not hear any mention of depleted uranium rounds. I would think this type of round would be very handy in dealing with other armored vehicles. Anyone know if it can handle such ammunition?
Was in a combat engineer company. These fighting vehicles can light shit up
Its a game of who can see first shoots first.
With optics and extreme range weapons and artillery fire support.
A bradley and it's fire team can get into place fire off a salvoe of TOW missiles and JAvelin missiles take out tanks and be out of there so fast the badguys wont know what hit them.
And to finish them off a barage of artillery.
It's badass. No vehicle (even some tanks) want to be on the receiving end of the Bushmaster cannon's special deliveries..
What do you think of that videous where dozens of bradleys just stayin on the field abandoned and destroyed
The Bradley is a tank killer because it comes with this thing called infantry
If it can dismount its infantry with anti-tank weapons prior to the battle the tank can find itself fighting up to 7 opponents from multiple attack vectors
I wouldn't want to be in a Bradley if it takes a direct hit from a tank round, the armor isn't nearly as thick as a tanks
But that is also why it will run circles around most tanks, with a speed that is almost twice that of most tanks
Bradley can kill just fine. Doesnt trade well, however. Does more than what it was designed for, despite hiccups. Darkhorse, did some legendary work in Bradleys during Desert Storm.
If it can destroy more tanks than tanks themselves, then I am sold. Unfortunately most equipments in Ukraine are not facing tank fire but rather an artillery barrage guided by drones and in that case Bradleys are as vulnerable as any other equipment.
Except they are equiped with electronics and battle managment that will enable it to call in accurate fire support.
It has exellent night vision capability and Russia can't fight at night, so artillery during that time should be almost non existing.
Umm… keep moving. 🙄
Bingo and very soon there’s a high probability that Ukraine will have lost much of its anti aircraft capability and we all know what that means for armour…..
@@zulubeatz1
Except the fire support is already unable to keep up….
With 100% certainty YES and it has done 100s of times. TOW system can penetrate anything short of T14 and possibly can destroy/damage that as well. Bushmaster can from the flanks and rear mobility kill or cause damage to mission critical systems. Only the most veteran crew would react well to multiple 3-5 round bursts of Bushmaster hitting them unless it was a true frontal facing.
Lol… T14s are non existent as they only exist to drive in parades… and they break down doing that.😅
Thanks for reminding me of The Pentagon Wars. Great flick!
Mostly all lies though.
Combine the three crew into 1-2 and find a way to expand the number of troops can carry. Lightening the load by a few tons would be a bonus
The title makes no sense 😕 Why would you not pay extra attention writing a title? I just don't get that? Lol
Does it have a ballistic computer and is it accurate on the move or on a moving target?
Yeah. And it had real-time display of a battlefield so all the commanders can mark targets and share with other Bradley’s and artillery units and tankers.
It’s rather impressive.
"More faster" is baby language.
They took out more tanks than the Abrams in the Iraq conflict
t-90m
A Bradley with a 50mm chain gun would be awesome!!!
The Bradley only has space for 900 rounds. With the 50mm installed u are removing another seat or two for troops again.
@@CSRI Maybe they use a bigger turret to off set that issue.
Yes. IIRC they carry 2-3 tow rockets in pods. Those rockets are tank busters.
I don't know anything about military weaponry/materials, I interpret the Bradley's overall capabilities as the next heavy hitters of the Russo/Ukraine war. Like the HIMARS, shoulder launched anti-armor and anti-aircraft rockets currently in use. Either way, I would hate to be on the business end of the BFV. 🤘
They’re solid. I wouldn’t say they’re the best at everything, but everything “just works” and they’re solid. The whole package might be the best IFV.
@@randallturner9094 Yeah, especially against Russian equipment, or lack thereof. The NATO doctrine for fighting Russia calls for the breakthrough of Russian lines in localized areas, using armored vehicles like the Bradley and Leopard 2 to smash through the opening and get around behind the frontlines, causing chaos. Precision artillery also targets key positions and command centers, causing confusion and chaos behind enemy lines. Best case scenario for Russia, they recognize they are being overrun, and retreat in time. Worst case, they're untrained conscripts completely panic and break down, accidentally shooting allies and abandoning equipment en masse. Large encirclements, complete collapse. With any luck, something big will be coming soon!!!
Of course it can. Already has in Iraq
Yes - Gulf War, 2 Bradley's took out an entire platoon of T72's with their TOW missiles
A 50mm chain gun is mind-boggling. While a single round can't penetrate front armor, it could thump any tank to death if it stacked d dozen or 2 rounds. Pretty sure if hit by 4-5 of those the Russian tank crew would think they're going to blow and abandon ship.
Please delete your comment, dont embarrass Bradley more
Glad to hear that the Bradley can be used as an anti-tank weapon. But you don't mention whether the canon upgrade will be made available to the Ukrainians, nor do you mention what type of Bradley's we are sending to Ukraine. I like to know how hard it would have been to send Ukraine 500 Bradleys (out of our mothballed stock of 4,000) instead of the measely 50 we sent. I don't get goosebumps just looking at undeployed military gadgets. I only care about defending Eastern Europe from Russian despotism and want to know if the Ukrainians are getting what they need from us to win the war quickly. I doubt very much that the current administration is giving Ukraine what it needs to win.
Yeah bradleys are the best machines ever when it come to clearing minefields

The designation of “tank” has always amused me. Considering the origins and evolution of “tanks”, then and were the BFV to have been out in WWII (or, for that matter, WWI) I can’t see (or have seen) any soldier not shouting, “There’s a tank!”
If you are infantry, anything tracked which can lay down serious firepower is a tank!

How does the Bradley compare to other IFVs in the modern battlespace?
yes. during the first Gulf War, they took out Soviet tanks using just their chain guns.
Although they weren't designed for tank encounters, it has been considered greatly in their design. That's why they have tow missiles

50mm chain gun + a Bradley ifv = nuff evolution for next 15 years easy. Smart rounds available for the 50mm add a rich template of lethality to a competent battle field taxi chassis. My humble concise opinion based purely on available data.🙏
You could throw a bicycle at a Russian tank and it'd explode.
Bradley IFV has been destroying T-72s since the 90s.

Cope harder vatnik
yes when manned by crap crews that don't do Level 10 maintenance
That's every vehicle in existence
Having the 50mm and a 'fire and forget' anti tank missile system ,should be for any new builds
TOW isn't fire and forget weapon that why it is called TOW. When it fires it has a control wire that allows it to be guided to the target. Its a great anti armour weapon but its really only for defence purposes.
Tow is manually targeted, I think they should switch to Javellin for upgrade
@mixi t yeah,I know about the wire guide part..was just saying for next design ... but can they fit another type? Like a javelin.... the CV90 showcases a fire and forget weapons system for their anti tank
looks pretty impressive to me.
Fascinating TY
Twice the standoff. Why this new gun hasn’t already be retrofitted to a large percentage of the active fleet, bewilders me.
It is quite a machine and fun to drive
The only people who question the lethality of the Bradley have never used one. That's a fact. The TOW is slated to be in use until 2075 for a reason. Not a tank on this planet can take a TOW 2B hit and live.
Very capable!
Increasing the caliber-size isn't always about putting out more power, but is also about simple delivery of payload: meaning, a bigger projectile can hold more explosives. The kinetic rounds -- the non-explosive ones -- may be much more powerful, only a little more powerful, or not much more powerful at all. I'm just saying that I think they want to put more explosive on target, and that's why the gun got bigger.
