      The dunked on Iraq back when they were the worlds 4th largest military and had more working T-72s than Russia.
      The only difference is this time they are going to be forced to fight at much closer ranges due to terrain. There will be losses but anyone expecting to fight a war without losses is moronic.

      I honestly think that the Iraqi Army in 1991 was a more powerful and professional force than the majority of the Russian forces are in 2023.

      It'll be interesting to see how the Bradley performs against Russia instead of the Iraqi Army, which was largely poorly-trained conscripts equipped with T-62s and BMP-1s... oh wait.

        it will probably get shot at a lot more due to the closer terrain if ukraine actually goes on the attack with it

              well 72 km/h was always its road speed. Its much more like 55-60 km/h off road

                Even that is over the top lmao. You're looking at that speed for sprints between overwatch positions, a Bradley is going to be a few hundred meters back popping shit with its autocannon and looking for spots to drop its dismounts. Like really if the tanks are at the front dealing with things that can kill other tanks the Bradley has no business loitering or worse kicking out its infantry.

                I know what you're saying and I'm not arguing with you anon, just pointing out that the vatnik is moronic.

                the average ifv in 1980 did not have a 30mm

              Of course Bradley's are going to be fricking destroyed in Ukraine, they're not some magic wunderwaffen. There will also definitely be destroyed Leo 1's, 2A4's, probably a few Abrams when they get there... stuff goes wrong in war and it's impossible to keep everything and everyone alive. BUT that being said, all those Western vehicles are going to be leaps and bounds better than their Soviet era counterparts. You at least have a chance of surviving in a piece of NATO equipment instead of absolute certain death in a Soviet piece of shit. And the optics/night vision/thermals in Western equipment are so superior to Soviet shit that you can't even put them in the same ballpark.

              It's going to be a really annoying day when the pictures of the first destroyed Leopard or Bradley comes out of Ukraine because Russia is going to parade it around for months as if it's somehow a sign they're winning while completely ignoring the THOUSANDS of pictures of destroyed Russian equipment.

      When I was in a Mechanized Infantry unit. I brought this up to my Battalion Master Gunner. He told me they have governor's on them for when they're not down range. Similar to the blue screw on a PEQ15 you take out when you deploy for more power. Apparently they can push 40+.

      Personally, fastest my driver ever got us was 39mph (going down a hill lol)

        That applies to Abrams too. They can get up to over 100 km/h on road without the governor. This does of course wear a lot on the tracks and roadwheel bearings.

    All in all it was a good choice not just for capability which is a pretty significant jump to the BMP/BTR variants Ukraine has mostly been using but also because there's a frickload of them so it would be much easier to get replacement vehicles and spare parts. The only downside is really the older thermals. 30mm resistance to the front will be great against Russian light armor.

    Is there any info on what TOW missile they're operating? I don't think the US announcements mentioned what specific type. I know they have the FGM-148C javelin variants which IIRC where late 1990s. The TOW tandem charge and top attack variants are also from around that time period so I'm assuming they are probably being supplied those versions.

      Anon. Good optics and a stable gun platform/ATGM aren't the wonderwaffen you think they are, outside of that it's a pretty mediocre vehicle, if you don't only compare it to only Russian vehicles anyway, but it's an IFV box in tracks so who cares outside of autists like Dennis and Warriortard.

    the bradley could not fulfill the same role a BMP-2 does, it is why nobody really uses it outside of the US, and even in the Ukraine it is kind of a meme

    if i was a crewman i would want to be in a bradley, if i was a commander trying to invade a country i would want a BMP
