    Bradleys with modern optics and TOWs will frick up unsupported tanks. They did it in desert storm and they'll do it again.

    The guns will also do great against infantry, trenches and APCs. The autocannon will go through walls and the M240 will kill infantry. Both can be queued with thermals.

      Still engaging tanks while your squad is buttoned up is moronic.

      I also think APCs and IFVs with easy access roof hatches for the squad are better because they can use their own rifles more easily to protect against an ambush or ride on the roof in a potentially mined area.

        anon, you're moronic. It was never meant to engage tanks with infantry inside, they are supposed to be dismounted well before contact with armor.

    How does the night-vision on Russian tanks compare to that found on Bradleys?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Nevermind, did a bit of digging myself, it seems the Bradley's night-vision range is further than that of the TOWs it fires (TOW range = 3.75 km); whilst the night-vision found on the T-90 and T80U can only identify targets up to 3.24 km.

      Absolute trash, when it's still actually there IRL not just there on paper having been stolen or broken years/decades earlier. And of course, the Russians have crap general surveillance too. Or, like, fricking comms. The Bradleys will be tied into proper infantry/scout, aerial and orbital surveillance. Which isn't supposed to be anything special but it is vs the Russians.

        those are not sexy compared to tanks and fighters. A new tank or gun can be seen and touched, but advancing communications systems, launching advanced spy satellites, developing software for fire controls etc, all that shit don't really "wow" the general populace.

      It depends which Bradley and which Russian tanks.
      Russia's modernized tank force (modernised T-72B3, T-80BVM, T-90A) have the French second gen thermal imagers for the gunner but they are at best 1/3 of Russia's current tank force, and the rest have no thermals at all afaik.
      The super rare T-90Ms have independent thermal sights for the commander as well I believe.

      The M2 to M2A2 Bradley have 1st gen thermal imager for the gunner (the original from the 1980s)
      The M2A3 from the 2000s is modernized with 2nd gen for the gunner and independent 2nd gen for the commander.
      So far word of mouth is that the Ukrainians will receive M2A2 ODS, which don't have the upgraded optics package, but we likely won't know for sure until we see pictures.

    The optics on the vehicle is better than anything the russians have. Its a good vehicle for reconnaissance and infantry support. Along with having weapons that can deal with armor or infantry. The most important thing about the Bradley is that it can spot the enemy and provide fire support. It can spot enemy MBTs before the MBT spots them.

    The movie had a point about how irrational US military procurement can be.
    But in their stupidity they accidentally obtained a vehicle that isn't bad at all.
    Tank are obsolete against modern army, but you'll find plenty of people here who will insist you "need" a old-school heavily armored tank.

      the film doesn't even get the procurement part right
      the army wanted an IFV with a turret and at least a 20mm gun from the start. The idea that they wanted an M113 when they already HAD the m113 is fricking laughable

      Tanks will never become obsolete because
      1) You will always need heavy direct-fire guns, and you cant mount such and their ammo on a small platform
      2) If you put it on an unarmoured chassis you're going to get fricked by any stray mortar or artillery shell, or one dinky 40mm grenade

      performance against other tanks or anti-tank weapons isnt even relevant, just like the performance of paratroopers against tanks isnt.

        Time and technology march on and this was not the direct fire we needed much as precision fire and direct was at the time the only way to get it before but modern non-soviet-shit cannon can reach that precision with indirect fire as long as GPS or a pseudolite system works.
        The US was seriously considering replacing the Abram by indirect fire capable lighter tank, in the end they extended it's lifetime, made Stryker like the French wheeled gun and now work on the mysterious DLP project.

        Saying tank won't be obsolete is like saying current MBT operate the same way as WWII tank.

    didn't bradleys get a considerable amount of T-72 kills during desert storm?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Yes.

      The long story is basically that the air war completely destroyed the Iraqi command and control network. The Iraqi government, even if it was capable of figuring out where American units were, was unable to communicate this effectively to Iraqi units. As a result, most battles were ones where the Iraqis were on the defensive (so the Americans could pick where and when to attack), or meeting engagements (both sides advancing/one retreating, generally the Americans knew the Iraqis were there but not vice versa).

      The looonnnggg distances involved generally meant the US could engage at night, or with thermals, far beyond the effective range of Iraqi units. Even though Iraqi tanks could absolutely kill Bradleys or similar at several km, they simply could not see the Americans at that range most of the time. Add in dust storms and you'd get battles where the Americans would pop out of nowhere, destroy several T-72s (generally including the command tank lmao), and the Iraqis would shit themselves and run away.

      As for Bradleys, they had TOWs and their autocannons. The autocannons were capable of destroying anything lighter than a tank (and did so), and the TOWs would wreck tanks at distances pretty close to what an M1 was capable of. IIRC a lot of the stated "kills" of Bradleys are a bit sketchy because there were a lot of engagements where the Abrams and Bradleys would engage simultaneously, but yes, the Bradley is more than capable of killing tanks in that environment just as well as an MBT.

      It'd be different in Ukraine since you have shorter distances (making enemy ATGM use more likely), better defensive positions (Kornets will kill a Bradley dead if used correctly), and less maneuver warfare. But still, a Bradley vs a T-72 in a meeting engagement at night will result in cyka and/or blyat.

      IMO it's the right move. Give the capable but less supply consuming vehicles over now, once the maneuver war starts give the MBTs.

    You do realize even in the fictional rendering of the events surrounding the Bradley as depicted in this film, the Bradley ended up as an effective combat vehicle (just instead of it happening naturally as it did IRL despite Burton's constant inference, it happened BECAUSE of Burton's interference) right?
    To say nothing of the endless testaments that likely exist of the Bradley in the field during the Gulf conflict that all point to the Bradley being a superbly effective AFV. What I'm saying is you're an idiot. who is just repeating garbage from a movie that is likely older than you are.
