          The CIA and British intelligence knew this war was coming with greater than 90% confidence but I don't think even the most optimistic glownigs realized just how rotted-out the Russian military had become. Maybe it's just a cultural disconnect, in the US if you lie and say "I have 20 functional F-16s," eventually someone checks that number.

            That's reviewed daily more than once. MC rates have been instantly visible since forever. They're briefed at every morning and afternoon maintenance meeting and visible all the way up the chain. (So is vehicle status, ground support equipment status and test equipment availability.)

            Woe betide anyone caught lying which there is no incentive to do anyway. Broke jets are completely visible throughout maintenance, Ops and more as parts orders come from global stocks if there are none on hand. FedEx and DHL make the world turn.

        That's just them being dumb to try and wiggle out of them being wrong. Stryker's are also used.

        The US is working on the OMFV to replace the M2 but that is a fair way off. The AMPV which is replacing the M113's as the US APC is literally just a Bradley without the turret.

          M2s will be lighting frickers up across the vast fields of Ukraine. They are not going to bum rush with these, due to the optic and FCS superiority. Russians don't have night optics for their ATGMs. Most of their modern IFVs and Tanks are destroyed or captured.

        Bradley's were weighed down with so much weaponry that enemies thought they were tanks and used tank-level weaponry on them...which was overkill, because they were only lightly armored (with, apparently, aluminum armor to make them light enough to be troop carriers).

        At least that what happened with the earliest iterations. Hopefully newer versions have better armor or a lower profile. We'll see.
        I don't think this is a game-changer like HIMARs or Javelin. Just a replacement for the IFV's the Yooks have already lost.

      Actually this. So far the Russians have made themselves look inept at best. To their merit, they are going against a nation backed by some of the most powerful countries on the planet, so yes they could literally get steamrolled by Bradleys at this point.

        AIR is for taking out powergrids and attacking civilian national assets. this is the only way you win a war of 'conquest', which, this is.

      Thye exaggerated heavily.

      Yes and no. The movie and book it was based on by colonel James Burton has come in for a lot of deserved flak because he is representative of the “Reformers” group. They’re basically a bunch of boomers from the Cold War who thought that the procurement process at the pentagon overly favoured high-tech solutions and that in a real war they’d need “rugged, low-tech” solutions like Russia. It’s full of drama-queens and habitual liars like the late Pierre Sprey, an advisor at the pentagon who greatly exaggerated his role in the development of the F-16 and F-15 in the 70s. He used to do pieces for Russia today putting out a lot of disingenuous points to criticise the F-35 because it allegedly isn’t a good dogfighter (protip; it is actually relatively agile) and somehow he imagined that it’s stealth/radar/sensors/BVR capabilities wouldn’t matter in combat against flankers. There’s some videos on YT about what’s wrong with the pentagon wars - this one is a pretty concise summary: https://youtu.be/gmuVYVREGgE
      >inb4 war thunder and furry.
      Yes, he is a gay, but the points he makes about where the movie twists the truth are generally correct and it’s quite well researched.

      Even so, the Bradley wasn’t perfect. The movie was correct that it’s development cycle was quite protracted, leaving the US without a real IVF until the 80s. There are some persistent issues like the electrical architecture not keeping pace with upgrades to the vehicle that use up energy (especially optics/thermals, FCS, digital display and communications). IIRC, the A2 model does not have an auxiliary power unit, so crews can only use the these systems while the engine is turned off for a limited time. Still much better than the BMP-1/2s the Ukies have, which mostly have none of these things to begin with.

The difference being that the only thing big enough to carry one is an Su-30 and it can only carry a single one while an F-2 can carry four ASM-3As for much better saturation attacks. India is trying to downsize the thing with the NG variant, but in the process massively gimped the performance for a missile still larger than the superior ASM-3.

      The bradley has never engaged a peer enemy. The problem is that it has zero protection against shaped charges except side mounted reactive armor, which is passable against primitive RPG-7s but not against anti tank missiles. In most cases where a bradley is destroyed in ukraine it will not see what is shooting at it, it will go like this, a russian with binouculars 2 km away spots the bradley moving around, a nearby anti tank team takes the shot, the bradley just experiences a missile coming out of nowhere and hitting it.

      Every brand of western IFV suffers from this problem. They arent really combat worthy against a peer enemy, but they are passable for colonial warfare against iron age durkadurkas with akms and rpg-7s. Same with all these wheeled vehicles.

          Congratulations, you just described a basic graft scheme without understanding it. +1 for spotting it, -1 for not understanding what you saw. Intentionally introducing dysfunction in a system and then offering the (for profit) solution is an age old scam tactic of gods chosen people. "Block busting" is a variant of this scheme that was used after introducting the necessary dysfunction with the desegregation and civil rights programs of the 60s. Private schools are another variant of this scheme that profits of the same introduced dysfunction. You see how this game is played now?

            Perhaps the most famous example of this is the conservative "starve the beast" strategy originally developed by the american republican party.
            What you do is increase government spending while cutting revenue as much as possible (typically through massive corporate and high income bracket tax breaks) in order to create dysfunction in government programs and institutions which you then use as an excuse to privatise them and sell them to your freinds/family on the cheap, who buy them wuth the money they saved from the tax cuts

      That just the first batch of Bradleys delivered to the Ukrainians literally outnumbers all BMPTs ever made is merely the cherry on top.

    Okay I know that the Bradley is really good, but what about the Marder and that french wheeled light tank thing?

      Marder is shit but still better than nothing; imagine if the bongs sent some Warriors, it's roughly on par with that. Better thann M113s but that's about it.

      No fricking clue about the frog tonk but the 105mm gun should at least be able to frick with T72s a bit from the side (if they get a chance).

    The thermal imagers on the Bradleys they are receiving are unchanged from the 1980s.
    They aren't actually that special compared to the more modern Russian tanks, Russia has a fairly large number of tanks with second generation thermal imagers at least for the gunner sights.
    Obviously it's still a very useful vehicle, but it's hardly a game changing capability.

      Anon, those tanks are long gone by now. They're using beat up BMPs and rapidly remobilized T-72s that had their optics stripped to maintain the now-junked models.

      M2A2s were all eventually modified to M2A2 ODS or M2A3 standard, therefore they wioll have the optics upgrade package that was rolled out in 2000.

      Virtually useless against mobile armored vehicles. ANd that's before we get into how the Russians ahv erun down their ammo stockpiles and shot out their barrels to the point where they're lucky nowadays to get shells within half a mile of where they're aiming.

          I've seen this new armour, it's a pathetic excuse, utter cope. Not only that but you'd have to be clinically moronic to thinkk vatniks have the logistic resources to have deployed it en masse to the majority of their tanks already, or any time soon for that matter.

    How viable are mechanised night-time operations?
    Everyone keeps jacking off the bradley's optics, could you mount a full nighttime assault with them or is it more like just any small nighttime skirmish will have them absolutely dominate anything Russia has?

        Are we though? The plan laid out for the future of the US military had Penetration brigades which would comprise of Heavy mechanized (Bradley's) to go with the tanks. The Stryker is not replacing them in that role and I expect us to have more 'penetration divisions' and a reduction of leg units (we do not need 5 light IDs in Active duty and only have 3 real armored divisions).

      Painting cross like emblems on your vehicles bugs me. It's a perfect target. If you paint them over the strongest armor that's great, but still.

          What I'm saying it makes it really easy to just line up your sights and nail it. At least put the emblems somewhere less of consequence than right next to the crew. It's basically the same thing as why some urinals had flies etched into them a while back. Move that back to the troop compartment at least. You hit the vehicle it doesn't mean it's toast. You hit either of those crosses in that image and it's scrap. You better bet your ass a gunner will aim at that marking given the chance.

              Is it really that hard to understand homosexual? Having a cross to aim at makes it really fricking easy and they're more likely to fire at that. If your homosexual lover is trying to aim his dick he's aiming it at your anus, not your whole body. Meanwhile with tanks, IFVs, and whatnot the whole thing is the target so you can sometimes manipulate people by giving them a target in a place you'd rather be hit like on your strongest plates or a place where the crew won't die the moment it's penetrated. It's not guaranteed to work but it absolutely can and does. Brain frickery is just as much a weapon as the tank you're applying it to is.

              The fly in the urinal thing was an experiment that basically found you can sort of control where someone aims by giving them a target to shoot at. You can already piss on the majority of a urinal, but people shot the fly.

    Brad can take 30mm fire on the frontal arc fine and is protected from 20mm on the sides. It's NREA packages will resist most light shoulder fired AT weapons too. I wouldn't call that lightly protected. In addition new active protection systems such as iron fist will let it survive literally anything fired at it that didn't come down from on high. The 242 is more then enough to deal with any light armored vehicle such as BMPs and is even capable of harming T72s from the side and rear arcs. TOW is one of the gold standards for heavy anti tank use and to pretend otherwise is folly.

      Honestly its not worth trying to say anything to them. They all got their info from pentagon wars spouting arm generals and straight from the butthole of some russian disinfo spreader. They dont care to listen to any reasonable discussion. Most of it will just boil down to them screeching that a tank can still take one out with its main cannon because its armor is too thin. Like thats a fricking situation they were built to do. Its so fricking silly.
