Why You Can't Mess with the Bradley Fighting Vehicle 

I was planning to book a ticket to usa so i can have beef with a tank till he told me not to

This one made me laugh more than it should have😂😂

Go forward, America! Long live the Nato! Long live freedom! Down with all dictatorships and terrorists all around the world! Best wishes from Germany!

Well don't!

Does it get hot inside those vehicle’s?

This thing is a coffin, but with guns

really..its dumb to assume the russian will be the same with iraqi, and this thing is the same with that APC right?!..well there a lot of wreckage of similar vehicle in there.

@@devatsdb7 Yes, Russians bringing in t-62M after 7000+ military vehicles was lost in 8 months. Now they use infantry only since tanks crews are scared of Javelins.

Russia has new t90m "breakthrough" tanks, they are able to withstand even ATGMs, and they are already fighting in Ukraine, + Russia has its own BMP "terminator" which has proven its effectiveness

Or the russians will just drop a lot of artillery on it.

is it possible to kick out t72 with 25mm gun?

@@user-tw2jq7xs2j yes. Reactive armor attached to t72 gets peeled off by precision fire and sometimes ignites

I heard they break easy, is this true?

@@joek600 you took the words out of my mouth mate....well said...👏👏👏

I was in a Transportation unit that stayed in Khobar Towers the first few weeks there until our trucks arrived at Dammam, and one of the first things we saw was a Bradley on the perimeter around the buildings...it was nice to see it there (the Patriot launcher some distance away came in very handy, too. Good to know those are also going to Ukraine.)

As a former FMC employee , it sure feels good to hear these stories . We worked hard at the San Jose plant to put out a tough vehicle .

lol they compliment really well against an army that does not use sandals for weapons and bradley left the chat.

@@Stockfish1511 well, am I going to listen to guys who served over there and actually relied on the Bradley to save their lives, or some internet d-bag who probably jerks off in his parents basement.

How impressive I find the Bradley is exponentially increased by knowing the absolute shit show that went into producing it and how it was almost a worthless death trap.

Hi

@@Sopheap954 bruh

Hello

And we are very thankful. Slava Ukraini, God Bless America!

the brads are gonna be no use to ukraine, if we can barely maintain them because theyre old and out dated and literally break from sitting still, not to mention snow and ice will defeat them, and the 25 isn't reliable at all, russia will fucking destroy them

Yeah it was also gratifying when the Romans diced...sliced..and crucified Jesus...then gave us the Roman Catholic Church...and the bible...

It was a love/hate for me lol

Yes .. agreed.. but do you think these will be used on chinese mainland ... I can’t see them getting there because massive logistics and supply lines... I also don’t see China on us soil. I do though see them perhaps on Taiwan soil but there is also massive logistics there too, so,don’t think so But I see the Chinese eventually getting their tanks on Aussie soil .. we have vast open spaces. We need to prepare now because you know what, the bastar.d Chinese are creating a diversion .l they won’t try Taiwan yet, it’s a smokescreen, they will cop some military hurt there. So they will go for the big prize , we in Australia first. So we need to get the us to send to our north 100s of Bradleys , ditto,for Abrams tanks and hundreds of F15 jet EX jet fighters which I understand are excellent .. aside from nuclear equipped carriers . So you can’t do that until the physical infrastructure Is there to house them etc etc .. it’s a massive job, but the us must do this work in Aus .. it will cost 100 billion but it would be a big deterrent etc etc I READ THAT DEFENCE EXPERTS SAY THAT CHINA WILL LOOK FOR A WEAK LINK, AND PLACE WHERE THERE IS ROOM AND FOOD ETC. TAIWAN DOESNT PROVIDE THAT .. AND THE TAIWANESE WILL HURT CHINA IN A CONFLICT EXPOSING THEM TO A FRIGHTENING ATTACK FROM THE US WHICH WILL SINK THEM FOREVER ..

@@pragmatist165 The USA will never directly invade China. There is no point just like there is no point to invade Russia although they act like everyone is after them. It's only their governments behavior and military that's the problem. Conscripts aren't exactly professionals.

@@wolfgangjr74 I agree .. it was an emotional comment I made to send 100s of tanks to Taiwan. You'd have to say now though that because of the very large military ' activity' in the South China Sea, the chance of a mistake or a reaction might lead to war. It's becoming an increasingly likely eventuality. The tasks now for the world, in response to China's flagrant belligerence and its predisposition to make enemy after enemy, it's emerging military hubris, is reason for the G7 and other nations to build more deterrents, some of these visible and powerful, eg in Australia's north, and for the world to begin to plan and develop a list of all exports from China, start making products themselves and eventually do what China is doing, holding some nations to mercy and random , eg Australia and weakening very much their economies. Viz strangle China economically.. that will hurt .. but it will hurt China even more .. yes it will take 10 years and it will require extraordinary purpose, resolve and cooperation , but it must be done to send out a powerful message, hurt our friends and together we'll hurt you .. Food security is emerging as a world threat, particularly in China, so massive boycotts of world food exports to China is one of the tasks .But it can't be one or two countries against China, it must be many. We are not far from that point now. China seems extraordinarily confident about its military might now, and that is already a serious threat right now.

@@pragmatist165 Don't take China seriously with their threats on Taiwan. Even they aren't dumb enough to try something dumb like that not to mention they are smart enough to know they will not have the logistics to even start thinking of war with Taiwan. What China wants is stability as that is what keeps the current status-quo and war will most definitely cause enough instability to collapse from internal pressures.

@@pragmatist165 America would come to Australia aid and wipe out anyone trying to harm you guys

Wish we can give you guys A10 warthogs and F-18 super hornets for air power...

Your lung disease is not service related

Yeah. You fired it on women and children, you cowards.

@@mansoor24 and we liked it

What's even more badass is when they get put in a firing bag by remote-laid Russian minefields. You guys never fought a combatant that could fight back, otherwise, you would not be reminiscing about this mobile crematoriom so fondly.

I liked tht comparison you made I drive a cadi

So, Russian towed tanks will be no match for it?

Yeah the M113 is pretty much obsolete, don't know why you keep those.

@@michalandrejmolnar3715 - we don’t

@@Negotea - it is not a Tank Destroyer to start with -it is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle- for providing infantry to M1s the combined arms combat arena- tanks without infantry are vulnerable to infantry hand launched anti tank rockets and artillery and infantry without tanks are vulnerable to the shock, firepower and mobility of tanks- The M2 is primarily the means for the infantry to keep up with the M1 in their combined arms role- the armament of the Bradley is for direct fire support of the deployed infantry- the anti tank rockets and the main guns do give it the capability to defend itself from tanks and to destroy enemy infantry haulers- it avoids contact with tanks seeking to break contact and call for its own tank support or set it up for destruction for the javelins in the hands of the infantry

@@jimmy0999 Didn't have transmission issues. Just a bit low on power

They put ERA on it, like with the T-72, T-64 and T-80.

@@michalandrejmolnar3715 Funny how ERA hasn't helped much with top attack fires like Javelin

How so? And which part of the vehicle was most prone to breaking?

Answer me what parts did it break? I could maybe wait like 1 day till the Bradley breaks down

This makes more sense after I watched a vid on the calamity of how the thing came about. Feel for whoever has to fix it. Or fight in it.

The fuel distribution pump is one of the things that breaks the most and is a bitch and a half to replace. The electronic are extremely picky on the battery power level, the seal on the generator breaks constantly causing a mess in the engine bay. The CIV is super delicate even tho it's one of the things that will get hit first since is popping out on top. I would go on but I have a life to love.

Oh it'll shoot, unless a grunt timed the gun wrong. Or the master gunner takes a tanker bar to the receiver and fucks the mounting rails.

Actually the fire control system is modern and intuitive, the gun is so accurate that even a kid with PlayStation joystick experience can hit long range targets after a couple of days training.

Those were cool , they never should have eliminated them .

@@TheGhostOfMichaelJackson huh? What do you mean? It's not meant to do that?

TOWs are bad ass, the wires left across the area, not so much

No... it's not a fire and forget missile.. You have to keep the crosshairs on the target until impact... I was a TOW Dragon missile repairman... I was often on range as to support range qualifications... Often, soldiers would move their heads to see the explosion (by ground mount versions) to totally miss the targets... Expensive mistakes...

@@nicolaasjonkhart4660 I feel like tanks are only relevant against nations that dont have them or have laughably outdated ones.

That was then, this is now. While the army has upgraded the chassis extensively, its weapons system are in dire need of a upgrade The 50mm XM913 and new long range missile capable of engage targets over 10 miles away is must Russia T-15 can be equipped with 57mm cannon while China ZBD-10 carries the HJ-10 missile. The 50mm cannon and longer range missile would give Bradley perfect balace

Remember when you need a tank. You need a tank. It's the most heavily armored and has the most firepower of anything else on the battlefield.

@@nicolaasjonkhart4660 There is thing called variants Just as the Stryker MGS is variant of the Stryker IFV/AFV The M3 Bradley CFV is variant that carries TOWs in the storage instead of troops They can make heavy gun carrier variant of the Bradley Just like the M3

@Tim Burm1 by far most wehrmacht soldiers didnt do anything wrong. Just on the wrong side of the war. It was mostly the elite and the SS fanatics

Nice try Ali ( are you related to Comical ?).

Did you know that Bradleys and Abrams tanks got their asses blown up by dudes in sandals, in Yemen. Also the Abrams is so ridiculously heavy and needs a ridicules amount of actual jet fuel to function, most countries don't even want it. Not to mention Abrams' engine exhaust is hot, around 1000 degrees Celsius, that means any crappy heat seeking rocket will always find it's target.

@@dopecat4012... did you know that the bradley and HMMWV also run on jet fuel. lol

@@brianthompson9485 Really? Is it because jet fuel is less flammable?

@@dopecat4012 Most equipment and vehicles the military has runs on JP-8. It's mostly for logistical reasons. Trucking and flying a bunch a different fuels into a conflict area would be a logistical nightmare.

That is kind of the point at NTC. Getting vehicles that cause problems which units have to fix. Adds more realism to training as well as another layer of adversity to overcome. We had Bradleys catch on fire. One burnt to the ground which was cool to see. Our cranks worked round the clock and they managed to keep us up and going.
