Another American disgrace: BMP M-2 "Bradley" in Saudi Arabia in battles burn like matches

Americans still rate their BMD M-2 "Bradley" as the best in the world. In fact, the opinions of various military countries are fundamentally at odds with what overseas propaganda is trying to impress. In fact, in the 35 years of being in service, despite all the attempts of the Pentagon, it was not possible to sell this fighting machine to one of its allies. She dared to buy only in Saudi Arabia. And then - as a sign of gratitude for the protection of the kingdom against the alleged invasion of Saddam Hussein's troops.

During the fighting in Kuwait and Iraq in 1991, the US Army lost two dozen Bradley. The American crews tried to hit the enemy armored vehicles from ATGM TOU at the maximum possible range, but when, for various reasons, the M-2 were too close to the enemy, they began to suffer losses not only from tanks T-55 or BMP-1, but even from heavy machine guns DShK. True, it is still claimed that most of the losses occurred due to the so-called "friendly fire".

If we talk about the loss of the BMP M-2 during the aggression in Iraq in 2003, the data here is different. It was reported that in two years the Americans lost there from 50 to 150 of such machines. In any case, faced with the fact that "Bradley" is absolutely not adapted to the conditions of the war with the guerrillas, the command of the occupying troops was forced to reduce the use of BMP data to a minimum. And emphasis was placed on the use of explosion-proof armored vehicles.

It was mentioned above that Saudi Arabia was the only country that purchased these BMPs. A total of about Bradley 400 was acquired. Last year, the royal M2 took part in the battles. And again, not entirely successful. In a relatively short period, 5 machines were destroyed. In this case, the Saudi BMP after the defeat of anti-tank funds lit up like a match. According to military experts, in fact, the loss of the Saudis in the BMP is much greater. Just not everything becomes public.

The US military is now frantically searching for what to replace this "best BMP" in the world. At one time, they were looking at Israeli armored “Namer” and Swedish CV9035 infantry fighting vehicles, in the framework of the GCV program they tried to start developing 84-ton (!) BMP. But in the coming years, the replacement of the BMP M-2 "Bradley" is not expected.

What can not but rejoice on Sunday morning

We call it "bearish (not to be confused with Medvedev's !!!) service" or "American aid"

[wanderer_]

"American aid" is also in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Armed Forces complained that armored vehicles with plastic windows came or how Parashka took "Hummers" without turrets ... God be with you ...

[Cap.Morgan]

In my opinion with plastic doors.
Well, they thought that the new Gelendvagens would push them?

That would then "drive" them to someone. Americans are stupid, but not so ...

[Sweles]

Americans still rate their M-2 "Bradley" BMP as the best in the world.

an example of inflated false conceit, even Arabs' friends prefer BMP3 to this nonsense ...

[Dembel77]

Well what do you want - DShK. And the "Kord" bullet of the B-32 cartridge pierces 20 mm of steel from 100 m, and the bullet of the BS and BS-41 cartridges does the same from a distance of 750 m.

[shasherin.pavel]

Quote: Dembel 77

Well, what do you want - DShK.

I, too, would treat the DShK with great respect, this is a "machine" for breaking through armor, and not some kind of pukalka. Maybe, according to modern concepts, it is heavy, the recoil is not frail, but put goals on all this, she only feels that a full pi ... t has flown to her.

[Dr. Mike]

Arabs buy what is cheaper, all the more so almost always for free, since Russia will write off debts ... and those Arabs who are richer in buying the best are in the USA.

[vodolaz]

The Germans didn’t refuse the Leopards either, no matter how much the Americans pressed. Especially considering the fact that the Leopards are superior to the Abrams in everything. Americans often impose their weapons.

[gladcu2]

vodolaz

Intrusive partners. Impose everything. And weapons and ideology and defense services. Like a gopnik, buy a brick.
Hence the forms of neighborhood and dialogue.

But nevertheless, and in general on the article. Respect for the US Army is not worth it. Even if Bradley showed a number of weak points, apply tactics. They have no restriction; they limit it. And if you do not succeed, and to hell with it.

[Foxmara]

exactly. and by the way, BMP with its armor and should not hold any anti-tank or any other means except machine-gun and machine-gun fire. A heavy machine gun, and sometimes an SVD, pierces its armor. So its penetration is not a reason to rejoice, it should generally be. Now, if the Yankees sold other interesting cars to Ukraine that could not be overcome by a small lift, it was funny.

[albezdelev]

And also our armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles are swimming, and not bad can swim across a bunker of 200-2000 meters, and maybe even hit the bridge guard together with the dropped landing force. But the reservation is bulletproof and if you shun the heel of a dunger from above, then the driver’s mechanic can go outside through a water cannon (just kidding)

[Dr. Mike]

And what? Pressed hard? Is there a proof?
And who told you that Abrams is worse?

[Dr. Mike]

Just the joy of another stuffing.
No need to think, and already happy.

[blizart]

I’m like a Russian military man, but having spent all my life with Russian weapons, I’ll say that this may be a little off topic: Now many people are worried about ousting Russia from regions that are already critically important for it. No matter how it sounds to anyone, make your weapon and arm everyone who needs it. To see all the labels On, Off, Turn right, Check the operation of the BTSN, etc. The Kazakh army has been pushing for decades to move to its native language and in everyday life it has almost worked out, but how it comes to the language of technical characteristics, reports, reports. Everything! The most stubborn lover of the uniqueness of a nomadic civilization is forced to admit that his free vital activity did not work out - dry, not allowing a double interpretation of speech. A word of honor every day I watch their attempts to convey on their own, simple army concepts: to concentrate, to advance. What am I doing? Everyone who fights with reliable Russian weapons always remembers this word, affectionately remembered in a different way - Rus. And then tell me how to relate to it if it saves your life?

In no case do I want to offend neither Kazakhs nor anyone else, but in your words I see confirmation of philologists not only of the uniqueness of the Russian language (any Slavophil can assert without bothering with research) but also that the language is closer to the "original" language. This means richer and more functional languages ​​that have become poorer due to many centuries of "simplification" (I would say primitivization, degradation). Note to lovers of all sorts of "Ok" ... ("norms", and other other bottles of lemonade ... sorry cola).

[shasherin.pavel]

In the Chernihiv military registration and enlistment office, in front of my eyes, the "rukhovets" tried to connect colleagues at work to the translation of the word "bomb shelter". I whinnied softly in the bosom.

[iouris]

To build a state, you need to create a state language - a special language that is spoken by professionals. I think it takes 200-300 years to do this. Not every state has so much time. In Kazakhstan, the Russian language is (almost) a second state language. Stupid managers have saved it for use as a special language.
Another example is Ukraine. Despite all the political attempts, ukroarmiya speaks Russian. Explain to you why? Because all charters and instructions are written in Russian. No, not in the language "she", but in the state Russian language, the language of the state, which is at least three hundred years old.

[shasherin.pavel]

Actually, this kind of propaganda really, really affects the minds, I had to bring a reference book of WWII tanks to work and show in photographs how the SU-100 and SPG-152 look like. Players in "Tanks" stubbornly believed that the SU-100 has a speed of up to 35 km, while ISU and ACS-152 run up to 55 km. If you show them that "Bradley" T-72s hit from a kilometer away, they will believe it too.

Yes, in the Second World War the Germans had good tanks, better than ours ... on paper. The same Panther, but ... can anyone tell me how she showed herself then? She didn’t show anything, she just broke down often. Also the Tigers, it was very difficult to repair them in the field. The tank history of the Second World War shows. which is won not by the one whose tank performance is better, but whose tank is more reliable, cheaper and more repairable. A powerful weapon and good armor is easier to achieve than to make the same tank cheaper and more reliable.

If the conversion is made in rubles into Deutschmarks, then instead of one Tiger, you can release three T-34-85s from the factory, and if you also take into account that Tigers could not be transported on ordinary platforms, but only on special platforms in eight axes, and they also needed spare transport tracks weighing six tons (in total), and taking into account the repairs after two days of fighting, I quietly neigh in the bosom. How can you release them in the thousands with such costs. And already, about the Royal Tiger, I generally ... just write in my pants, and it's not so funny. Of course, they were monsters on the field ... but how to deliver them to this field. I remember the phrase of the German general: "Tigers" were good wherever they could be delivered ".

Spherical tanks in a vacuum. You should not focus not on potatoes, not on a soap factory. Even a very realistic ARMA (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmA_2) is not the best way to compare the technique.

Omar Nelson Bradley (born Omar Nelson Bradley; February 12, 1893, Clark, Missouri - April 8, 1981, New York, New York) - American military commander, Army General (September 20, 1950), one of the main commanders of the US Army in the North Africa and Europe during the Second World War. After the war, he served as chief of the General Staff of the army; in 1949 became the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States. The last (and currently) American military commander who had the rank of army general (5 stars), and the only one to whom this rank was awarded after the end of World War II.

[yehat]

Americans even have a movie about what kind of curiosity a car represents and they perfectly understand its disadvantages.

[corporal]

Saudi BMPs after being defeated by anti-tank weapons light up like matches.
So any infantry fighting vehicles burn like matches, ours blaze just as brightly.

looked closely at the Israeli armored vehicles "Namer" ........... in the framework of the GCV program tried to start developing 84-ton (!) BMP.
So they began to think about heavy infantry fighting vehicles.

[tchoni]

Something hurray-sweat intensified. Either the F-35 is not the same, the Bradley is not the same and burns often ... You might think our armored personnel carriers, bmd and BMP burned out a little all over the world.
And the conclusion of the article should be as follows: "Nehren to rivet any low-security crap like" Kurganets "for the front edge ... Armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles should fight there exclusively on a tank chassis and with tank armor. And for the rear, mids are ideal." well that's it. Indignantly unfounded cons poured in.

[Cap.Morgan]

An infantry fighting vehicle on a tank chassis with tank armor is called a tank.
Armored personnel carriers serve for other purposes, and not for the assault on fortified bands. It is rather armored trucks, scouts, escorts ...

[tchoni]

No, dear. As soon as an airborne landing appears in it, it is already an infantry transporter. In fact. And not according to different nomenclatures there. And his task is the same as that of an armored personnel carrier - to take out infantry under conditions of enemy fire at the line of combat use. And evacuate under the same conditions. And also, to provide ammunition, etc.
A tank is a tank. His task is to fire at the enemy.

[yehat]

about the tank: not only fire, moral, too,
as well as providing the potential to quickly advance an attack.

[Vadim237]

Our infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers from burning from RPGs will burn even better, Bradley has at least dynamic protection and mounted armor, unlike ours - which are completely bare.

[VP]

Burn the same.
But our BMPs have a lower silhouette, higher mobility and less pathos

[Vadim237]

To the height of infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers - modern ATGM in general on the drum.

[cast iron]

Stupid children don't give a damn about it. And the ATGM missile is guided along the silhouette. The smaller the silhouette, the harder it is to aim, Karl.

[lysyj bob]

"The smaller the silhouette, the harder it is to keep in sight."
Absolutely right. Some well-known tank creators said that the best defense for a tank is when a projectile flies past.
And if you need to dig in? How long will it take for the crew to excavate the foundation pit for their cruiser? I will not argue that our machines are ideal, but here is a historical example: in the late 60s, the a-kanians got a trophy "kopeck", decided to conduct a training battle, but because ... They did not have such machines, they put up the M-48 against it, the test result - with the A-kan crew, the "kopeck" won 8 battles out of 10. I myself have operated "deuces". My last car was made in Czechoslovakia. The car is excellent if you know how to use it. And about "Bradley" I will say this: PR should be less.

[lysyj bob]

PS
“In Yemen, BMP-3s operated in conjunction with Leclerc tanks. They confidently hit the identified targets, both day and night, using thermal imaging sights "Namut". Once again, the advantages of the armament unit, consisting of 100-mm and 30-mm cannons, as well as a 7,62-mm machine gun were demonstrated. The highest marks were awarded to the active deployment of the landing. The cars moved confidently on the sands, they had no problems with engine overheating, ”the author writes.
The fighting in Yemen confirmed the reliability of the BMP-3
During the entire operation, only one BMP was irretrievably lost.

[cast iron]

The level of combat losses is primarily tactics, strategy and organization in the troops. BMP-3 armored is not something super outstanding. It is not much superior to the cardboard BMP-2 in this regard.

[zaboyschik]

Do not say nonsense, for bearded with RPG or DShK dimensions are of great importance, I tell you this as a practitioner. And for the ATGMs of previous generations as well. And the main use of these infantry fighting vehicles so far is against such a contingent.

[yehat]

as well as the thickness of the armor ...
however, I do not like the imposition of lightly armored infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers as the only choice
how many cars suffered from commonplace small arms fire, well-protected infantry vehicles should have appeared long ago. It is important not to rush to extremes and bear the costs of a harmonious combination of DIFFERENT machines.

[tchoni]

And the armor is thinner ... And the tanks are right next to the landing force (these are 1ka and 2ka) and the 100mm landmines are placed directly in the landing force (this is three) ... And the difficulty of leaving the landing is the armored personnel carrier. And screams that our armored vehicles are the most correct in the world :-)
All pieces of iron stand each other :-)

[dzeredzavkomimu]

and there a tall black man gets up to his full height and drinks coffee, you first have to get into ours, but you don’t need to aim in this box

[tchoni]

Just look at the number of hits in our boxes and make a conclusion about whether the envelope saves from RPGs and birds.
Dimension seriously affects the survival of armored vehicles only if the enemy is a small-form artillery with direct fire.
And that is not always ...

[zaboyschik]

Have you tried to get from an RPG on a flying BMP 2? And I tried, if our technique was the size of Bradley, there would be much more hits. What kind of statistics are these? "Look at the number of hits" where to look and how to compare? Is there a conflict or comparative test? And many times I wanted our cans to be higher, it's really hard to hit.

[tchoni]

From the experience of shooting at the Shteites, the main misses are due to an error in determining the speed and incorrect lead, and not because of a range error. So when shooting at a moving infantry fighting vehicle, the length is critical, not the height of the object.
By the way, where did you manage to gain experience shooting at our infantry fighting vehicles in commodity quantities?
And yet, if you look at the latest domestic armored vehicles, you will see that it has grown a little in size and added to the defense (I'm talking about armature and kurgan). Moreover, the Kurgan is built on the Bradley ideology.

[cast iron]

Kurgan turned out to be so high in many respects because of more serious protection against mines. Plus, you absolutely did not take into account that the combat module in our new armored vehicles is UNABILABLE. So the height should be considered exactly to the roof of the body, and not the tower. The same thing with the Armata tank. Our designers played precisely on this - exchanged the inhabited tower for slightly higher ceilings in the fighting compartment.
By the way, the new Kurgan is BELOW Bradley anyway. And it is visible.
About the speed. You didn’t take into account at all that in addition to PT means there are also OFS fragments from artifacts. The larger the profile of the target, the more OFS of fragments it perforates.

[tchoni]

What you are saying is all the details .. On the same Bradley you can lightly put the DBM ... I'm talking about the general layout and ideology of the machine. Both Kurganets and Bradley are the result of taking into account the experience of using lightly protected vehicles in combat. For amers, this is primarily the M-113 for us, this is the BMP family - 1,2. At the same time, practice has shown the need to strengthen protection. The cameras, as more sensitive to personnel losses, came to this a little earlier. We - a little later, and tried to go our own way, adopting the BMP-3, which, being in its very outstanding vehicle, turned out to be rather a light tank than infantry transporters.
To replace her and others BMP and Kurganets is called to come.
And as for the protection against fragments and taking into account the height of the tower - well, it is very similar to the cries of Ukrainians on the censor: the Kurgan tower is uninhabited, its height is unreadable ...

[tchoni]

And yet, how does speed affect damage from shell fragments?

[zaboyschik]

My place of residence is a village in 17 km from Debaltseve, now working in the Russian Federation. On the 15000 militia four mouths you don’t really feed. In fairness, not RPG-7 but RPG-26, but the principle is the same. That will give uram Bradley then compare. Although unlikely.

[tchoni]

That is yes. It is unlikely that Ukrainians will give Bradley. This device is for those who can pay. For them, the current written-off measurements ...

I saw in the 95th BTR-80 with the 8th (eight Carl) !! hits from RPG and Ptur and he was driving !!!

This proves that size is in no way a determining factor in the lethality of armored vehicles .. Here is an armored personnel carrier .. Orthodox, ideologically consistent "nesarai" and it contains 8 hits.

it was exactly on paper but forgot about the ravines .. in war there is always a mess and no one ever thinks - there is armor - go !!

[tchoni]

I agree with this, that’s why armor should be armor, not paper ...

[yehat]

for armor to be armor, the army must have experience like the Red Army in the 45th
this is more important than the thickness of the armor, millimeters of the caliber of the gun or silhouette
the Germans defeated our KV-1s at TIII, our Panthers defeated at T70.
Once again, you run the risk of getting into a mistake by discussing TTX only.
Do you think ours could not make a megabronded monster for infantry 50 years ago? Yes Easy! But it was necessary to put on wheels not a battalion, but several divisions and drive far from the most pleasant terrain. And so the BMP appeared, not the Israeli intention. To understand what we could do, do not be lazy and drive into Kubinka, see dozens of cars. I was particularly struck by this machine and its performance characteristics

Is the silhouette tall? Well, the sense of the low silhouette if modern complexes can get into the rubik's cube.

[cast iron]

They will not be able to get into the low silet hidden in the terrain. The larger the silhouette. the harder it is to hide it.

[dzeredzavkomimu]

I saw a video from Syria like ..hammer .. from a shot from ..tou .. literally drove forward five meters and the rocket flew by, so don’t make people laugh about the rubik’s cube, where did you see modern complexes in the battle runner? maximum RPG, but the fact that the barn is an advantage in general I do not want to comment on this nonsense

[Saints]

As mentioned above, modern anti-tank weapons height does not play a big role. Although of course the barn is still one

[cast iron]

Specify what "modern" means are you talking about? As far as I remember, all modern ATGMs of the TOW type or our analogs are controlled by wires or infrared / laser channel, while their missiles are NOT SELF-PRODUCING. This means that the silhouette of the target must be kept in the sight.

[cast iron]

The armor is not the same. Bradley is protected in a circle from 12,7mm from 100 meters. BMP3 and especially BMP2 can’t boast of such armor. They have it more differentiated. Those. standing ambush with DShK in the bushes from the side - this is deadly for our BMP2 and BMP3 (unshielded).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq4GJ2oKSDk

BMP, which is not suitable for transporting soldiers.
A reconnaissance vehicle that is too visible to conduct reconnaissance.
An unfinished tank, whose armor is thinner than that of a snow blower.
But at the same time with weapons sufficient to smash half the state

[Reeds]

You will remember how the Americans praised the Abramas and how this tank was carried out in Iraq.
And there is nothing new here, if the Pentagon is confident in its "the best combat vehicles in the world", then the people who directly use them in hostilities have no illusions. And what they are now frantically looking for, well, God help, there is simply a question, but will they not find a similar "object" like "Bradley"

[jurgen2206]

However, there is one but! According to them, with all the "handed out" abrashkas, the dead tankers during the entire campaign in Iraq was ... attention ... one! And even when they got into the ammunition, there were wounded, not killed. There is something to think about, right?

Well, why did you attack the "tank killer" because recently there was an article about how BREDLY killed "ABRAMS" from a 20 mm cannon

[KBR109]

This BMP 20mm cannon was never equipped. Only 25mm M242 "Bushmaster".

[kenig1]

In a lateral projection, in the engine area it is easy to kill.

[Forest]

Firstly, the 25-mm gun, and secondly, the Bushmeister BOPS has about 100 mm penetration at 1 km, so Abrams's feed in 25-40 mm from a short distance is not an obstacle.

Any infantry fighting vehicle or armored personnel carrier is easily affected by grenade launchers and ATGMs, their tank guns are easily carried into the trash.

What did you want? Lightweight BBM cannot have super-duper protection, and weapons! BTR80 at close range armor-piercing 5,45 flashes. I myself saw personally, a neat little hole from the core of the bullet, through. Another question is about the tactics of using such machines in battle, and the third question is about overall dimensions! Well, Bradley's too healthy!
Dream grenade launcher!
And yet, the KPVT can unravel everything! This is an axiom! With a different effect, but that's it! Any snoring, BMP and armored personnel carriers. Shave any tank until you lose combat capability! And there is ZSUShka, and Shilka! More of those chip makers!

KPVT ??? Unless, of course, the tank will quietly stand on the site without a crew ... Bradley will not take KPVT head-on, all the same, when the Yankees were developing this box, KPVT was taken into account as the main threat factor. But the 25mm "bushmaster" will pierce through any carrier of KPVT and ZU-23.

Maybe he won't, but he will be "licked" to the main armor, and they will lick everything from him, except for the mechanical sight (if any) of the 25 mm "bushmaster" cannon, then let them try to find and hit the KPVT and ZU carriers -23, especially the last one.

Well, if the KPVT cartridge is from PTR, then for those tasks the anti-tank rifle pierced 40 mm of armor at a distance of 200 m with a slope of 60 g. Bradley lobovuha 20 mm, so I think the KPVT still pierces the forehead .. Bradley .. at least how

[BV330]

With all due respect to the technical specifications of PTR 40mm / 60grad / 200metrov - this is fantastic.
The VYA-23 gun, it is also on Shilka - pierced 25mm / 400 meters with an armor-piercing gun.

Dear, since all armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles are infantry support vehicles, and not attack equipment. They should always follow the infantry at some distance and use their artillery and machine guns to crush fire weapons that are not available to the infantry.

- 300 heavy armored personnel carrier "Ahzarit";
- 400 heavy BRDM "Nagmakhon";
- several dozen heavy armored personnel carriers "Nakpadon";
- 400 heavy engineering assault vehicles "Puma";
- 3000 BTR M113 "Bardelas".

I must say right - absolute ZERO.
You will certainly say that the armored personnel carrier is not a BMP. But then it will be like a joke - one of yours gets a job as an accountant, he is asked a question - how many will be two and two, he will answer, and how much is needed?

"Whom do you want to mislead? Growing schoolchildren or professional military men?" ////

Both younger students and professional military can look into Google
and see that all of the machines you listed have only machine-gun weapons ...


This is strictly - armored personnel carriers, not infantry fighting vehicles. They do NOT move
behind the infantry, supporting it with fire. For this, we use exclusively tanks and only tanks.

[rfv0304]

And I believe that Military Review is not working correctly with us. Knowing that these BMPs (the Pentagon's mass grave) or any other type of military equipment from the Americans are obviously bad, we must praise it, looking for positive points. Let ours try to do all military equipment in THREE orders better than theirs. And let the US rest assured that their army is the best. You have to be a little trickier!

You can knock out and set fire to any technique, and "Bradley" is no exception. T-34s were also on fire, so what?

No one T-34 was positioned as the best tank in the world - he proved it himself. And in the cost of Bradley percent 50 RP expenses.

Again, the substitution of concepts, for 41-42 years, when the Wehrmacht did not yet have heavily armored monsters from 40 tons, the T-34 was the best tank.

Why upset a single and irreplaceable nation, Bradley is the best and point, it’s easier for us to fight

[Chaos]

Our BMP, BMD, tanks are the best in the world! )))

[Radical]

It was mentioned above that Saudi Arabia was the only country that purchased these BMPs. A total of about Bradley 400 was acquired. Last year, the royal M2 took part in the battles. And again, not entirely successful. In a relatively short period, 5 machines were destroyed. In this case, the Saudi BMP after the defeat of anti-tank funds lit up like a match. According to military experts, in fact, the loss of the Saudis in the BMP is much greater. Just not everything becomes public.

Nothing is impossible for RPG-7V (and also "Vampire" and "Cornet")!

[Seraphimamur]

Any technique can be knocked out and it will burn because if someone does not know, it drives a solarium. And for this reason, the BC may also explode. But before the above-described case happens, you need to get into this technique and preferably into a vulnerable spot. This is what the article is about. BMP "Bradley" is highly vulnerable that does not correspond to its tales of American propaganda. My opinion is the technique of amerikosov for the parade and show-off and not for the war.

[Monetniy]

Silhouette bmp armata I think it will not be lower than Bradley or am I mistaken?

[cast iron]

Wrong.

[Agrokotik1989]

Call me a bmp that is designed to hit ptur. Well, the title of the article hints at a weak sketch. Who watched YouTube - saw that the main losses were just abandoned wrecked equipment, which is then set on fire by the camera.

Not very much like setting fire to old technology. But maybe you yourself set it on fire, since you are so sure of it?

[Snow]

It’s joyful of course that the Americans are so dumb, and we have so good, but somehow it’s strange. Especially when you consider that their army is constantly fighting, equipment in the total mass is newer, etc.

[Pissarro]

Where is their army fighting? Where is the meager result? Unless Kosovo was depressed, and not as a result of a military victory, but by taking Milosevic to the pontoon. In Afghanistan, a complete failure from the Taliban, Iraq was essentially a vassal of Iran, the mythical bombing of ISIS and all in the same vein. We have three specific results - pacified Chechnya , independent Abkhazia with Ossetia and Crimea. And a beautiful operation in Syria. What do they have?

Looks like soon we will see "" the best BMP "in the world" "in Ukraine, where they will light up the local farms with a bright flame!

[kapitan92]

..... BMP - tracked combat vehicle with powerful weapons, armor protection, with high maneuverability. Designed to increase mobility, armament and security of motorized rifle units operating on the battlefield ......
The BMP has its purpose! Under this purpose, weapons, armor protection, etc. are selected.
Is Bradley on? So what? Let's remember Afghan, Chechnya, and our BMP-1, BMP-2 did not burn? Or maybe the vaunted Merkabas 4 did not burn in the 2nd Lebanese? Or maybe the advertised Abrams didn't burn in Iraq?
Different fears have their own design concepts for infantry fighting vehicles: we "reduce" the silhouette and increase the speed, and they increase the armor protection and engine power. I will not list all aspects.
I think the main thing is to tactically correctly use the BMP, as well as anti-tank weapons.

Quote: Magic Archer

Here is a photo for comparing the size of the vehicles. There is a BMD but it differs little in height from the BMP. Bradley is clearly easier to get into

I think the photo was taken in Serbia. Where else could these two cars be side by side?)

[cast iron]

The BMD still differs in height from the BMP. Moreover, the BMD also has variable ground clearance, EMNIP in 3-4 positions. From here you can change the height.

[Alfizik]

Everyone is wrong! The Americans made their own infantry fighting vehicles to drop them from airplanes onto enemy concentrations. The Saudis simply did not understand the documentation.

Quote: blizart

I’m like a Russian military man, but having spent all my life with Russian weapons, I’ll say that this may be a little off topic: Now many people are worried about ousting Russia from regions that are already critically important for it. No matter how it sounds to anyone, make your weapon and arm everyone who needs it. To see all the labels On, Off, Turn right, Check the operation of the BTSN, etc. The Kazakh army has been pushing for decades to move to its native language and in everyday life it has almost worked out, but how it comes to the language of technical characteristics, reports, reports. Everything! The most stubborn lover of the uniqueness of a nomadic civilization is forced to admit that his free vital activity did not work out - dry, not allowing a double interpretation of speech. A word of honor every day I watch their attempts to convey on their own, simple army concepts: to concentrate, to advance. What am I doing? Everyone who fights with reliable Russian weapons always remembers this word, affectionately remembered in a different way - Rus. And then tell me how to relate to it if it saves your life?

So at first the USSR filled all the “brotherly peoples” with free weapons, then after the collapse how many weapons did the “brotherly peoples” have left? No thanks from anyone. In Syria they say thank you, while the Russians are fighting there, tomorrow they may not remember, such is the Arab mentality. Egypt said a lot of thanks at one time? Only the Serbs remember, well, maybe even in Angola. In Vietnam, I don’t know, maybe the old people remember. You won’t even get a thank you from the rest, no offense to Kazakhstan.

[cast iron]

Because people’s money should not just be given to monkeys, but in the form of a loan, like the capitalists do. And only in this case will everything be remembered and respected.

In fact, as correctly noted, the author wrote this article in a maddening frenzy. The fact that the M-2 Bradley, to put it mildly, is not the best car is known, including in the USA itself, and that is why there are more than one modernization project of varying degrees of capital and ideas for a replacement that run into budget problems.

I just have questions

Another American a shame

If the author considers this a shame, then what will he say about domestic infantry fighting vehicles? After all, in our country, at best, they burn no worse, but in fact, due to the modifications used, the latest version of the M2 Bradley is better protected than naked domestic infantry fighting vehicles. Will the BMP-3 survive a hit from a TOU? I know the answer to this question, but does the author know?

The fact that modern infantry fighting vehicles are miraculously destroyed by hand-held anti-tank weapons is well known inside and out. That is why, unlike tanks, they are not intended for direct combat with serious enemy forces. Should I remind you of the storming of Grozny and the loss of infantry fighting vehicles there? Exactly. For a number of reasons, a typical infantry fighting vehicle is not protected from modern anti-tank weapons, which can easily destroy even tanks. There are plenty of reasons for this, and one of them is price. For example, we had projects to modernize existing infantry fighting vehicles to increase security. Dynamic Protection (DZ) "Cactus", a complex of electro-optical active protection Shtora-1, even not so long ago presented an upgrade with lattice screens and additional armor. Has at least one of these modifications become widespread? The answer is known.

The problem of security not only for infantry fighting vehicles, but also for all equipment is fundamental and at the moment it is not possible to make even an indestructible tank. And the problem of protecting infantry fighting vehicles cannot be solved by modifications, which is why so-called heavy infantry fighting vehicles were created, which in terms of their protection at least correspond to a tank.

[Balagan]

The main thing for the manufacturer is to convince the customer that the thing built is the coolest and give money for new ones. But how it is in reality - it can be attributed to anything.

[Andryukha G]

“Bred Li”, like all foreign equipment, was designed for greater comfort for those inside, so that there would be no cramping and overcrowding (judging by the height and width), our equipment was designed first for combat, and then for comfort.

[Bulrumeb]

within the framework of the GCV program they tried to start developing 84-ton (!) infantry fighting vehicles

Americans don’t learn from other people’s mistakes, so they decided to kill off their own Mouse. The Germans had already gone through all this at the end of World War II. Or cut again?

[Earnest]

Quote: Kapralwdw

and our BMD MAY DROP ON THE BOTTOM WITH CLEARANCE OF 10 CENTIMETERS AND IN SUCH POSITION MOVE AND SHOOT TRY IT TO BRADLEY CAN IT?

From communicating with motorized riflemen, I know that the mechanism for changing the ground clearance is no longer installed, and on the first vehicles it is blocked. Reliability is too low, they couldn’t bring it to fruition.

[Landwarrior]

The source, however, is cool - "Bulletin of Mordovia"

[Wiruz]

Article set minus

Another American disgrace: BMP M-2 "Bradley" in Saudi Arabia in battles burn like matches

Don’t you think that with such articles we are sliding down to the level of Ukrainian media? They, too, having found photos on the Internet of burnt T-72s, write that “Russian tanks don’t know how to fight, but they burn great” (here we are not talking about a specific article or a specific tank, but about the working methods of Ukrainian journalists).

Correct me if I’m wrong, but in my opinion, in the entire history of the military-industrial complex, not a single country has had such a product (tank, aircraft, infantry fighting vehicle) that would not have suffered losses after repeatedly participating in military conflicts.

[Mercenary]

Urgently purchase and give to our “sworn friends”. A big party to Kyiv and Istanbul!

[kumaxa]

Here, in defiance of the article, I watched their latest developments on the DISKOVERY channel. their URAL was invented with a special bottom like our BTR-157. We forgot, they remembered and came back.

[Roll]

occurred due to so-called “friendly fire”.
It smacks of outright lies.
Although I can’t understand what to expect from an infantry support vehicle? If you make it heavy, then it will be a BMPT and the tasks will be like those of a BMPT, and it will perform completely different functions. And as the wars have shown, both in Iraq and in the Caucasus, Ukraine, Afghanistan and many other countries where BMP1, BMP2, M2 Bradley were involved in conflicts. Without active and dynamic protection, they will burn and explode, and of course, a properly trained crew.
