Description

Named after the WWII commander, General Omar Bradley, the M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) originally entered U.S. Army service in 1981. It largely came about as a response to the Soviet Union’s BMP, and was designed as both an APC and a tank-killer. The Bradley is able to keep pace with the M1 Abrams, and it is armed with a 25mm Bushmaster cannon and a coaxial 7.62mm M240C machine gun, as well as a pair of TOW missile launchers. The Bradley has served with distinction in combat in the 1991 Gulf War, as well as in Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2003 onwards, where it has proved remarkably survivable.
