How To Kill A Bradley: Jittery Russians Devise Ways To Destroy US Bradley Fighting Vehicles In...

They can try, but everyone forgets that there are 6 more tank killers in each one.

I to was an advisor to the 116th Cav in Idaho from 1980-1982 as part of Readiness Group Lewis. James Reese was the Squadron Cmdr. and he went on to be the Chief of the Army National Guard. We did not have the Bradley at that time. It was always a great adventure working with the troops and leadership of 116th. Giving the Bradly, which I helped develop the Cav version at Combat Developments, Ft. Knox, should be an interesting development to watch. It can be a real combat multiplier for the Ukrainian troops if they are used correctly. With a short time to train it will be a challenge but so far the Ukrainians have steeped up to other high tech systems - I wish them well and Good Hunting!

How U.S. Bradley Fighting Vehicles Work?
The Bradley is designed to transport infantry or scouts with armor protection, while providing covering fire to suppress enemy troops and armored vehicles. The several Bradley variants include the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle and the M3 Bradley cavalry fighting vehicle.

Russian defense commentators are already discussing how to destroy the American M2A4 Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV), with illustrated images of the system’s weak spots going around Telegram groups.
While still a few months from being deployed in Ukraine and possibly manned by hastily trained crews not fully adept with the system, even if it’s deployed on time, the combat vehicle still represents a serious tactical threat to Russian armor and infantry.
The fast-moving vehicle is an effective tank killer, an anti-infantry weapon that can scathe through plains and invade Russian positions.
As the intense urban battle in Soledar with heavy house-to-house fighting unfolded, Bradley could have mowed down Russian troops and allowed Ukrainian infantry to storm and capture positions.
With the 50 Bradley units planned for Ukraine, armored warfare will become a new dimension to the one-year-old war.
So far, the entire war has been characterized by long-range missile strikes, electronic warfare, drones, unmanned warfare (both sea and air), and a limited cyber component. But a more traditional form like armored warfare can be taken as signs of the war possibly escalating.
The Bradley performed exceptionally in the first Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm), where only three were lost. But it sustained a higher number of losses (150) in Operation Iraqi Freedom as the counter-insurgency situation exposed its vulnerability to Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) and Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPG)

The ‘How To Kill A Bradley’ Graphic
The graphic, which went around multiple Russian Telegram channels, shows a computerized representation of the Bradley and the various sections of its structure highlighted with dialogue boxes.
The Russian text suggests firing an Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM), an RPG-7 with a fragmented warhead, or a 9M113 Kornet on its turret.
