nice specification on the bradley in the description
I drove on in Ft Benning and it does NOT have a yoke it has a steering wheel? dumb ass
that things a POS.
a state of the art POS.
the swedish cv 90 is way better it got a scania v8 and a 40 mm and got capability to change whate heck the round is gonna do when coming near the target and without the safety thingy that calms down the engine and transmission you will get 730 hp but there a catch more hp and torque more wear and tear on the engine and transmission. and you got 3 more types of the cv 90 one is a tank destroyer and one is made for firing mortars and the last one a self prepelde AA gun. and i been iside one
Where was this video taken?
My brother drive’s this in iraq
@purerage1974 Depends on the kind of fight. on a flat billiard table, bet on the M-1, in rough or urban terrain, the Bradley would disgorge its infantry squad, lay a few mines. and cover the obstacle with fire. Tough time getting across the mine field.
@hedus42 – It is NOT an APC cockhead
too small Cannon and need more machine guns on top and around
HEDUS42 NO SHIT AN M1 WOULD WIN THE FIGHT THE BRADLEY IS NOT A TANK ITS AN INFANTRY FIGHTING VEHICLE THE BRADLEY AND M1 WORK IN CONCERT COVERING EACH OTHER ALONG WITH THE 6 DISMOUNTS THE BRADLEY CARRIES
the bradley is the kind of APC that can do many things ok, but cant do any of them very well………. and for the people that says it took many tanks, you should notice that they where outdated tanks, i will like to see it against m1 , challenger or leopard…………
truckers used to call the 903 cummins”903 nothin”,they didn’t have much lug
@TheRealJohnHoward The Abrams nearly took a whole fraction of Sadam’s tank forces. The M2/M3 bradely is effective against tanks, but up close? The armor is too thin to resist something like a 125MM smooth-bore gun.
@Tyco200 Bradley’s took out more tanks in desert storm then Abrams did
Bradely APC = big balls against infantry. Against tank? … Balls shrink!
i love the bradley
“the bradley has to be the ultimate off road vehicle”
Id say the ultimate offroad vehicle goes to the BV206, that vehicle can go just about anywhere.
@Nza420 ahh kk. i watch this program. and thought to self. what vehicles this guy gets into or under or whatnot. , it has to be somewhat uncomfortable
@yamahonkawazuki super tight jeans
@Nza420 Might i ask what that means?, never heard that term before lol
@MagnumPI4 hell between 1 and now been almost 2 decades
not bad, but i’d still perfer a hornet!
Love the TOW system. Britain is still best, but not at making apcs.
enemy APC SPOTED!!!!
Not really, they actually sucked at opression, I would say the British oligarchy is much better.
