Welcome to #FirePowerFriday

The sun is shining on our Challenger 2s here in Tidworth and they're getting ready to break out onto the plain!

Today, we look to our next Armoured Fighting Vehcile. It is the mighty 💪 BRADLEY 🇺🇸

Operated by 🇱🇧 🇸🇦 and the 🇺🇸 it's a beast! ImageImageImage
Designed like the 🇬🇧 WARRIOR to defeat the Soviet BMP family of vehicles and transport soldiers into battle with maximum protection.

It hands out 👊 with its 25mm BUSHMASTER (yummy) and when that isn't enough it has Anti-Tank Capabilty in the TOW Missile (& Stinger for 🚁...) Image
Making Infantry or Armoured Fighting Vehicles isn't easy.

A nice bit of satire in the Pentagon Wars video for your viewing pleasure.

But the most recent upgrade is pretty smart!

@thinkdefence Awesome question and there is significant nuance to the answers. A leaguer should only be used when the threat allows, otherwise it is as is and has always been dispersed hides in woods, buildings, under Cam etc. And there is also an element of if you know you can be seen...
@thinkdefence Then what do you want the adversary to think? Reinforce what they may want to see? Deception? Lots of opportunity.

And the idea of loitering munitions not being countered, either kinetically or non-kinetically (EW for eg) needs to be challenged.

BUT the battlefield is chaotic
@thinkdefence And so it is as most things... it depends.

Love your work @thinkdefence , always delving into cool stuff.

And when we say kinetic hits, it could be missiles, bullets to even birds (as used at Heathrow to counter mini drones).

If we could have kinetic, maybe the MARKSMAN Image
