@Peabush if you are thinking that the pattern on the vest looks German, it dose. But then again, his overall gear looks old, perhaps he was issued the old gear. I am not sure to be honest with you. It is the Shoulder pad looking things that throw me off.
@1169Timothy Same same. The german's have a little more red oak color in it. Where as the danish is basically the same just more green. The shoulder pads are also what threw me off. Could be old gear with the frog camo the US issues. However this is in Feb 2007. No idea..
@Peabush Old Gear, US military i'm pretty sure. Says in the description National Guard, doubt those guys get the latest top of the line rigs... (PASGT pot with old school desert camo kinda gives it away in my eyes, but i'm not sure.)
@OlderG0ds the bradly sucks i have seen bradlys get blown to bits turrets blow of the top and because of big ieds but some times they just put gas in them to make it look like it got blown up by beeing on fire
@Blueatchley12 ? Err... What? Horrific spelling ensured that noone understood your ridiculously run-on sentence, and I doubt you've seen a bradley in your life with spelling like that. Sides, the ammo's set up to not blow the turret of in the event of a cook off, unlike the soviets tanks like the T-72.
@cockofdoody4ftw LOL NEVER senn a bradley ive seen hundreds im a m1 armored crewman in the 761st tank battalion in the us army ive seen so many bradleys and well ive seen one get blown to bits and i herd ammo cooking off but it was a huge ied and i mean no insult to the bradley but bradley vrs big ied =dead bradley.
@Blueatchley12 Fair enough. 1st CER here, attached to an armour battalion (lav 25s and IIIs), And I guess I've seen LAVs hit bad by IEDs, but no cook offs, or catastrophics. What position are you? Isn't the progression for m1s in the corps driver, loader, gunner, commander? And if so, is it the same for army boys?
@cockofdoody4ftw im a tank comander got out of iraq about 3 months ago going back to base in about 1 more month takeing us out of iraq but ill still have fun with training and shooting un maned tanks and preatty much same with all the army guys
@originalreal good point. how about the 30mm chain gun off a apache longbow? this next question goes out to anyone who knows there guns, how effective is the 25mm round against armor?
@OPKvids -- Just to clarify, we called them APVs (Armored Personnel Vehicles - misspelled below), but they are also called APCs (Armored/Armed Personnel Carriers), and today, IFVs (Infantry Fighting Vehicles). Of course, I also wore BDUs (Battle Dress Uniform) which are now called ACUs (Army Combat Uniforms) today. Oh how times have changed.
@OPKvids -- Bradleys are not "light tanks". They are Armored Personal Vehicles (APVs) designed for rapid troop insertion in hot combat zones. You have a gunner, driver, commander, and six dismount infantryman. They replaced the M113 of Vietnam fame. Nobody dismounts a tank in combat. I was in 1st Battalion 7th Infantry Regiment 3rd Infantry Division (1/7 Inf, 3ID), Mechanized, stationed in Germany in the 80s and 90s and assigned to an M2-A1 Bradley.
The question is. YOU SEE SOMEONE FROM THE KITCHEN ERVIR melted water an hour? NO RESPONSE. ALSO FALL FROM NOTHING TO DO A MASS D PURE AS THE TWIN TOWERS. BY IMPLOSION WAS AND WHO ELSE TO PROVE THAT FICICA, and also a documentary POSCO evades YOU LIARS. THE GOVERNMENT PEOPLE KILLED BY HIS OWN POWER AND PETROLOEO.
I don't know how long you have been or were around Bradley's, but if you research FM 23-1 Bradley Gunnery, 18 MAR 1996, you will see fire commands when the range is part of the command. I have experience with just about every variant of BFV from Desert Storm to the present. My first period of active duty was from 92-99 (I had a break in service and am now at the 13 year mark) in which I was actually a section leader and have spent what seems like an eternity in the BFV.
@MrImbetterthanyou69 OK put yourself in their shoes if the only thing you had was an ak-47 and your going up against highly trained and highly armored soldiers and Apache helicopters i would run to its one thing to be brave but its another to be stupid and die(Taliban soldiers have balls to go up against this type of firepower) nothing against our brave men and woman fighting for a pointless cause
@SkyMarshallDanda Well again put your self in their shoes if a country invaded the united states and killed 1 million of your people wouldn't you have picked up that ak or ar and fought of the invaders i know i would.
I actually tested the IBAS and the CIV at the Yuma Proving Grounds before the military put them into production. I also got the opportunity to do some testing for FBCB2 platforms. This all took place circa 94-96 while in D. Co. 1/8 Inf, Ft. Carson, CO. I was slated to go Mike Golf school in 1999 but ETS'd just before.
Wasn't the "goal" in Afghanistan to kill Osama? Wasn't the goal in Iraq to find "weapons of mass destruction? He is and we didn't so why are our soldiers dying there? Secondly it would save us a little money not to mention if congress voted againest their pay raises.
@polvereoro86 That video doesn't prove anything actually. Just firing from 4 different vehicles. And they have several mistakes there. First, it is not BMP-3M, but it is a simple BMP-3 and it is not in Greece, but in Cyprus.
Second, video with CV-90 is from demonstration for video presentation and advertisement. They sure got the best crew available and shoot as many scenes as they wanted to present it in their promo video.
Video with BMP-3 is an amateur footage from training of recruits.
It is an interesting video, just to watch 4 vehicles together. But not for direct comparison, since they are not in same conditions in same fire range.
@BitnikGr agree they couldn't be compared ,, i would like to see BTR and specifically BMP1, 2 & 3 firing accuracy but still, i think the Bradley though not to be directly compared with any other FV mentioned has a truly solid gun , puts all bullets onto the target
@polvereoro86 Which BTR? BTR-80's 14,5mm machinegun is not very accurate, since it is not stabilized. But BTR-90 and especially, with Bakhcha-U turret has "sniper like" accuracy. It really kicks asses. 100mm low velocity gun, 30mm autocannon and ATGM "Arkan" with range up to 7km.
BMP-1 has only 75mm low velocity gun. Not powerfull and not accurate (effective range - 500m)... it was great in 70s, but already obsolete in 79-80 (Afghan war). In mountains of Afghanistan that gun hadn't enough...
@polvereoro86 ... hadn't enough elevation to engage Mujahedins on mountains. They developed BMP-2 with 30mm autocannon and elevation up to 74dgr and stabilization. Now it was powerful weapon against infantry and slow moving aerial targets, but now infantry couldn't demolish fortifications and houses (had to ask artillery support all the time). That's why BMP-3 got both... 100mm low velocity gun and 30mm autocannon. :)
Actually, you can take a look at my channel. I've uploaded 7 videos about BMP-1,2,3 and BMD-1,2,3,4 with English subtitles. You can follow history of their development.
-
What does it mean "truly solid gun"? "Puts all bullets onto the target" - At which range and which target size? You know that every weapon system has a dispersion. Usually measured in mrads. Do you know the value of dispersion of M242 for Bradley?
@BitnikGr I never miss ur uploads m8,, no bulshit i never miss a single1 cause US arms r waaayyy covered by youtube vids and wiki & stuff,,,,but Russian is completely opposite,,,,, i'm buffering now ur BMP4 vid btw,,, abt the dispersion i;m not aware of it, and i think we can never find a single opportunity to DIRECTLY compare a US and Russian tank or even APC or IFV,,,, I;ve searched for MRADs & found nothing, seems like not a very well known abbreviation seems too profesional to find on th net
@polvereoro86 "i think we can never find a single opportunity to DIRECTLY compare a US and Russian tank or even APC or IFV" - Why not. There are many tenders all over the world where AFVs compete with each other. Very seldom, result are available and some times even with details. For example, Bradley competed with CV-90 in Denmark I think...and it lost, especially in mobility.
CV-90 competed with BMP-3 and Marder in Greece. CV-90 was better, but Greece wanted to buy BMP-3 for political reasons.
CV-90 was better for particular needs of Hellenic Army... not like it is better than BMP-3 in everyway. Indonesia was offered Bradleys too (if I am not mistaken), they prefered BMP-3F for Marines.
@lilizinha666 Errr no it was a miss guided belief, why Iraq was invaded. How much oil did we get and the thing is winding down. Tribute is always cheaper than war.
I was in the USMC and always wondered why they did not put a bigger gun on the bradley. Why didn't they pick a cannon larger than 25mm? If anyone can answer this much appreciated.
@BIRDDOG551 Maybe because the vehicle was designed in 1981 and at that time 25mm auto-cannon was good enough. Most of IFVs of that period had 20-30mm autocannons.
M242 cannon with M919 rounds was capable to deal with any light carried vehicles and for heavy armored Bradley has TOWs.
IFVs with 40+mm cannon, armor against 30mm shells and heavy APCs started to appear much later.
For example, the APFSDS-T round of Bofors 40mm L70 (installed on Swedish CV-90) cannon has penetration of 140mm RHA. It is enough to penetrate sides of any modern MBT in the World.
I would like to know penetration of M242 with M919...
@BitnikGr the 25mm is for AFV and soft targets the bradley has to tows for tanks. in the 1991 gulf war i think bradleys killed more tanks than did the abrams.
Time and history has given the general public a context of righteousness and a consenus to condemn hitler and his cronies... including the ss and the german soldiers who fought for the pride of their country. Look at the present state of america and you will see that in deed... very little is different between modern day AMERICA and 1938 nazi germany.
@MrGamalier Neither. I believe it's classified as an IFV - Infantry Fighting Vehicle due to its 25mm cannon. But, if you prefer, falls more under the APC class. "Tanks" always have heavier armament, i.e. a 105/120mm main gun plus coaxial MG's.
@EpicFlamerz55 Barrel is 25mm in diameter. This is called a caliber. Barrel length of the M242 is 2.175mm. In other words it is a 25mm L87 cannon. 87 is length of the cannon in calibers. 87*25=2175.
@paystobeawinner1 Its a M242 Bushmaster chain gun, the AC-130 uses a 25mm gatling gun, 40mm bofors, and 105mm howitzer. Its all on wikipedia which is actually quite accurate on most things.
@rphinks Yeah, that's what i've heard... marking targets with those IR lasers and tracers flying around all at the same time, I could definitely imagine it feeling like a game.
the bradley is not a LAV, its either an IFV(infantry fighting vehicle), or CFV(CAVALRY fighting vehicle) depending on the configuration. LAVs are what marines use- same main gun though- truly awesome
DESPITE BEING BRAZILIAN LOVE THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR AMAZING MACHINES. A COUNTRY THAT PRESERVE THE PEACE AND RESPECT THE LAW AND THE PEOPLE CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL HUMANITARIAN ACTION IN THE WORLD The AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WONDERFUL
@xXxn3ls0nxXx kinda curious though, thinking kinda probable for once for me, what purpose does the smoke screen have, i understand to conceal the bradley from enemy fire but doesnt that kind of make it stand out. if there is a smoke screen like that and you dont see a bradley outside of the smoke, guess bet its in the smoke so just shoot into the smoke, he cant see out from the bradley now cause he is in the smoke, does that make sense or am i just not getting it?
@pele42891 you put the smoke screen on, then maneuver to safety, conceal movement etc but the main thing is that dense smoke screen obscures laser designators and blinds infra red rays. so in short smoke and movement.
@pele42891 Smoke also scatters laser beams. If laser beam is scattered then ATGMs can't be guided. Most tanks and IFVs have so called "soft-kill" system. Sensors locate laser beam illuminating the vehicle. Fire Control System automatically turns turret toward that direction and discharge smoke grenades. Also it inform the crew where from approximately laser-beam is coming. Crew then can maneuver to safety.
The most advanced system gives immediately fire solution to FCS and crew can engage...
@EmergencyVehiclesAu Yeah, we (the Army) have those as well. That is like comparing apples an oranges you MO! The M-2/3 is a TROOP TAXI, not a TANK you R-Tard. So how can the M1 be better? They each serve a very specific purpose. If you're saying, "The M1 is better because it blows shit up better" then I would counter and say, "fuck your M1, the nuclear bomb is way better."

I was in the USMC and always wondered why they did not put a bigger gun on the bradley. Why didn't they pick a cannon larger than 25mm? If anyone can answer this much appreciated.
BIRDDOG551 8 months ago
@BIRDDOG551 Maybe because the vehicle was designed in 1981 and at that time 25mm auto-cannon was good enough. Most of IFVs of that period had 20-30mm autocannons.
M242 cannon with M919 rounds was capable to deal with any light carried vehicles and for heavy armored Bradley has TOWs.
IFVs with 40+mm cannon, armor against 30mm shells and heavy APCs started to appear much later.

@BIRDDOG551 ...
For example, the APFSDS-T round of Bofors 40mm L70 (installed on Swedish CV-90) cannon has penetration of 140mm RHA. It is enough to penetrate sides of any modern MBT in the World.
I would like to know penetration of M242 with M919...

@BitnikGr the 25mm is for AFV and soft targets the bradley has to tows for tanks. in the 1991 gulf war i think bradleys killed more tanks than did the abrams.

Time and history has given the general public a context of righteousness and a consenus to condemn hitler and his cronies... including the ss and the german soldiers who fought for the pride of their country. Look at the present state of america and you will see that in deed... very little is different between modern day AMERICA and 1938 nazi germany.

I HAVE A QUESTION ,,, THE BRADLEY IS AN APC TANK OR A REGULAR TANK?
MrGamalier 8 months ago
@MrGamalier Neither. I believe it's classified as an IFV - Infantry Fighting Vehicle due to its 25mm cannon. But, if you prefer, falls more under the APC class. "Tanks" always have heavier armament, i.e. a 105/120mm main gun plus coaxial MG's.

@sowarabinomai ok thnx
EpicFlamerz55 8 months ago
@EpicFlamerz55 Barrel is 25mm in diameter. This is called a caliber. Barrel length of the M242 is 2.175mm. In other words it is a 25mm L87 cannon. 87 is length of the cannon in calibers. 87*25=2175.

@xXxn3ls0nxXx you spelt it all right. and thanks for the knowledge
pele42891 1 year ago
@xXxn3ls0nxXx kinda curious though, thinking kinda probable for once for me, what purpose does the smoke screen have, i understand to conceal the bradley from enemy fire but doesnt that kind of make it stand out. if there is a smoke screen like that and you dont see a bradley outside of the smoke, guess bet its in the smoke so just shoot into the smoke, he cant see out from the bradley now cause he is in the smoke, does that make sense or am i just not getting it?
pele42891 1 year ago
@pele42891 you put the smoke screen on, then maneuver to safety, conceal movement etc but the main thing is that dense smoke screen obscures laser designators and blinds infra red rays. so in short smoke and movement.
intrax3000 1 year ago
@intrax3000 oh alright thanks
pele42891 1 year ago
@pele42891 Smoke also scatters laser beams. If laser beam is scattered then ATGMs can't be guided. Most tanks and IFVs have so called "soft-kill" system. Sensors locate laser beam illuminating the vehicle. Fire Control System automatically turns turret toward that direction and discharge smoke grenades. Also it inform the crew where from approximately laser-beam is coming. Crew then can maneuver to safety.
The most advanced system gives immediately fire solution to FCS and crew can engage...
