Since they put IED's in roads i would drive 10-20 feet off the side of road at least once to see if nothing happens, i dunno much about the war so please only constructive crtisism... :D
theres the AT with 2 TOWS theres the mobile gun system with a 105mm cannon, the regular 50 cal, the SAM, the one with the motar, and a command one or the RPG cage
@iliket0bike depends LAV is amphibious so it has really light armor but it faster, Bradely is slower better armored and has 2x TOWs or x Stingers but isnt amphibious but both are better than the ghetto AAVP
@SaintsSpecOps There's a reason why it's called the exploding coffin and soldiers don't like riding in em. It haves 30mm armor only on the front, the sides can be penetrated by 14.7mm. The Tow doesnt work in 1500m range, simply doesn't arm. The bradley needs to be completely stationary to aim it and the rocket itself is very slow. A proper tank crew would just see the rocket smoke and fire a few shots at the bradley and just drive away.
@SaintsSpecOps It's ment to go along side abrams, so it will meet up tanks sooner or later. The thing is a bit too bid and wide to evne move along with infantry... It can use Javelins but on a special launcher iirc. But since most tanks have active protection its a 50-50 chance for it.
Ok, that guy Aaidas is a tard. First, the Bradley can and has gone up against tanks. It's behavior against insurgents and against a conventional military are completely different, but it can do both more than adequately. My team has BFISTs (Bradley Fire Support Vehicles) but we roll with Abrams and other Bradleys. No tank just see's the smoke from a missile and fire's back in that direction. That would be pointless and they wouldn't hit us.
That's pretty hard to do when the TOW missle just opened that tank up like a sardine can. I don't know what soldier's you've talked to, but they would rather ride in a Bradley than a Humvee any day, and the Bradley has been utilized quite effectively against insurgents in Iraq. It doesn't see much action in Afghanistan because the terrain is hell on tracked vehicles.
@Aaidas2 Thats why you work in hunter killer teams, And the Tow is good from 100m to 3750m but I've seen hits out to 4000. One team fires kenetic weapons and the other team slips up and fires the TOW. We did it with Hmmwv's so don't tell me an LAV or Bradley cant do it.
@Tema127 Yep, a BMP would eat an LAV alive. But they aren't really meant for the same things. The BMP is heavy and expensive, with tons of firepower. It can outshoot any APC, but one rocket in the wrong place will still burn it up and destroy all those weapon systems. Lots of eggs in one basket.
i agree to that the 19D MOS is so unique the SF prefer that mos over all the other. what i am saying is that more 19D pass the Q course than any other mos in the army
yep, an rpg will fucking smoke an LAV, even with the new 3d armor that was just put on, it will reduce spalding, but it will smoke it, trust me 4 years, 3 LAR. I know what I am talking about
@daddydragongirl: Theres a reason they are moving the armor center to Benning, To bring the Maneuver elements together to help them understand each other capabilities.
As for the 2 MOS's being very different....you are wrong. The only difference is If you are in an Abrams versus a Brad. If your in a Brad unit, you manuever just like a Mech Infantry unit would. If you are a dismount you use the same tactics. 12 Years as a Light Fighter taught me that.
no use in having a better vehicle if you dont know how to use it. define better anyways... maybe safer.. better lets see... the lav is faster... smaller, lighter, more range.Broke Records too Desert storm 20 Bradleys were lost, most by friendly fire 17 of them to be exact, thats prolly cuz the army is retarded... and 2 LAV's were destroyed. all the bradley has on the lav is their armor.. and no unit went faster, and further than the LAR bn's in oif.
One of our vics white 1 to be specific was hit by an rpg7 in kandahar, the winch guide wire stopped it. Its prolly abut a 7/8inch piece of steel. Mabey a rpg7 could piece our old vics but I doubt it can touch our uparmored. Seeing I ride in a lav-25a2 i speak from experience.
Hey guys im not trying to be ignorant here but im with Engineer , I work at the GM plant ( general Motor's Land systems Canada ) which produces the LAV family such as the LAV 3 LAV 25 and coyote which is basically a LAV 25 , the LAV 25 cannot take an RPG hit it is strictly not meant for that it comes out of the plat with 3/8th's of an inch of ballistic armor and a half inch of steel plate. it is only meant to take small arms fire and RPG and it wotn be good it will peirce the armor , THANKs!
Oh how does an airsoft junkie challenge a combat engineer in the military....try picking up a real boomstick and carrying that in a blazing hot sandpit for 8 months then come back and talk.
so if they cannot pierce hulls on any armored vehicles so why then do the hodgi's in Afghanistan use them? read the wiki on RPG-7, i am a combat engineer. a HEAT (High explosive anti tank) round is designed to penetrate armor. if its two stage. you have two molten slugs cutting the armor up. two stage is designed to counteract reactive armor. oh is that also why they use RPG's as IED's in Afghanistan? get your facts straight. i know someone who got killed by an RPG in Afghanistan.
@EnGiNeEr689 I agree what kinda idiot thinks that? Of course an RPG-7 can pierce a hull lol it's just that this anti tank weapon is outdated to engage new MBT's and is verchally usless against them. Like M1A2 Abrams, Leopard 2 A6, Merkava, T90 etc.
really? thats why i have heard of hull breaches straight from the front lines of afghanistan? your a fucking retard. google two stage RPG. try looking into things before you comment.
single stage HEAT rounds can penetrate up to 500MM of armor. tandem rounds up to 700MM of armor. I just checked the numbers..... check wikipedia.... argument solved.
They're probably thinking about the old armored ones. The lav25a2 is up armored. Ours took 6 155 sheels and a anti tank mine to the hull and we all lived. 2 flat tires and a broken a frame was all that happened and mabey a busted trim vane. 2nd Lar A co For life!
really an RPG cuts through LAVs like butter. I know this because my friends have been killed that way. you need stand off fencing to fight RPG's. RPG's can cut through 88MM of armor.
No it cant. if it did, then Haji got a million dollar shot. I have been in firefights where small arms and RPGs were aimed at us and they only fucked up our paint jobs.
problem is they never know what kind of round they have when they fire RPG's. they also dont understand that they have an arming distance. i have seen them bounce off armor. if they are heat rounds.... different story. sorry should have been more specific.
Thank God it bounced off! I thought the armor on a LAV25 would not be able to repel an RPG with a HEAT round.....was there reactive armor or slat armor in place?
well you gotta think also, we have so much gear strapped to the side of the pigs and almost nothing will kill it unless its a shot to the undercarraige.
Reactive armor is against the Geneva convention. because civies throwing rocks at reactive armor can set it off and kill them. although it is good armor but it will kill anything nearby.
well,lucky you.A new PG-7V greande should penetrate min 250mm of armour,I don't know the new grenade types,but I heared that those can penetrate 500mm.
Yes it's soviet made,but most of it's warranty period is expired in the late '80s ,so the hexogen just doesn't explodes.I think that happened when you was in that APC.
