    So majority of Bradleys don't use Cummins engine?

    Don't use the Bushmaster chaingun?

    Cmon man, admit that at most, the BAE polished the bradley's guts, but no more.

  • @cr9527 All Bradley A3 FoV batches use BAE Systems engines (which are the 600h/p+ types upgraded when BAE took over). All weapon systems using the BAE MEP integration where developed by BAE Systems, some where outsourced but they stand outside of the MEP system, meaning they become obsolete; which is why BAE systems continues to develop newer weapons, to complement the FCS platform; which is something which didn't exist when UDI were rolling them out.

  • @mj2w1

    So tell me which weapons in the Bradley are developed by BAE, and which engine?

  • @cr9527 LMAO, have you ever served in the military? Engines and weapons get refitted on vehicles very frequently. What is left over from UDI is a metal box, the engines and weapon pool which is being rotated on the BFVS are made by BAE Systems.

    If you think the same weapon stays on a vehicle for 18 years, you are deluded.

  • @mj2w1

    All of them, from the chasis, to engine, to weapons.

  • @cr9527 How many batches of those are still using UDI material components? None

  • @mj2w1

    Fact 1:

    total of ~6720 Bradleys were fielded since 1981

    Fact 2:

    total of 6724 Bradleys were produced by 1994.

    Connect the dots.

  • @cr9527 Solid facts or evidence? The majority of mechanised U.S. units training and operating the BFVS are BAE Systems developed post-2005.

  • @mj2w1

    I'll tackle your last/original point.

    Most of the Bradleys in service were produced pre-2005

  • @cr9527 A. The nationality of the employees doesn't represent the company, it's not independant, it's a trading name of BAE Systems with it's own board of directors.

    B. Completely incorrect, that's not how private contractors work, a lot of U.S. military hardware is made in the UK and other European sites of BAE. It makes no difference.

    C. My original point was that BAE now makes the BFVS and the majority of the BFVS in service are made by BAE.
