Combining Fire Mix and Protection: BMP M2 Bradley Best War - Forbes

The 30-ton BMP Bradley M2A2 is designed for 10 fighters, which is protected by a powerful reservation. Steel armor can withstand the hit of 30 mm armor-piercing ammunition. And if you put a dynamic protection on the car on the car, then the protection will be even better. Comparing Bradley to BMP-3, the American car is much more protected. BMP-3 can withstand 30 mm shells only in the forehead.

To protect against min miges, it has a 9mm plate, and in the landing compartment of the chair are attached to the sides or ceiling of the machine to reduce the shock wave when blown to a mini. There is also an anti -bulk tab inside the machine that holds fragments and reduces ricochet risks. The 47th separate mechanized brigade received Bradley M2A2 BMP. And more than once it was reported that the machines were used to evacuate the wounded.

M2A2 is equipped with the thermal imaging system of the second generation of Sada-II. The same as that of the Abrams M1a1 SA tanks, which came to the Armed Forces. The thermal imaging can detect a target up to 8 km with a resolution of 1. 316 pixels per inch by 480 pixels. It also has a laser rangefinder and GPS. The commander of the machine can see what is the gunner, and thanks to this attack the goals on their own.

The Russian army uses BMP-1, 2 and 3, which do not have thermal imaging sights at all. This means that at any time of the Bradley M2 day will detect the Russian car first and at any time of the day. The main weapon of Bradley BMP is the 25mm M242 automatic gun, which can fire armor-piercing and fragmentation and fragmental shells. The maximum firing range M242 is 2 km. Burning 200-500 shots per minute. M242 is fully stabilized, so Bradley can accurately fire.
