Context: [Bradley taking out a Russian FPV drone](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/1dots2u/m2a2_bradley_crew_shot_down_a_russian_fpv_drone/). Whoever comes up with the "Bradley Bingo" will have to be really creative.


PatimationStudios-2

Holy fucking shit oh my god bradley my beloved


M34L

At this point Kerch Bridge is clearly being allowed to remain standing by Ukrainian command so a Bradley can claim the finishing blow


SCARfaceRUSH

Imagine the 47th brigade taking all of their Bradleys, parking them on the coast and just unloading at the bridge, non stop. Fuck yeah!


spoedle73

You forgot the t80 it took out with a tow missile


SCARfaceRUSH

I didn't:) The meme has a limited number of doors, so my goal was to show variety (APCs, tanks, drones ... nothing is safe from the GigaBradley). I get it though. That was pretty glorious!


carpcrucible

You just have to photoshop more doors


Pinesse

Those missed rounds accidentally took out a kinzhal missile, the Chinese space station, and a dessert cross 50 miles behind the Bradley


IuseonlyPIB

Man the Chadley has really shown it's an absolute powerhouse still even with it's age. It's easily become one of my favorite military vehicles just bc of that ballsy ass duel against the t-90 alone and winning lol.


crowan2011

I find it especially poetic considering the name for the T-90 being "break through.". Break through this chain gun bitch, we save our tows for real threats.


Kilahti

Someone is going to have to redo the Pentagon Wars film to better reflect reality. ....There's a remake that I would watch.


Rome453

My preference would be for Perun to do a commentary/review of the movie for how it reflects potential mishaps in military procurement, and how it absolutely does not reflect the reality of the Bradley’s procurement.


Kilahti

But that is the boring answer. I want another comedy film to be made about the subject with a circus music montage of Bradley defeating enemy armoured vehicles. Keep Kelsey Grammer and Cary Elwes in the film as well.


rapaxus

Breaking news, IFV optics and guns apparently work even when pointed skywards.


k890

Vehicle is from 1980s with design works going back to 1970s, back then attack helicopters devastating armored columns were a serious consideration, as well as getting that pesky AT teams from rooftops and high buildings in urban areas. Fortunately for Ukrainians it seems to work against drones in the open.


carpcrucible

Well that is still a serious consideration, one of the reasons last summer didn't go well.


k890

Yup, russian helicopters show how dangerously they are if used properly. KA-52 amid own problems seems to work as advertised on modern battlefield.


Nylkyl

Partially, some are great but some have potato quality thermals, and of course vikhr missiles have a tendency to oscillate excessively at long range making a miss more likely.


deathmagnum214

nah, still died by a stinger missile, real footage of a pair KA-52 caught on camera.


carpcrucible

Even with Stugnas lmao. But it's still a problem for us when they hang out behind their lines and pop out to shoot missiles at armor. There isn't really anything to counter that effectively. America's response is "just have an air force lol" but we can't have an air force


rapaxus

I know, my point was more that "Bradley shooting down an FPV" is something that is on the level of morning weather broadcasts in terms of unexpected (aka it was obvious that a Bradley could see and shoot down an FPV easily enough).


OneFrenchman

> as well as getting that pesky AT teams from rooftops and high buildings in urban areas. The Bradley doesn't have the angle to go quite that high, but the Israelis used VADS for that, and the new Jaguar EBRC of the French Army has a +45° max angle on its 40mm CTC canon, specially to hit low-flying targets and people running around on rooftops. With the T40 turret, at least.


OneFrenchman

The Chieftain once said that their anti-helo defense while sleeping/eating was pointing thermal optics from a Bradley or M1A1 skywards, I'm guessing if they spotted something they wouldn't switch to another gun and just started blasting with the bushmaster or coax gun. Fun fact, French air force bases all have a couple [VIBs](http://chars-francais.net/2015/images/stories/galery/1976_vab-vib/7804-0007%2002%20vib.jpg), which are armed with a 20mm with spotlights and various sensors. It was created as a vehicle that was to cover tanks, but the air force noticed you can cram 6 guys in there and the 20mm can drop helicopters and light planes from the sky fairly easily, as well as destroy any light vehicle trying to get through base gates/perimeter.

Ok_Art6263

To be fair shooting a flying bomb the size of a shoe can be quite difficult, especially from an AFV gun. This is a next level skeet shooting.


notbatmanyet

Autocannons are OP and underestimated. Change my mind


carpcrucible

Holy shit, based Chadley strikes again. Doesn't it have time/distance fuse ammo already? So really we just need to strap a targeting radar to it to solve the drone problem. E: looks like it didn't get the air-burst upgrade


GreenSubstantial

It would increase efectiveness. But it can still "hit to kill" like a boss. I believe the main limitation of the bradley in Air Defense mode is turret rotation speed and gunner field of view. It can do a great job if the drone is slow or not chanciing bearing (flying straight into the Chadley), but it could struggle against fast drones targeting something else, that would require a lot of deflection.


carpcrucible

With a radar I think it could bypass the limited FOV. Then upgrade the turret with a fancy brushless motors


General_Kenobi18752

Calling it now, Bradley kills SU57


Mother-Hair6096

Jeep with a gun is at it again

Chadley: Get that weak shit outta here.


OneFrenchman

Big up to the guys on the receiving end of the 25mm rounds when they come back down.

Is Chuck Spinney available for comment?
