Part of the At War series
Paperback / softback
Description
In a full-scale, fully detailed look at the M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle System, Michael Green and James Brown conduct readers through the nuts and bolts, production history, and wartime work of the stalwart Bradley since its production in 1982.
Designed to transport infantry, provide fire cover, and suppress enemy armor that Bradley has proved remarkably adaptable: it is amphibious, and has been used to transport and launch missiles in combat.
Recent upgrades include thermal imaging, eye-safe laser rangefinders, digital compass systems for missile countermeasures, dual target tracking, and both smoke bombs and chaff bombs in addition to it's primary armament, the 25mm TOW Chain Gun anti tank missile, and the Rytheon TOW BGM -71 anti-tank missile system.
With pictures, diagrams, details of weaponry, and accounts of action this book gives readers a real sense of how much these hardworking tanks have contributed to success in the military arena in recent years.
