The US has promised Ukraine a new military aid package including more Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.
The US-made armored vehicles, which offer maneuverability, versatility, and sufficient firepower, have proven valuable to Ukraine efforts on the battlefield — more so than the main battle tanks and other heavy armor it’s received.
The US Department of Defense announced the aid package, estimated at $250 million, on Friday, noting that it “will provide Ukraine additional capabilities to meet its most urgent needs, including: air defense missiles; munitions for rocket systems and artillery; armored vehicles; and anti-tank weapons.”
take that Pentagon Wars, Bradley FTW
Thank god someone else remembered that movie
Everything wrong with Pentagon wars summary:
TLDR, the guys opposing the Bradley were a completely loony bunch who thought the strategies and technology of yesteryear is the way to go and they were so in love with the M113 that they thought it would make a good aircraft.
Longer option, hilarious too:
The Bradley.
Yeah, that’s what I think of whenever I read about the Bradley. Great movie, and even better book. That said, they were able to finally deliver a pretty solid vehicle in the aftermath of the initial development debacle. Still not at all what was originally intended, but less of a moving coffin that was depicted in the book/movie.
