Why is Bradley so heavy, Bradley s outside evaluation

Bradley's protection should be considered okay in infantry fighting vehicles (prototype 22T, latest modification 30T, 36T for LZ ** know ?? ）

Because according to the ground combat situation of the US army, the army is generally used to fight when it has absolute air supremacy, and when the battlefield is frontal assault, it is led by the main battle tank of the M1 series, and air support (artillery or ***) can also be called at any time, so the combat environment faced by the US army's infantry fighting vehicles is relatively good, and the main threat is some sporadic mines, RPG rocket launchers, and artillery shell fragments, rather than face to face with the enemy's armored divisions. At the same time, the vitality requirements of the vehicle itself can also be lower. Small-caliber guns are nimble (in the face of scattered vitality) and can carry more ammunition.

That's 36 short tons. Now it's not surprising that M1 can exceed 70 tons in some **.

If Bradley wasn't good armor, there was nothing to call an armored car. Don't compare it with the tofu scum armor like BMP, even the MK211 can be worn casually. Bradley's spaced composite armor is intended to be used against RPGs.

In terms of volume, it is obvious that the Bradley is larger, the turret is stabilized, the missile launcher can be folded, and the tracked vehicles with a little protection in the West are of this weight compared to it. In comparison, MGS carrying a cannon may not be heavy, not to mention an automatic loader.

The Ground Combat Vehicle is the truly overweight, main battle tank-level protected infantry fighting vehicle. The basic weight of 53 tons, plus the modular armor of 75 tons, is definitely protection against direct fire from tank guns.

36 short tons is too much, it's hard to say that it's the full combat weight plus the crew plus reactive armor, but the T-64 you compare it to is the net weight.

Nonsense. The total combat weight of the M2A3 is not 30 tons.

Bradley always did everything possible to reduce the soldier's **. To this end, he advocated the full use of armoured, artillery and air forces. General Bradley is a strategist and tactician, he is more restrained and easy-going than those famous American generals of his time, and he is known as a "soldier general" as a senior commander who commands thousands of troops, and is generally respected and loved by his subordinates.

Bradley was not only good at commanding operations, but also good at managing troops. He was considerate of the soldiers and asked his subordinate officers to do the same. He objected to the simple and rude treatment of soldiers by officers, and forbade them to abuse and physically punish soldiers.

At the end of the Sicily landings, he ruthlessly dismissed his subordinates, Allen, commander of the 1st Division of the United States, and Roosevelt, deputy commander of the division. These two people are talents appreciated by Marshall, Chief of Staff of the US Army, especially Deputy Commander Roosevelt, who is also the son of Roosevelt. The reason for this is that their subordinates, in front of other troops, especially those in the rear, flaunt their might, are arrogant and unreasonable, openly contempt the soldiers, and provoke trouble; They themselves were undisciplined and acted on their own, which led to the heavy situation of the troops.
