It's been modernized....

well, they did get upgraded optics, that is why they are so much better than the russian counter part, beyond that there isn't much else to improve there offensively that would make a big difference, just make it much more expensive, the big improvements are in overall coordination and recon, and that can't be used in Ukraine yet with russias AA still live, and also - don't give away the card before you yourself might need it (russia or china war with NATO), because as soon as one side starts using something unseen and advanced, the other side starts to take notice and work on countering it, there is never a long lasting advantage

@@thefoodcan“modernized“ in the early 90s to the ODS (operation desert storm) version. That’s 30 years ago

@@thefoodcan yeah it's last significant upgrade was over 20 years ago.

General Patton fawned over Bradley, as did other officers who recognized competence.

America has a very low tolerance for troop losses. Which is why I remain bewildered why we are playing patty cake with the Russian invasion. Oh, it's only Ukrainians.

@@shakkabubba Not in the movie Patton. Bradley fawned on Patton and got him back in the war after he struck a PTSD soldier. But I get most of my opinions from movies so I'm terrified of nuclear power.

Not necessarily, you will pull in more units to perform a rescue.

@@olivere5497Rescue? Russians care? I don’t think that is part of their modus operandi, they consider troops to be expendable.

I trained on Bradleys at Fort Knox back in '85. That cannon would pass right through old armor placed out on the range like paper.

Hitting power is velocity x weight of bullet.... and of course the Bushmaster is very reliable and can swap between 2 different ammo type seamlessly armour piercing or high explosive

They're good when puncturing soft armor and structures but that's about it. They're an infantry fighting vehicle not made for going toe to toe with tanks.... this proves nothing other than what they were made for.

@@deepposeidon289 Heh...nobody said it was. But they also carry TOW missiles, or upgraded anti-tank missles. My only gripe with the Bradley has always been that it is too tall.

​@@deepposeidon289 yeah. I don't think anyone would like to be in a situation where you'd have to use the 25mm against tanks. It wouldn't be a fair fight at all, and that's why you got tow launchers for tanks.

Isn't that this ruzzian shill?

He might be trans. I'm fixing to get offended.

like throwing berries into a blender and going full.

Lol I imagine not pleasant

Those looked like the HE rounds hitting it. They are a lot more effective at taking out vehicles like this than the AP rounds. An AP round is only 8mm in diameter and is good for taking out plenty of things but the HE rounds will literally blow holes through that armor.

Most of the 25 mm rounds will not penetrate the armour. Maybe even none om them will. But the tracks, the turret bearing, the optics, any outside fuel tanks and so on may stop working, so the MTLB may soon be blind, stuck and perhaps even engulfed in flames. That may perhaps not feel so good on the battleground while being fired at with a machine cannon. By the way, Bradley also has a TOW launcher. This is more cumbersome to operate and can't fire many shots, but it can definitely penetrate most russian armour. So those who may have survived the 25 mm cannon inside the tank may then consider if they should wait for a TOW, or abandon tank and face the 25 mm machine cannon without armour. In any case, I don't feel sorry for any russian terrorist inside a russian tank in Ukraine now.

Hell.

small arms will go through that mtlb armor from ww2. a bradley chain gun is like taking an elephant gun to a squirrel.

They Russians came out of the bush, so this cannon is their master😁😁😁

Just watch Predator1 when the bush is mastered.

I was a bit of a bushmaster in college..

americans have newer stuff than bradley they transitioning into. its why they giving them to ukraine and buying the newer armored fighting vehicle.

Here's the hilarious thing: the reason we haven't replaced the Abrams and Bradley is because they're already completely overpowered against everything the bad guys have, especially Russia and China. 😂 We don't need anything better yet, the Russian vehicles are too shitty to justify it 😂

We've tried to replace the Bradley multiple times and we always end up canceling the program and using the leftover money to update the vehicles.

Meanwhile, the B52 has been flying for over 70 years and is planned to remain in service for another 30

@@wills.5762 a great country flying on the old junk of the United States, and there is no reason to even talk about new nuclear missiles, they are not even in the plans, so to cut the military budget and go home.

@@-aKa-AL_7- I mean, the B52 is still in service because it can still perform its role well. Same goes for most long-lived military equipment, they're of the mindset "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and that's something I can get behind to be honest. I think it's cool as hell that my kids will have the opportunity to see a flying B52 that spent a century in service, provided they keep a couple for airshows and whatnot

@@wills.5762 and this means if the equipment of the Russian Federation is more than 20 years old, then it is a rusty trough, and aircraft that are 70 years old have excellent equipment🤣 bro, read what kind of beast such an Old metal is, and if your governments continue to attack and force the Russian Federation to retaliate, I'm afraid that not only your grandchildren will not see the white light, but everything may end in your century. think about it, you need it.

Yes, the MTLB's armour is on the thin side, even compared with other IFVs / APCs such as BTR or BMP. I believe it wasn't originally designed as a front line vehicle, more as an artillery tractor, with some splinter protection. Slava Ukraini!

@@alexandermonro6768 Yes, precisely. MT-LB stands for Multipurpose Tractor - Light, Armored.

@@AgentB7 That's funny, in armor recognition class they taught us it stands for "my tiny little b:-)"

@@mekaerwin7187 No offense, that's the most stupid joke I've heard today.

@@AgentB7 wasn't a joke, that's really how they taught it.

The US initiative to develop something to replace the Bradleys in the US army started last year, but it is a long process.

They have CV-90’s and these have 40mm guns

It makes wonder what would happen if the U.S. stopped pussy footing around and putting up with little KGB man. First launch? Yeah, that option's been on the table for decades of his little empire.

@@Bob94390 A long and costly process, with campaign contributions and then more to excuse cost overruns, and then jobs for ex-military. And all the contractors have merged into a handful so contracts put Uncle Sam over a barrel. I'm not a cartoonist, darn it.

The 40mm bofors round comes in many shapes, everything from detonasting behind armor/inside, to proximity fuses for helicopters and you name it,, its old, but got better year by year

@@cmtwgrdk2748 Main disadvantage of the 40 mm Bofors is the very low ready ammo count. Only 24 rounds ready to fire at the gun, reloaded by a crewmember in 8-round clips. That's why no other customer except Sweden got the CV90 with the 40 mm gun. Everyone else got the 35 or 30 mm. 35 mm version has 70 ready rounds, 30 mm version has 160 rounds. 30 mm Puma has 200 ready rounds. 30 and 35 mm have programmable airburst fuze verisons aswell. Remember these guns are double fed. Means 70 ready rounds are 35/35 or 30/40 KE/HE. That's already low. That's why many go for 30 mm.

20 mm

@@emulation2369 there it is

​@@emulation2369Thanks for the advice, lemme just wipe my arse with it real quick.

OK, so in your view a russian MTLB typically doesn't have the 30mm AGS17D/AGS-30 automatic grenade launcher or the 30mm 2A42/2A72 autocannon that they often have? But you accept the 12.7mm NSV/Kord heavy machine gun? If the russians want to complain about "unequal combat", they can end the combatting by simply going home.

@@Bob94390 No. It typically has a 7.62mm machine gun. Why are you triggered by a simple statement of fact?

darn.

Okay, and? That's war, baby.

@@tomgoff7887 Judging by your comment. You're the type who complain about.."tHat's n0t fAir!" when come to this type of topic. Now lets say the roles are reversed and MTLB manage to destroy that Bradley or something YOU will than be like,"Hhaha. MTLMB is old and it manage to destroy that Bradley! hahahahah" or something.

So it was not a fair fight? Tell that the Ukranian children in the theatre of Mariupol.

To showcase just how pathetic Russian "armor" is.

Because it's always nice to be proven right, no?
