Forty-year-old American infantry fighting vehicles have undergone a large-scale upgrade. Yesterday, February 5, the portal armyrecognition.com He reported that the 2nd Armored Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division received the first Bradley M2A4 infantry fighting vehicles.

The Bradley M2A4 has been tested at the Fort Hood Military Base (Texas) since 2020. The company BAE Systems, which supplies the new BMP to the US army, indicates that its latest version is "the best infantry fighting vehicle in the world."

Bradley M2A4 is radically different from its previous versions. Thus, the cross-country ability of the car has been improved through the use of new tracks and suspension, which increased the ground clearance from 38 to 51 cm. In addition, the new suspension is necessary due to the increased mass of the vehicle - the M2A4 is normally equipped with the Iron Fist Light Decoupled (IFLD) active protection system, which provides interception of missiles and other rockets at a distance from the armor.

The standard armament of the BMP remained the same — a 25 mm automatic cannon paired with a 7.62 mm machine gun, as well as TOW missiles. A new electronic combat system manages all this. In addition, the situational awareness of the crew has been significantly expanded, the entire electronic "stuffing" of the machine has been completely replaced, and the latest communication and data exchange systems have been installed.
