POWERED BY
Bradley and Drone Tag Team BMP
Published 10 months ago
An interesting look at the latest iteration of tactical combined arms. FPV drone footage shows a Russian BMP disabled by an explosion. I am unsure of the source – it may have struck a mine, been hit by a drone-dropped munition, or may have been hit by an ATGM or rocket. As the smoke clears the infantry can be seen dismounting the BMP and taking cover on the right side of the vehicle as automatic cannon fire impacts the left side. According to the source, that fire is delivered by an M2 Bradley firing its 25mm Bushmaster chain gun. At least one soldier is cut down by 25mm as the others attempt to take cover on the leeward side of the BMP. The drone seizes this opportunity to drop munitions on the sheltering soldiers. In short order this IFV is disabled and the infantry neutralized, either wounded or killed.
