The Bradley Fighting Vehicle was developed in the 1970s to counter
the new Infantry Fighting Vehicles of the Soviet Union and its
Warsaw Pact allies. Designed to survive the imagined
high-intensity, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) battlefield
of the Cold War, it became, alongside the M1 Abrams Main Battle
Tank, the mainstay of US armoured forces during the 1980s. As the
Cold War ended, however, it would go on to prove its worth on other
battlefields. During the First Gulf War the Bradley would destroy
more Iraqi AFVs than the Abrams, while during the 1990s it would
prove itself an effective weapons system in the missions to Bosnia
and Kosovo. During the 2003 invasion of the Iraq and the fighting
that followed it confirmed its reputation as a versatile and deadly
AFV. This volumes examines the development and service history of
both the M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the M3 Bradley
Cavalry Fighting Vehicle. The various modifications and
improvements over its long service history are described, as is the
experience of the soldiers who have fought alongside and in it
during the past three decades. The book also gives a full account
of the wide range of kits and accessories available in all the
popular scales and includes a modelling gallery covering the most
important Bradley variants. Detailed colour profiles provide both
reference and inspiration for modellers and military enthusiasts
alike.
