Bradley upgraded to M2A4E1. The United States showed an improved version of the armored fighting vehicle and is preparing it for transfer to Ukraine

The US Army has announced the release of a new variant of the Bradley tracked armored fighting vehicle called the M2A4E1.

The M2A4E1 Bradley represents a significant enhancement to America’s infantry fighting vehicle lineup. The Iron Fist active protection system integrated into this model is a modern solution for ensuring survivability on the battlefield. It is capable of detecting and intercepting incoming missiles and other threats, thereby significantly reducing the risk of hitting armored vehicles.

Radar and infrared trackers enhance threat detection capabilities, and the use of explosive rounds in the Iron Fist system effectively neutralizes attack rounds before they reach their target. This is a key advantage in the modern combat environment, where speed of reaction and the ability to adapt to a changing tactical situation can determine the outcome of the battle.

An advanced high-definition infrared sight and environmental control unit serve to enhance crew operational capabilities and prevent overheating in difficult conditions. These technologies improve not only combat capabilities, but also operational comfort, allowing the crew to maintain combat readiness in various climate conditions.

The Bradley has long been known as a reliable means of transporting infantry and providing protection in combat. Equipping the M2A4E1 with reactive armor, the M242 Bushmaster automatic cannon, BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missiles and the M240C machine gun makes it especially effective against a variety of threats on the battlefield.

With the purchase of new M2A4E1 units, the US Army is increasing its combat capabilities, and the transfer of these combat vehicles to Ukraine indicates significant support in the current war.
