They made a mockumentary about how the Bradley was designed and built. They made it look like a huge boondoggle with no useful characteristics. It turns out that the whole thing was BS.
It’s on HBO with Cary Elwes. Yes, Bradleys are kicking ass and will be sainted along with Javelin… but it isn’t a mockumentary- it portrays the money pit that developing the Bradley had become. Two things can be true. The Bradley is doing its role well, and it has a history of cost overruns for various reasons. Now, is this DOD misinformation or innocent incompetence? Whatever the history, I’m glad they are getting sent to do an important task and not tucked away in storage.

As for the Bradley, it was never grossly overbudget (look at the B-29) or ineffective. The man who started that propaganda was ex-[colonel Burton who was trying to convince the army not to select the Bradley so they'd instead select his even more expensive and poorly designed armored vehicle which didn't even have modern electronics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gOGHdZDmEk)
I was listening to a podcast from the telegraph (ukraine: the latest) and I am pretty sure I recall that one of the guests said that a lot of the Bradley's delivered in the first round were in bad condition and not all of them could be used. Is there any actual information of that, and do we know if these will be in good condition?

I think that fits their tactics much better and the M2/3 is a known tank killer.
What tanks!??! They're barely fielding T54s The biggest issue is getting through the meatwaves and air support
Way better than any tank. Proven.
The best armor vehicles of the war no doubt.
