M2 Bradley Confirmed to have fired Raytheon Block 3/Coyote LE SR Drone
- The system itself is modular and can be tailored to fit reconnaissance, EW, and precision strike. Specifically, it can be equipped with a tandem-HEAT warhead to destroy heavy army targets at ranges in the tens of miles.

Is M2 Bradley more modern than M3 Bradley?
M2 is the IFV variant with less tow tube racks & more seats
M3 is essentially the recon variant with more tows & less seats
There’s some minor variance in later versions optics wise, but otherwise they’re identical

Did US stop using M3 bradleys? I haven’t seen any news of M3 Bradleys getting upgraded like the M2 Bradleys.
It’s still around, A4 upgrade was in 2020 iirc

As Quartas said, it’s still around, its mostly just as case of the M2 & M3 being scoped down in roles by Stryker and the launch of the XM30 programme to replace both (the M2 & M3) by 2030ish. So we’re only seeing smaller upgrades & capability sustainment programmes rather than a larger upgrade programme.
Talking XM30, I really don’t get the whole idea of going for a non-bradley chassis? IIRC the AMPV, a Bradley based system, has only recently gone into full rate production, loosing that parts commonality seems a bit wasteful IMO
Are you sure that’s a real plane?
It never went past the wind tunnel model stage. You can consider this as a real plane.
sorry, I completely missed that.
