| Source measurement | — | The M3 Bradley CFV is very similar to the M2 Bradley IFV (infantry fighting vehicle) and is fielded with the same two-man 25 mm Bushmaster cannon turret with a coaxial M240C 7.62 mm machine gun. It only varies from the M2 in a few subtle ways and by role. The M3 is classified as an armored reconnaissance and scout vehicle and does away with the firing ports found in the M2 series. The M3 also carries more TOW missiles as well as more ammunition for its 25-mm and 7.62-mm guns.[source]M3 Bradley · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The M3A4 model of the Bradley is fitted with a new 675 horsepower (503 kW) engine. Electronic systems have been improved. Deliveries of upgraded vehicles commenced in 2020.[source]M3 Bradley · Variants / M3A4; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
