M2 Bradley
M2 Bradley AFV side view
3/4 view of of a U.S. M2 Bradley IFV turret and 25mm main gun and the TOW launcher on the right side of the turret. I found the little "NON ARMOR" weld jobs on the 2 hatches of the ARMORED Personnel Carrier amusing. I assume they are part of the restoration and are prohibiting potential access for birds.
Infantry Fighting Vehicle (MCV0508)
M2 "Bradley"
American
The Bradley was named for General Omar N. Bradley, last of the five star generals. The Bradley was designed as a replacement for the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC). This multipurpose vehicle provides speed, integrated weapons systems and more protection for troops than the M113. These vehicles made up the majority of the APCs deployed in Desert Shield/Storm by the U.S. Army
Weight (combat load)
49,075 lbs.
Primary Armament:
25mm gun and TOW Missile Launcher
Max. Speed: road (governed)
41 MPH
The resoration of this vehicle too approximately 3 weeks costing between 30 and 40 thousand dollars. This vehicle will remain on display outside until the museum recieves funding to provide a storage facility large enough to preserve in and the other pieces displayed here.
