Army Arms Bradleys With Heat-Seeking, Drone-Killing Stinger Missiles


By Kris Osborn - Warrior Maven

The Army is arming Bradley Fighting Vehicles with heat-seeking Stinger air defense missiles to give the infantry carriers an improved ability to track and destroy enemy air threats such as drones, helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

Most current Bradleys are armed with TOW anti-tank missiles, a land weapon predominantly used for attacking enemy armored vehicles, bunkers or troop formations. Adding Stinger missiles will increase the attack envelope for the vehicles and potentially better enable them to protect maneuvering infantry and mechanized forces in combat.

They finally did it!!!

I was at the Air Defense Board at Fort Bliss in the 80s, when the first tests were conducted on the  BFV withal an air defense capability. Maybe it took 35 years that get it figured out.
