The Army's New XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle - will be Deadlier than the Bradley

The Army has renamed the OMFV program, to the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Replacing the Bradley Fighting Vehicles, the Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle, will introduce fresh and innovative features that will revolutionize how we engage in combat in the future. Its design, which is based on a modular open system architecture, will enable the vehicle to accommodate emerging technologies as they advance, ensuring that our military maintains superiority over any potential threats.

I've seen a tow missile go right into a T90 and reduce it to much smaller pieces. There are different warheads on the Tow system so i assume it was using its anti-armor round. Geez it made a mess.

[@thomasbernecky2078]

AKA: FAIL4 IFV Program. Time to send Ukraine another 300 of our forty year old (but still excellent) M2 Bradley ODS since we have 2800 in storage, and another 700 brand new M2A4 Bradleys just ordered. Our list of Fails continues: 142 Stryker MGS (already retired by the Army).

Bradley is good but it’s had its day. Everything about it is outdated. Weapons, armour, systems…..

[@royals312]

@@Bob10009Bradley would have been phased out for something better years ago if it was built for what it was intended for originally

[@royals312]

Should have built the Bradley as the scout vehicle it was meant to be, that way they could have either built a variant that was an IFV or created a new IFV.

Your bradleys are lying destroyed in ukraine weve seen pictures of it .

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

Ukrainian soldiers say that they'd rather have Bradleys over MBTs. This war is one of more infantry tactics than big tank battles. Therefore having a vehicle that can s a fely transport a squad of infantry or more into combat while providing covering fire, and crew protection in case of disabling hits isvmost important to Ukraine.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

The Israel main battle tank has the engine in the front and can transport people as well.

This is just a CV-90 with a 50mm cannon. So why RnD a new platform instead of just building CV-90's ?

Just more weight, more maintenance, and the barrels are a vulnerability in the armor that has to be compensated for.

It's worrying how flat it is on top, if they angled it a little bit like they do on the bottom of vehicles that are designed to survive IEDs it might withstand top-down attack Javelin type weapons better

I don't think you understand what a tandem warhead is. It will go through anything, no matter the angle. That is why it has an active protection system.

50.8 mm = 2 inches.The main gun is about .51 inch bigger than the 37mm on the M3 & M5A1 Stuarts. Maybe they can be dusted off and beefed up. A retro fit with the new gun. The M151C MUTT gun jeep is smaller, harder to hit and is easier to hide. A 106mm M40A1 Anti Tank Gun(ATG) is carried.

Will appreciate if some tech detail can be given on the AMX-30 IFV. Want it for comparison to the BOXER German IFV.

The Boxer isnt an IFV …you habe to compare it to the Puma and Theay Are nearly the Same! Based on the kf41 Lynx…Puma is a Special Version for the Bundeswehr

[@shanerooney7288]

Boxer is an IFV. I don't know what this other guy is smoking.

[@Blinkchuck]

@@shanerooney7288 Yes and no, the differences to the “Puma” or the “AMX-30” are in any case significant. First of all, it is much lighter, less heavily armored and has wheels instead of tracks. Then it is primarily a platform that can be used for all kinds of tasks. Most often it is used as an Armored personnel carrier. But also, for example, as an armored medical vehicle, as self-propelled artillery , as a command vehicle or (and here you are right) as an IFV. But a comparison between a “Boxer” and an “AMX-30” makes no sense. They were designed for different tasks.

[@pt3800]

Wiered video... as if those who made the video had no information of the Rheinmetal tank and therefor switch to the Bradley for half of the video. Better just look for a german and subtitle it. By the way... it is not Rheinmetal america... it was developed 100% in germany and would be produced localy in the US by licence if bought. As the Boxer it is highly modular... even until to a MBT kit. It has a double feed system to switch munition, it is drone using capable, mine resistend, crew of 3 plus 9 troops, has active protection, is digital and all screens can be personalised, has a retractable missle pod inside the turrent, vital components are all inside in seperated protected areas... list goes on and on. This video does not make that tank justice.

The bradleys are more designed to be in fast attack blitzkrieg style of assault in support of the MBTs n not what it was being used in Ukraine nowas a solo or dual assault transport. Ukraine should leap frog this small defense trenches made by the Russians n instead attack in masse towards major Russian bases n strongholds so that this little trenches will be surrounded n cut off from their supply lines
