Armor was improved, both passive and the ability to mount explosive reactive armor. The new armor protects the Bradley against 30 mm APDS rounds and RPGs, or similar anti-armor weapons. The new armor eliminated the trim vane that made the Bradley amphibious and covered up the side firing ports. Spaced laminate armor was installed to the hull rear. Spaced laminate track skirts protected the lower hull.A semicircular shield was attached to the turret rear to add more stowage space, as well as act as spaced armor. Kevlar spall liners were added to critical areas. The troop-carrying number was reduced to six, eliminating the periscope position behind the driver. After live firing testing, the seating and stowage arrangements were redrawn. These upgrades raised the cumulative gross weight of the vehicle to 30,519 kg (67,282 lb. (30.037 long tons; 33.641 short tons)).[citation needed] The M2A2 was qualified to be transported by the C-17 Globemaster III. M2A2s were all eventually modified to the M2A2 ODS or M2A3 standard.Combat historyTwenty Bradley's were lost—three by enemy fire and 17 due to friendly fire incidents. Another 12 were damaged. The gunner of one Bradley was killed when his vehicle was hit by Iraqi fire, possibly from an Iraqi BMP-1, during the Battle of 73 Easting.[18] To remedy some problems that were identified as contributing factors in the friendly fire incidents, infrared identification panels and other marking/identification measures were added to the Bradley's.[citation needed]In the Iraq War, the Bradley proved somewhat vulnerable to improvised explosive device (IED) and rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attacks, but casualties were light—the doctrine being to allow the crew to escape at the expense of the vehicle. As of early 2006, total combat losses included between 55 and 100 Bradley's.[19][20] By the end of the war, about 150 Bradley's had been destroyed.[21][unreliable source?]The M2A3 variant began to replace the M3A3 cavalry fighting vehicles in US Army armored reconnaissance units in 2014, as the increased ammunition of the loads carried by the M3A3s reduced the number of scouts able to be dismounted. In 2016, a reorganization of reconnaissance unit structures and compositions saw large-scale replacements of Humvees within these units with M2A3s, increasing the tactical mobility and maneuver warfare capabilities of US Army armored reconnaissance brigades.[22][23]On 4 January 2023, President Joe Biden was asked by a journalist during a press event if M2 Bradley's were "on the table" for Ukraine. His response was "Yes", without further explanation. This follows France's promise to send AMX-10 RC and ACMAT Bastion.[24][25][26] The next day, the Pentagon confirmed 50 Bradley's were included as part of a $3 billion package as part of assistance to Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine; Germany also committed to sending the Marder (IFV).[27][28][29] The decision to send the Bradley was made because by that point the U.S. had determined Ukrainian forces had demonstrated they were proficient in maintenance and sustainment of such Western-made AFVs.[30][31] Another 59 vehicles were included in another package later that month.[32] Bradley's were first shown to be in Ukrainian service in mid-April 2023.[33
