It may not win the war, but this huge tranche could go a long way.

The Bradley M2A2, the latest version, with extra steel and composite armor, better suspension and a stronger engine to handle the extra weight. This variant has the 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun and the TOW missile launcher, giving it strong firepower against both soldiers and tanks, as the Ukraininas have demonstrated so sucessfully. These Bradleys are enough for 4 battalions of 41 vehicles each.

The first 62 Bradleys have already been inspected between June 3 and June 5 at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. These initial 62 vehicles will be provided as free aid.

And the US is giving away these Bradleys to….. Greece. Santorini is under imminent attack and needs tanks.

The US Excess Defense Articles [EDA] program is run by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency [DSCA]. It aims to give surplus military equipment to foreign governments and international groups. This gear isn’t needed by the US Department of Defense [DoD] anymore and is given away cheaply or even free to eligible countries.
