Post Bradleys with heat-seeking Stinger missiles

Army arms Bradleys with heat-seeking, drone-killing Stinger missiles


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.

"As directed by the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Army is conducting a proof of principle to incorporate Man Portable Air Defense Systems back into the Armored Brigade Combat Teams by modifying two dozen Bradleys to carry Stinger Missiles in lieu of TOW Missiles,” Ashley Givens, spokeswoman for Program Executive Officer, Ground Combat Systems, told Warrior Maven.

Not yet, but very soon, we could see Bradleys outfitted with Stingers (easy to add to our game). I would imagine the Stingers and TOWs mounted as modules to allow configurations by mission requirements.

While I envision a Bradley platoon equipped with one Stinger vehicle, scout platoons riding with Abrams, I could see out of the 12 Bradleys two or three Bradleys in each platoon fitted with Stingers.

Stingers were never a consideration in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), but as the army tools up for possible heavy formation fights with the likes of Russian forces, providing Bradleys with Stingers to mitigate Russian Hind helicopters and their ground support fixed wing aircraft makes sense.
