IED/EFP damage to a Bradley
This is EFP damage to a Bradley. The copper projectile went through the steel side skirt and through a couple inches of aluminum armor before finally stopping in the transmission.
The EFP was the start of a sofisticated ambush in the Al-Jihad neighborhood of West Baghdad. The attackers were driven off by fire from the rest of the patrol.
The blast set the engine on fire but was extinguishe
More..d by the Halon system. The bradley commander suffered minor injuries and the driver had some smoke inhalation, but both were fit for duty the next day.
The Bradley was a total loss and was sent to a junk yard to be stripped of parts.
If a video of the blast was shown then it would have appeared that it killed everyone inside due to a very large explosion. No one suffered brain injuries or hearing loss. Fortunately, it was an older Bradley that didn't have many miles left on it. Less..
