During the rise of the Cold War, the United States began working on the ultimate infantry fighting vehicle that could be used under the effects of radiation and chemical agents to safeguard the troops.
As the years passed, the specifications kept increasing, and the end product significantly changed from its original incarnation. Still, it unquestionably paid off when the M2 Bradley IFV was finally introduced to the US Army.
The Bradley was completely amphibious and highly capable in cross terrain, and was able to carry a crew of three plus six heavily armed soldiers. Also, it was armed with a powerful Bushmaster cannon, a machine gun, and TOW missiles to face hostile armored vehicles.
It would be during Operation Desert Storm in the early 90s that the Bradley would prove its dominion, exceeding all expectations and even surpassing one of the most influential tanks in US military history.
