I don't know what missiles are being carried (Googling seems to suggest something called "Joint Air-to-Ground Missile"), but surely it seems like AGM-114 can be used there as well.  Although a lack of protection from elements kinda worries me- is the TOW launcher on the standard Bradley armoured as well?

Forget about his bow and arrows- why wait until that sparrow has done his deed when I can just bury him right now 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing why he wants to have his way with the cock robin!?

Top: Next-Generation Bradley: "more horsepower, higher suspension, a blast-resistant underbody, safer fuel tanks, and a larger hull".

Middle and Bottom: Bradley fitted with a Kongsberg MCT-30 unmanned turret armed with the XM813 30mm cannon.

OMFV: Army Revamps Bradley Replacement For Russian Front

Survivability in battle is priority No. 1. Transportability by aircraft? It’s been demoted to a subitem under priority No. 7. designs are due in 2023, physical prototypes in 2025, and operational vehicles by 2028.
*
OMFV is meant to replace the Reagan-era M2 Bradley troop carrier with a “transformational” war machine boasting extensive automation, tactical networking, and other cutting-edge technologies.

Bradley with Rapier SAM:

Swap the M242 Bushmaster for something with time-controlled air burst rounds and it'll be even more effective against aerial targets.  :smiley:
Cheers,

"Did you try shutting the AFV down, waiting 30 seconds, and starting it up again?"

I like the logs tied to the side WW2 style.
I put a Bradley turret onto an M-48 hull.
