Are the Marines the Only Ones that can stop a Bradley? What's wrong with the US Army? Such injustice for the Other Branches of Service.

Lemme at em Lemme at em Lemme at em. I'll jab em with my jack staff, I'll kick their poopsdeck, I'll I'll torpedo em, Wye, I'll submarooon em.

Actually I've contenplated the many ways that regular items like chain link and barbed wire fense materials including posts and stakes can entangle such a machine and tried ideas with a trackhoe. Some stuff looks doable. I think smothering is the most likely best way to shut them down and plastering them a likely way to blind and hamper their targeting short and long range. The turrets and turret rings seem vulnerable to high voltage or gas arc or exothermic welding. But I need advice as to how strong such welds must be to stick em permanent.

Welding a tanks Turret or Turret Ring will be impossable unless you can get rid of the guards and even then you would have troops chacking out the tanks. You would likely be better off with people with a steady aim to take out the sights with paint guns. Knowing nothing at all about what a paint spot looks like when it was made by a paintgun, I am only guessing.
I do know that the wheels of a Hummer measures 88" from outside to outside. Making it so easy to take out the vehicle when on a dirt road. But a Hummer is a long way from a tank. But all vehicles do make tracks in the dirt. Spreading some dirt across a hardtop would cause tanks as well as all vehicles to leave behind tracks..
Does this bit of information halp anyone at all?

Yeppers Nam Vet, I figured the gas welding would require the guard's guard to be down and the high voltage arc to be lightning swift. And The exothermic weld would require a well shaped and placed crucible. can yougive me an idea of the turning forces that could be expected while the unattended weld was in progess?

Lol, I dismounted bradleys in Baghdad and I would rather keep far far away.
Ripley if I did have to confront one as last resort I would like you by my side. You have an I can do attitude.

Oh yeah three strand wire does wonders at stopping track vehicles or at least slowing them down. We Engineers designed wire traps forcing vehicles to either dismount or turn away. Dismounted crew were easy pickin.

What gage and hardness of wire? Would duel strand 12ga. barbwire work? Or 10ga. high tensel 128,000 lbs. per inch cattle electric fencing wire?
