The M2A2 Bradley provides considerable armor protection for an IFV (including optional reactive armor) while still retaining enough speed and mobility to keep pace with the fast-moving M1A2Æs it is accompanying. Its 25mm chain gun can be elevated up to 60░ to allow fire at slow moving aircraft and helicopters and has an effective range of 2.5 km against both air and ground targets. Advanced targeting and stabilization systems, similar to those on the M1A2, even allow it to fire extremely accurately while on the move.%n
