Armor is good against light infantry, right up until they get anti-tank weapons, after which it’s a massive coffin/integrated crematorium.
We switched to Strikers and those other stupid things in Iraq for the same reasons, there were rpg-7s everywhere, you just couldn’t stop them, more armor slowed you down and made you a worse target in bad terrain.
The Bradley is death against everything its size, and killed a bunch of T-72s because TOWs don’t lie. Mainly, if you’re worried about RPGs, you can have guys get OUT of the Bradley and chase them with guns.
