The first four M2A2 ODS IFVs refurbished at Djuro Djaković facility in Croatia were officially delivered to the Croatian Armed Forces yesterday. It's worth noting that the Croatian Bradley is a baseline ODS variant, equipped an Integrated Sight Unit (ISU) with 1Gen FLIR and ELRF.

Compared to the Ukrainian M2A2 ODS-SA, the Croatian M2A2 ODS lacks the Improved Bradley Acquisition Subsystem (IBAS) with a second-generation FLIR and stabilized head mirror, and also lacks the Driver's Vision Enhancer (DVE) mounted in the front of the hull.

Flat green paint, sad for no interesting camo scheme here.

So these replace the Dragoon

The M1304 ICVVA1 Stryker is essentially a newer, upgraded version of the Stryker Dragoon, designed to address vulnerabilities identified in the Dragoon variant, particularly related to its ammunition storage configuration, and offering enhanced firepower with a 30mm cannon while maintaining the core Stryker platform; essentially, the ICVVA1 is meant to replace the Dragoon in the US Army inventory.

Are all existing Dragoons being retired ?
