The M-15A (a.k.a. M-15A Bradley or simply Bradley) is an enemy vehicle in the Metal Slug series.

Information

As an Enemy Vehicle

The M-15A is a missile tank developed by the Rebel Army for ultra-close range combat. It can fire a volley of anti-tank missiles either horizontally or in a 45-degree arc by rotating the turret.

As a Slug

Main article: Bradley

In Metal Slug 4, the player will be able to take command of a green M-15A named Bradley after taking out the Rebel driver. Once inside, ports on the Bradley will open up, and a Vulcan will extend out giving it an added boost in firepower. It jumps by using a rocket booster underneath. Due to an oversight, unlike other Slugs, the Bradley has no period of invincibility after being hit and can be destroyed very easily.

The Bradley is found in Mission 2 and can be driven up to before hopping on the Regular Army Landseek.
