In a snowy landscape near Stepove in eastern Ukraine, Russian and Ukrainian armored vehicles went head-to-head in what appeared to be a mismatched fight. The Business İnsider media outlet reported this.
İt is noted that in a video released by Ukraine’s defense ministry earlier this year, a Russian T-90 tank, once billed by President Vladimir Putin as the world’s best, faced off with two Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade Bradley armored vehicles.
The Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, supplied to Ukraine by the US, is primarily designed to carry infantry on assaults with the firepower to engage fortified positions and lighter armored vehicles, while leaving head-on confrontations with a top tank to the Abrams tanks it would normally fight alongside, according to The Business İnsider.
The Bradley is equipped with capabilities that allow it to engage an enemy tank should a fight arise, but its light armor makes it vulnerable. The Russian T-90 should have been more than a match for the Bradley, yet the American IFV came out on top. That battlefield win speaks to the strengths of the crew and the boldness to use the Bradley in tough battles without the critical support of more powerful main battle tanks.
In the video of the engagement, the Bradleys fire rounds repeatedly into the Russian T-90 with their 25 mm chain-driven autocannons, appearing to damage the tank’s control systems. The Russian tank’s turret starts spinning, and then the tank veers off course and crashes into a tree.
It’s an example of the crucial role the Bradley has played for Ukraine in the front-line battles against Russia, in which its versatility, speed, armor, and capable weapons have been key.
“It is a very versatile vehicle,” Gustav Gressel, a military analyst at the European Council on Foreign Relations, told Business Insider, explaining that “a Bradley can both transport and engage any target on the battlefield.”
The US gave Ukraine its first batch of more than 60 fighting vehicles in early 2023 in anticipation of its summer counteroffensive, but their success during that endeavor was limited.
Ukraine deployed the armored vehicles in groups carrying troops in assault attacks on Russia’s defensive lines, but Russia was able to hinder advances using mines and threaten massed armor with drones, artillery, and guided missiles. Ukraine has received 300 Bradleys, of which they’ve lost at least 90, according to open-source trackers.
