The drama was recorded; Bradley - the tank destroyer
The Ukrainians published a video of the destruction of the Russian T-80 tank, which they hit with a single missile from the American "Bradley".
As it was later reported, it was one of the farthest direct cases of tank destruction in the entire war.
Although, after months of procrastination by the Republicans, the U.S. Congress finally approved $61 billion in aid to Ukraine on April 23, that aid in ammunition and vehicles has not actually arrived in Ukraine yet.
Večernji list also reminds that package includes an unknown number of M-2 Bradley armored fighting vehicles. The only Ukrainian unit currently using them is the 47th Mechanized Brigade which has been fighting a desperate defensive operation against a much larger Russian force west of the ruins of Avdeevka in eastern Ukraine.
The brigade slowed down the Russian offensive, and one dramatic battle, recorded from the air by a Ukrainian drone, shows how, writes Forbes.
On Wednesday evening, a marksman from an M-2 vehicle spotted a Russian T-80 tank at a distance of one and a half kilometers, east of the village of Novopokrovske. Soldiers from the M-2 fired a single TOW anti-tank missile at the tank.
"Bradley, the tank destroyer", boasted the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
It is estimated that the 33-ton armored vehicle, which can hold 10 soldiers, is perhaps the best combat vehicle in the entire war in Ukraine. Its primary mission is to transport troops into combat, and then join the fray themselves, targeting Russian troops and vehicles with precision artillery from the 25mm cannon.
