I don’t really think of a Bradley as a tank killer, but I guess it can be. Suspect some luck was involved.

The Bradley is a great tank killer, but should be doing so with TOW missiles, not their chain gun. The Bradley prevailed here through a combination of skill, aggressiveness, and probably a bit of luck.

I think this is propaganda.

They are supposed to come armed with two TOW missiles that can kill tanks out to 5 kilometers. 5k should outrange just about any Russian tank...or at least their main gun

Those are not Russian tanks but more like armored personnel carriers, APCs. It can rip them open like a tin can. Tanks are also very venerable too if hit from the rear where the engine compartment is located. Regardless, great to see the Bradley doing what it was designed to do.
