Later on at St. Helena, Napolean said he knew the war was lost when he saw Moscow burning down in flames.

Joe Biden must have had the same feeling when he saw the aerial photographs of all those destroyed Bradleys and Leopard IIs.

The Russian Army didn’t get the memo: diversity is strength. Can’t some of them at least wear a dress?

Same could be said of captured t-90s, radar and EW systems…. Captured does not equal replication. If they had the capacity they would have T-14s swarming the battlefield and wouldn’t need drones and ammunition from Iran.
Putin may dream of a revived Soviet Union, but Russia is not.
Germany had the Russian invasion, napoleon his drive on Moscow, all began with great fanfare and success, both ended in failure because the decision making process was flawed.

Whether this was meant to be 3 day war or few weeks, can be argued. If anyone says this is all going according to the Russian plan, I would politely disagree

Any world on how much the Russians paid the Ukrainians for the Bradley?

Captured does not equal replication.

Why would they want to copy it, when they're easy as hell to destroy?

Lol, perhaps optics…, regardless “easy” to kill you mean like bmp-1,2,3s

They need something, start by closing hatches

Berezhok combat module on BMP-2 or BMP-3 is far superior.

Says the military expert that boasted Kiev would “fall within days” back in February of 2022.

Every part of a Bradley is better than anything on a BMP-3. The Bradley’s have great thermals and a proven FBCB2 battle tracking system. Russians make some good firearms, but they cannot put a system together like the Bradley.

I probably trusted Milley on that, if true. How are these things related?

How are they related??!! They are tied together by your consistent inaccuracy.

Explain me what exactly makes M2A2 fire control superior to that of Berezhok? Russian is at least one generation ahead.
There are videos of engagements available.
Bradley is a sitting duck against Russian armor.

Here is one instance.

The Bradley with Fire and Forget missiles does not even rely on its conventional fire control system. Even the Bradleys 25mm was penetrating T72s. Yes, the Iraqi’s had older ‘72s but we have better stuff now too. If Russian stuff is so good, then why didn’t your prediction of Kiev’s fall come true? It didn’t come true because Russian equipment became a laughing stock as Ukrainians lit them up with everything from RPG-7s to Javelins. The poor little putrid Putin-backers were able to level civilian-filled cities but could not defeat the Ukrainian country boys.

Now we’re at over 500 days of this war with the one-time zone country humiliating the eleven-time-zone country.

You must be so proud of your hazing experts.

I don’t envy a guy who has to fight T-72 with ATGM from Bradley.
You need to stop to fire and your missile is covering 300 meters per second.
T-72 can fire at you on the move, and its shell is 6 times faster.
The outcome is on video I posted.
