The site began life as a database of Ukrainian regular and volunteer units, but over the years it has grown to cover a whole range of topics.
Ukrainian Ground Forces received a well-worth additional strength in the form of a new tank brigade.
Demobilized, reactivated, used as replenishment and reactivated again. That’s the story of Ukrainian 5th Tank Brigade through the last years. The unit was formed back in 2016 as a reserve tank brigade, but was subsequently demobilized and reactivated only after the Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022.
However, due to fierce fighting on many fronts during the first months and the losses in other combat brigades, tanks and manpower were used as replenishment and the path of 5th Tank Brigade seemed to be over.
In March 2023, first hints appeared that Ukrainian Command has decided to reactive 5th Tank Brigade again, possibly due to large influx of Western-donated tanks and successful tank restoration process abroad. The brigade is rumored to receive Western-donated Leopard 1A5 or M1A1 Abrams tanks. If that’s the case or not, we have to wait and see.

Based on that link, I count 4 Bradley’s, of which one was destroyed.
All four have probably been dragged back to a UA repair yard by now to be fixed, or in the case of the destroyed one, salvaged for usable parts.
