Pretty much every story about this stupid war is propaganda, from both sides.
Oh goody!! U.S. manufactured weapons destroy Russian vehicles in yet another proxy war, while U.S. politicians, their family members, and their big donors make money off taxpayer dollars via their investments the military industrial complex
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
Trump's in office, Putin stays home. Same with Hamas.
Weakness foments aggression.
Not saying it is right, or fair. It just is.
They are repeating the Bakhmut fiasco.
I remember when the Bradley first came out and it was not well received, but I am always impressed now when I see it working.
Another video
Judge for yourself

crazy footage of T90 withstanding 25mm fire.
Cant confirm exactly what happened yet but it seems it stood solo against 2 or 3 bradleys and FPVs while taking a trench in an opertation
Comments from video
“2 bradley + 1 kamikaze FPV drone vs. 1 solo T-90M... but still they failed to destroy the tank and the tank crews was also evacuated”
“The tank blew up 2hours later, and the crew was in anothe tank already. The 3 three bradleys was destroyed along with their crew . ( It was 3, not 2. ) the ukr trenches was also captured. 5 POW survived, out of 16”
I have noticed that to. Mixing rock with rap is always disaster to the ear drums. Might as well bang a stick on a trash can lid.
All news from a war is propaganda.
Doesn’t mean it isn’t true. And it’s easily dis-proven or proved. Someone will look for blown up tanks.
Good thing they won’t be getting any export model M1s to reverse engineer.
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.
I have a tough time believing 25mm destroys a BMP and “blows the tracks off” the vehicle.
There are three APC and one T-90, Russia’s latest and greatest tank.
Gee whiz neato. /s
Yes it is over hyped but I did not see any actual tanks in the Bradley video.
Russian tanks have an auto-loader located up in the turret, with several rounds vulnerable. It’s a known flaw.
My presumption is these rounds were hit and the tank effectively blew itself up.
The BMP dates at least back to the 60s. Kind of a Russian M113, except with small arms ports on the sides that are plenty big enough for a 25mm round to fit thru.
That I can accept.
Poorly written article.
Good shooting for the Bradley crew.
For those who don’t know, he got the drop and angle on the BMPs.
The very same could have happened to him.
And the music in the video is the soundtrack for EU neo-nazis.
