A load of more than 60 Bradley fighting vehicles departed South Carolina for Ukraine last week as part of the latest $2.5 billion package in military aid that the Biden administration announced earlier this month.
The armored vehicle, named after World War II Gen. Omar Bradley, is operated by three crew members and can transport up to seven infantry around the battlefield.
It's outfitted with a 25mm automatic cannon, as well as a 7.62 Coaxial Machine Gun and an anti-tank missile launcher.
"The Bradley is a very powerful vehicle that we are providing to the Ukrainians," Army Lt. Col. Rebecca D’Angelo, the 841st Transportation Battalion commander who is overseeing the transport, said on Monday.
"This is going to hopefully enhance their capabilities to provide forward advancement in the battlefield and regain lost grounds, by having equipment that matches or exceeds what the Russians have."
After months of resistance, the Biden administration agreed to send 31 Abrams M1 tanks to Ukraine last week.
Germany, the United Kingdom, and other allied partners also announced they'd be sending their own tanks to help fend off Russia's invasion...

>intentionally loose lips. anything to get russia to do something (sinking armaments intended for a war zone) to justify open intervention.
This is what NATO is doing. They have nothing unless Russia goes on the offensive against American assets.
i am not sure there is any point responding to you. there is no US escalation you would not advocate, nor any potential consequence you would not deny as possible.
but for others following this, the concept is called ‘escalation.’ it works both ways.
at some point things heat up and we are in a full-blown war. then maybe buwawa will have new talking points about how it is russias fault or something.
i think the real clincher would be sorties from poland and romania. then infrastructure on the fields is hit, and we act like it is pearl harbor again.
Interesting. The only ‘R’s that have taken us to war all have the last name of Bush.
And perhaps Speedy in Texas can run a thread entitled "War on America. Documenting civilian losses from nuclear attack". I truly despise these azzholes.
i figure many of them, especially the sole-focus ones that will spam articles (or would until told to keep it in a single spammed thread) are just doing a job, and there may be less of them than there are accounts doing it.
Now they will have something to fill on all bomb craters in the Ukraine.

They literally blew up Nordstream trying to get an attack from Russia, but even Russia won’t take that bait.
speculation is they also wanted to take any exit ramp away form germany, possibly that was the main intent and certainly main driver behind timing.
but more generally once air sorties are flying from NATO countries, that is it. as crazy as it sounds, it seems the only way to definitely get russia to ‘cross the (imaginary) line’ while protesting innocence.
i bet it is close too.
>i bet it is close too.
yeah, these retards are going to get us all killed.
Because Russian submarines look like
