Well, the Bradleys weren’t set to the Ukraine to just sit at a rear base looking pretty.

The U.S. has pledged 113 Bradleys, so at most 15% is 17 Bradleys. Fewer if not all the pledged Bradleys are in country yet.

“The U.S. has pledged 113 Bradleys, so at most 15% is 17 Bradleys.”

Source article says 16 of 111.

Anyone know the total of stryker and bradley’s pledged to Ukraine?

I assume strykers would not be used on an initial direct assault on Russian lines (?)

They may have been some older ones from Sierra Army Depot by Susanville CA. And who else makes BFVs?

So...the story was that Ukraine was supposed to get a minimum of 60 Bradley APC’s. That was the ‘advertisement’ of the Biden administration, which then got increased to at least 120 Bradleys.

The problem is that the 60 figure was a “MINIMUM” number. The report when they loaded the ship was 600 (that’s right 10x the minimum) got loaded in January.

Compared to the 5000 or so manufactured and in storage, it’s not a huge number. Combat losses of less than 10 Bradleys out of 60 is 15%, but out of 600 it’s not even 1%.

I saw a video today of the new Ukrainian tactic against drone attacks. The soldiers lay on the ground and play dead until the drone passes by.
The only problem is the video was shot by Russians who now know what they are doing. They can give them another 100 Bradley's and they will be burning in the fields within 10 days. A Bradley is a big target when it's traveling through a minefield with no air cover. There's no way this offensive can work if the Ukrainians can't provide air cover for their ground forces.
