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%.

The ONLY statistic that matters is the number/percentage lost of those that are actually deployed into combat.
