U.S. Bradley fighting vehicles, despite being lighter, wiped out some of the Soviet-vintage T-72 tanks, a significant military milestone. Insult compounding injury. Can't help the chuckle.

Also, doing simple math -- If they eliminated 20 tanks and were outnumbered 2-to-1, they likely had about 10 Abrams and 2 Bradleys.
So, ten minutes to maneuver, acquire, shoot, maneuver, re-acquire (etc.) is mighty fine shootin'!
Wonder why the Air Force didn't put the ordinance on them when they spotted 'em? Or call in artillery? Seems to me they wanted the guys to have a live fire exercise. So be it.

No doubt with the help of a couple of TOW's.

That's got to make the Kremlin shiver -- two Bradley's killing five T-72 tanks.
