      @@maryginger4877 it wasn't really debunked. the title is misleading. the fact is that the Bradley was able to fight off this tank in direct close range combat. by blinding and deafening it's occupants, destroying its external sensors and optics, setting off its ERA and seemingly jamming its turret control mechanisms along with steering. this lead the tank to crash into a tree and remain still further suggesting the extensive amount of damage it received. shortly after a drone was sent as well, but there is no indication that the tank wasn't already out of action. the crew were able to escape but the tank was not recoverable which makes the claim that it was destroyed by the Bradley technically valid/plausible. it was certainly not "debunked."

    As a former Bradley Fighting Vehicle gunner, the last 'battlefield taxi' vehicle fielded by the US Army was the M113. The BFV is designed for battlefield survivability and to fight the quick moving armor fight against other IFV and even main battle tanks.
    That UKR crew did exactly what you are supposed to do when you run into a tank at close range.
    The driver starts maneuvering and the gunner blinds the tanks.
    Used to be the 'blind the tank' was done via smoke grenade launchers. But a 25mm HE to your vision blocks and optical targeting systems.

      @@USS-SNAKE-ISLAND unless getting Gaijened is a real world thing, I am pretty sure that HE cant actually pen the frontal armor of the original model of T-90, without ERA.
      Now, and this is giving the Ruskies the benefit of the doubt, the T-90M has more frontal armor (appearance wise) in the turret's design, at least look significantly more chunky. Now, going off of what we have seen so far, budget cuts are everywhere and some ERA blocks have a rubber filler rather then explosives and/or metal plates inside, which makes me think that the added armor to the turret might be hollow, which is a decent defense to HE and some older HEAT, as that would technically be spatial armor- which both HE and HEAT have historically had a lesser to no effect on spaced armor.
      Considering one brick of explosive armor seemed to have cooked off, this crew may have been lucky in that regard, but I cant imagine how disorientated that crew was after getting railed by HE rounds.
      As for the gyro, thats for the gun itself, not the turret since its not an oscillating turret. Now it is possible that the turret's motor could have been rattled up, or something along those lines.

The 25mm does not remain, "locked on target"; It's gyro-stabilized. The most common version sent to Ukraine is the M2A2 ODS SA, an early 1990's variant.

    There's a couple of things wrong with this video. I watched this last night and come back to it this morning, so this is from memory.
    - The title of the video. While Bradleys typically go into battle with a group (squad) of infantry inside of them and they do typically drop them off when entering the battle, they don't f off afterwards, so they're not a taxi. A Bradley is an IFV (infantry fighting vehicle) which means it stays and provides fire support for the infantry squad it has dropped off. When you say battlefield taxi you're thinking of an APC which basically is the predecessor of an IFV and does the same as described above except it f's off after dropping off its infantry squad thus making it behave like a taxi.
    - The way the host pronounces Abrams
    - The way the host pronounces TOW (he spells it out it's pronounced as a word, just like the verb. Has the host seriously never heard somone pronounce these words before?)
    - The suggestion that the T-34 is the "world's greatest tank" (WW2 examples certainly aren't, watch Lazerpig's video on it).
    - The suggestion that Soviet tank design/production fell off after the T-34, while the Soviet's were the first to make a tank with composite armor (T-64's turret) which kickstarted the concept of MBTs.
    - Seriously the Soviet's had loads of firsts including IFV's with the BMP.
    - The suggestion that Russian tank troops wouldn't know how to shoot the main gun.
    As mentioned at the start this is not an exhaustive list, this is from memory from watching this video yesterday.
    I've been kinda ragging on the guest speaker so I'll point out one thing I think he's spot on about and deserve's some props for: Coordination in battle is hard, so the Bradley's succesfully pulling it off is a significant feat and one of Russia's serious deficits.

      On paper, it be deadly for a Bradley to stick around with enemy tanks in the area. A 120 mm gun would vaporize it. There is another version of the Bradley and I forgot what it is for. The T34 was the best all around medium tank for the condition. with slopped armor and easy to maintain unlike the German tanks. I am not surprised the Russians skimmed on training their crew. This war is a great opportunity to use up all the old TOWs before the end of their shelf life. We need something fire and forget which TOW is not. Russian engineers have different design philosophy than western designers, they have less money to work with and they do not take creature comfort as seriously. But when there is a need for it or if they feel like it, their engineering are world class. They are also behind in electronics and automation.

      You have to be sitting still when you fire a TOW. Also, its like a sniper where you are monitoring a kill zone hopefully near maximum range and when you do fire the gunner must keep the cross hairs on the target until impact, which depending on the range can take up to 22-25 seconds.

I never fired a TOW from a Bradley, the only advantage of the ITV was reload time, but it is unrealistic to think any veh would get off more than 2 TOW Missiles. Great for long long standoff. Hulldown only. But the backblast was just a big invitation for incoming projectiles.
      The crews here were wise to run and gun and target the optics, if they can't see they can't hit.

      After the Battle of Kursk, the T-34 already showed its deficiencies because it wasn't effective against German heavy armor, especially at long range. The Soviets went to design the T-44 as a result, which later turned into the T-54/T-55 which was much more revolutionary. However, the biggest leap forward was the T-64. The western obsession with the T-34 is nonsensical.

      The missiles were a guard against surprises and give the APC a chance to survive if it ran into tanks, APCs have no business fighting tanks. If you ran into tanks, and you already used up the missiles, you better hope the infantry with you have some LAWs, or you can call up your Hellfire/TOW/Javelin dealer fast while you escape at top speed. Shooting out the sensors will work, (for any tanks) but it takes time and allow the tank to take a couple of shots at you.

    I got more info from the Ukrainian tanker than the “expert.” He added zero to the convo.

      Weird how a tank commander haven't heard of anti-tank minefields and mine-plows and the reason why they all follow each other? You go in the tracks of the vehicle in front of you until it goes boom, then you go until you go boom and so on and so forth until all the ruskie armor is gone.

      Agreed. His "expertise" is questionable at best.

    Japan ran into the same problem in a war of attrition; planes could be built quickly, but pilots could not be trained fast enough.

    Its not a Taxi, and the Russian tank was being tracked by drones, and had no support. I am sure they were focused on the drones, and by the time they saw the Bradley they were shooting blind. T-90's are great tanks if they have the trained crew, proper protective armor and support they need. If you would have put an M1 or a Centurion in the same situation of taking fire from both drones, and a couple of IFV's with an inexperienced tank crew, you would probably end up with a blown tank. I have seen videos of successful Russian tank operations where they used t-72s behind a t-62 turtle tank, the difference is that they were supported by infantry, artillery, and helicopters. It was not the tank this time it was the tactics.

    5:41 it’s hardly a cleaver trick. Pretty obvious I would say. It was my very thought when you were describing it.

    The 1991 borders MUST be returned.

    Russian propagandists are perfectly aware of the targets in Crimea.
