The big criticism of the Bradley was that it is so tall compared to Soviet vehicles of the time. This war has shown that range, accuracy, and firepower are more important than having a lower profile.
depending on the terrain, being tall might not be that big a deal. When there's a hill that you can take cover behind, it doesn't matter at all. The Bradley was incredibly effective during Operation Desert Storm, it is proving itself once more.
Being taller does have the advantage that you can usually see farther from the elevated position. So the height of the Bradley may help increase its effective range.
@@angrydoggy9170 Provided you find men. And training syllabus for Abrams is 3 yrs. That`s why undertrained UA crews ran away without closing the hatches shut a few times.
The AP round on the bushmaster can penetrate and kill T72, especially because of poor armor application and manufacturing standards. However, unless the rounds hit the ammo it wouldnt necessarily kick them off like we see with FPV drones or AT missiles. It often just disables critical systems or kills the crew outright. Ive seen what that 25MM AP round can do to armor up close. It cuts through it like butter. People think these Russian tanks are heavily armored and well built but thats just not the case.
Always nice to see Bradley doing what Bradley does! Accurate analysis Sucho! I wonder if the UAF was able to recover that T-72, if not, I'm certain the drone pilots had some fun lighting it up!
@@capturedflame hi, I'm just kidding, playing into the stereotype you likely have of Americans. This channel is fun, interesting, and in the world situation such as it is, inspiring.
It's likely the counterattack Ukraine mounted after they let the russian columns through towards Malaya Loknya a few days ago. As I understand it the UAF abandoned their positions along the road and allowed the russians to pass uncontested to guide them in to a minefield which obliterated the assault forces. Afterwards Ukraine moved back in to it's previous positions encircling what had survived. As I said, this is likely part of that counterattack where UAF retook Pogrebki.

Iraq had no T-80s in its arsenal in either the Gulf War or the 2003 invasion. (Or ever) It was most likely a T-72, because there was more than 1 occasion of the Bradley destroying Iraqi T-72s
The T72 might have been detracked and given the conditions on the battlefield, it is basicly a death sentence for a tank. My guess..the crew bailed. Warthunder teaching ukrainian crews where to hit russian armor:)
Would explain the performance of the Russian tankers, they use War Thunder as their tank simulator for training and they all think Stalinium is real and everything else is 1 shot material no matter where you hit it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was reported to be a trap movement, with UAF retreating to the higher ground to both W and E of the town - low ground - to create a kill zone (successfully).
It definitely can destroy a BTR or BMP we have seen that before and it definitely can destroy tanks probably a Mobility kill on this one and it probably got finished off by artillery or fpv drone if it use its tow missile it can definitely one shot a tank easily but a 25 mm gun can prob do external damage and possibly internal if it can penetrate weak spots or vital components
The impacts of the 25mm can cause internal spalling. Small bits of metal richocheting around inside the vehicle. After Desert Storm we had several Bradley gunners who claimed to have killed Iraqi T72s with AP DU rounds from the Bushmaster.
@shawnr771 yeah those were some pretty old basic T72 tanks. armor piercing discarding sabot rounds on the Bradley can penetrate up to around 100 mm so it could probably penetrate a lot of areas that are not heavily armored
Suchomimus do you make models? I just made a T72 and and now making a Ukrainian T64 with the hopes of a diorama in the future. I will have to do a Bradley too!
I used to do airfix models and similar. But now just do my model railway, I dont have the patience now for glueing and painting and sticking lol I do enjoy seeing different dioramas and stuff though. There was a model exhibition a few weeks ago I went to. Some great stuff there
I`m old enough to remember all the controversy about the Bradley during it's development. I think there is a movie about it as well. Turns out speed and firepower are a great combination on the modern battlefield.
Always amazed by how effective the TOW system continues to be. One of the things I always dislikes about the Bradley was the inclusion of TOW as it's main weapon.
I believe some Bradley’s are armed with an anti-tank missile? Good though they are their 30mm cannon can’t penetrate the armour of a tank, though it can mess up any camera or periscope so blinding it?
All Bradleys are equipped with a dual TOW launcher. The load out used to be 300 rounds of AP. 150 rounds of HE in the feed chutes and 2 TOWS. The 25 mm ammo can be flipped based on the vehicles Primary target designation. In the dismount compartment there used to be racks to hold 5 additional TOW missiles and additional 25mm under the floor plates.
tout cela pour 2 véhicules de guerre détruit ... alors, combien en reste-il ????? c'est pas très sérieux. je n'appaudis pas pour cette "prouesse guerrière" !!!!!
People are way WAY to focused on the, 'Why doesn the USA send more Abrams, more Bradleys'. When they should be asking, how is Ukraine going to pay for all of this and how long is it gonna take.
It's 40 year old equipment that is due to be destroyed. The value of the equipment is then paid to arms manufacturers in the USA to make new weapons. Ukrain doesn't receive any money at all. Why can't people like you work this out???
I don't think the video shows enough for us to say that the Bradley destroyed either vehicle. Looks like artillery strikes to me. I can't even find such a video as you made here on the combat forums which I frequent everyday, stop spreading misinformation please.
I thought the doctrine was to use western Tanks here, which could engage these BTR_82 & T-72's at safe distances of 2km+, using their better electronics. Why is Ukraine using Bradley's to do this at 300m?
The big criticism of the Bradley was that it is so tall compared to Soviet vehicles of the time. This war has shown that range, accuracy, and firepower are more important than having a lower profile.
Being smaller only works back in 1960 and earlier eyes in the skies prove smaller ain't always better.
Soviets: you are tall and easy to spot
Bradley commander: im not hiding

two TOWs are enough to catch the t72 and the bushmaster autocannon can easily deal with APCs
Very few APCs have enough armor to protect a crew from a 25mm Bushmaster.
