Kiev forces have lost at least four American-made M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) during recent battles with the Russian military in the Donetsk direction.
Videos showing the vehicles being damaged or destroyed were posted to social networks between July 28 and August 3. Two of the vehicles were hit by Lancet loitering munition, one was struck with an FPV suicide drone and another was decimated with Kornet anti-tank guided missiles.
The four vehicles were all targeted to the northwest of the town of Avdeevka, where the Russian military has been advancing for the last few days.
Since last year, the United States has delivered around 300 Bradley IFVs in addition to four M7 Bradley Fire Support Vehicles to Kiev forces. Around half of these vehicles have already been damaged, destroyed or captured by the Russian military.
Kiev forces first used its Bradley IFVs in combat during the failed spring counteroffensive of last year. The vehicle performed very poorly at the time.
The U.S. later upgraded Ukrainian Bradleys with add-on explosive reactive armor. However, the IFVs continued to be defeated by the same Russian weapons.

the nazi of the azov were booed in prague , as they should
why are they in prague to begin with? sounds like cowards
because the czech president’s a cia asset.
they should have been lynched.
at least they could have skinned their tattoos off and made door mats out of them.
they should have been called gay.
the western failure since the exit from afghanistan seen before our eyes
we no make anything–china make lego amerika make lgbt
bradley game changer talibanned but impress lgbt in france
and russia hasn’t suffered a single loss of men or material this whole time.
heck, those were not even real prisoners they just swapped for.
russia will still have their gene pool left intact, for future generations. can ukraine say the same?
can. malorossia and novorossia are parts of russia, they will be resettled as it was several times in history after mongolian invasion in 1237 or the 3rd european union of mad adolf in 1941. novorossia wasn’t settled before the end of 18th century apart crimea. steppes around donetsk were named the wild field, because there were nomads only, crimean tatars crossing this territory to raid russia. yekaterina ii ordered to build new cities, now some of them have over 1 million people inhabitants.
their gene pool was too mixed up with german nazi losers from wwii to be of any value, like in denmark and norway.
of course it is well-known that both sides suffer losses in a war. don’t understand the point of your statement.
he’s trying to convince the world that grasping at straws is an olympic sport.
could be in france it is, but he’s too late to compete.
in france’s olympics, grasping at something other than straws is quite commonplace.
have you petitioned the olympics to make grasping at straws an accepted sport?
the problem is how expensive these bradleys are, their survivability is no better than any other type of armour under drone warfare.
that’s why storm troopers use moto- and quadrocycles to take trenches + art.support. it becomes common practice like using of tank with jammer and attached mine sweeper + 1-2 ifv or apc to deliver troops to trenches.
i like in the videos how the loser ukro-nazi rats run for their lives after their vehicles are knocked out!
you tube: radio tapok live 2023….not recommended for amerikan fascist
sounds like some tv game.
bradleys are so tall, no over the horizon radar’s even needed.
nothing more needed than hitting that first rut of thousands in a ukrainian road and they tip over on their own.
to sum it up, ukraine’s in a rut and spinning its wheels going nowhere.
i love these videos of russia’s greatest hits!
tunnels and underground facilities increase as drones become ubiquitous–used by japan in ww2 dprk vietcong to defeat amerikans–now used by iran russia in ukraine and hamas in gaza–amerikan tech fails
utterly patrician choice with the classical music for the videos.
