The devastating efficacy of the US Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) has been revealed in heart-pounding new footage from the frontlines of Ukraine.
An incredible clip shared by Ukraine's 109th Separate Territorial Defence Brigade showed how the expertly piloted Bradley saved a troop of Kyiv's soldiers from certain death, reducing three Russian BMP-2 armoured vehicles to smouldering wrecks.
The unit was defending the village of Stepove in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region when a group of Russian armour descended on their location, ready to rain down cannon fire on the Ukrainian positions.
Footage showed a trio of BMPs motoring towards the town, threatening to flank the Ukrainian positions - until the Bradley screamed into view and began blasting them with armour-piercing rounds from its 25mm cannon.
The Russian vehicles were torn apart as the Bradley's cannon smashed through their hulls and blew off their tracks, saving the defenders of Stepove from a bleak fate.
Another clip even showed the Bradley taking on a Russian tank - with resounding success.
The T-90 is among Russia's most advanced tanks on the battlefield in Ukraine, with Putin himself declaring it the world's best - but thanks to the Bradley's armour-piercing rounds and some precision gunning, it was quickly torn apart.
Tracer rounds were seen streaking through the twilight, illuminating the snowy ground and ripping into the tank, which moments later erupted like a firework as the ammunition inside ignited.

Music is Pantera. Notably NOT Nazi’s...
If they can get around behind a tank, they can rip open the engine compartment in a flash. Those 25mm shells are hard to stop. The armament is not called Bushmaster for no reason.
this is staged. Sorry but the bmp’s don’t even move. It’s to get the US all jazzed up - it’s fakerooski
A valid observation.
I, too, do not doubt that things would have played out quite differently, had Mr. Trump been in office.
However, I bristled at your initial statement, which appeared to completely exonerate Putin (a common theme among Putinists).
Sorry for the incorrect inference!

Bushmaster be dealin’.
Am I mistaken or was that guy in the bunker shooting an AK-101 (suppressed)?
