American-made Bradley vehicle obliterates ‘most advanced’ Russian tank touted by Putin
New drone footage shows the moment Ukrainian forces at the wheel of a US-built Bradley fighting vehicle blast a high-tech Russian tank to smithereens.
Video released by Kyiv’s 47th Mechanized Brigade shows the US-supplied vehicle hammering a Russian T-90 armored tank at close range in the town of Stepove in Donetsk — with the salvo disabling the target.
After the Bradley’s guns disabled the tank, an armed drone moved in for the kill.
The crew of the heavy-duty Russian tank survived the initial barrage, but two were killed after fleeing the wreckage and a third was captured.
The T-90, one of Russia’s most effective tanks, has struggled during the Ukraine war, with at least 27 of the armored vehicles knocked out of action or captured to date.
In all, Russia has lost 6,147 tanks since the start of the war, according to Ukrainian authorities.
The US has sent 190 Bradley fighting vehicles to Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022, and they have won rave reviews from Kyiv’s forces in the field.
“It scares them,” Ukrainian Serhiy Gavryliuk told CBS News’ “60 Minutes” in September. “When we hear their radio and they hear that Bradley coming, they start to run away.”
