TL;DR Summary

In northeastern Ukraine, a Ukrainian M-2 Bradley engaged a Russian T-90 tank, initially struggling to penetrate its armor with armor-piercing rounds. The gunner, Serhiy, resorted to targeting the tank's optics and using high-explosive rounds, ultimately triggering the T-90's reactive armor and destroying its optics, causing the tank to lose control and crash. The crew bailed out, with one member reportedly captured, and a Ukrainian drone later finished off the T-90. The skirmish highlights the difficulty for an infantry fighting vehicle to take out a tank in close combat, emphasizing the importance of skill in addition to equipment.
