Analyzing Ukraine's Loss of Bradleys in Breaching Operation with Armor Expert.
During a breaching operation in Ukraine, a platoon of four U.S.-donated Bradleys, a Leopard-2 tank, and two demining vehicles were damaged or destroyed in a Russian minefield. A third platoon of Bradleys attempted to rescue the stranded group, but it would have violated basic doctrine for such operations. An armor expert concluded that the Ukrainians performed as well as could be expected and as close to established doctrine as possible. The Pentagon will announce a new aid package that will include an unspecified number of Bradleys and Stryker Armored Vehicles to replace those lost on the battlefield.
