A Ukrainian soldier detailed how he and his comrades used a U.S.-supplied Bradley IFV to attack a Russian T-90 tank, with footage showing successful strikes against Russian targets. The Bradley has been effective in taking on Moscow's forces, with reports indicating that Russian soldiers are afraid to launch operations when they know a Bradley will be against them. The interview with the Ukrainian crew provides a personal and detailed account of the encounter, highlighting the impact of American-supplied Bradleys in Ukraine's military efforts.
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.
A video shared by the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces shows a Russian T-90 tank falling off a cliff and becoming stuck, making it an easy target for attack drones. Ukraine has been using cheap hobby drones fitted with explosives to target expensive Russian equipment. The successful strike demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of these drones, which can severely damage tanks and weapons systems worth millions of dollars. Russia has suffered significant equipment losses during its invasion of Ukraine, with over 2,200 tanks visually documented as destroyed.
Ukraine's security service, the SBU, claimed that its special forces destroyed 10 Russian tanks and an armored personnel carrier in the direction of occupied Donetsk. The video has not been independently verified, and the exact location of the purported strikes was not mentioned. The SBU also claimed that an armored personnel carrier was hit in the strikes. The news comes after another video went viral, allegedly showing Ukrainian forces striking one of Russia's T-90 tanks. On Saturday, Kyiv held discussions with American officials about upcoming U.S. military assistance, including weapons and ammunition.
A video clip showing a Ukrainian strike destroying a Russian T-90 Proryv tank has gone viral. The T-90M is an improved version of the T-90 tank and is considered one of the best main battle tanks in the world. However, Ukrainian forces have destroyed at least 15 T-90M tanks since the start of the war, using anti-tank guided missiles and innovative tactics. The video ends with a montage of a Russian news report touting tank deliveries to Ukraine, and the aftermath of the exploded T-90.
