Footage Shows AFU Utilizing Bradley to Destroy Russian Infantry Fighting Vehicle

The Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) Ground Forces released a video demonstrating how Ukrainian servicemen destroyed a Russian infantry fighting vehicle with the assistance of an American Bradley infantry fighting vehicle.

The caption of the released video read, “Bradley armored personnel carrier dismantles enemy armored vehicles near Avdiivka.”

In the video, Russian infantry troops can be seen disembarking from a combat vehicle at the front edge, while the vehicle itself begins moving quickly. Ukrainian troops then opened fire with a Bradley, immobilizing the Russian equipment. Afterward, the footage depicts a Russian infantry fighting vehicle igniting as a result of being struck.

A Ukrainian aerial scout, commenting to Kyiv Post after viewing the footage, praised the clear, well-thought-out, and coordinated work of aerial scouts who detected the Russian landing party and the Bradley crew's actions.

From his perspective, Bradley operators would not have been able to detect and hit the Russian infantry vehicle on their own due to the significant distance involved.

The Ukrainian military officer revealed that aerial reconnaissance played a crucial role in assisting the Bradley operator in targeting and destroying the moving target, which is considered “the most difficult to eliminate on the battlefield, almost impossible.”
