How Bradley fighting vehicles help Ukraine | 60 Minutes 

So happy to hear that. ❤❤🎉🎉 I pray you stay safe! I know you will be victorious! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Be careful and be safe. I am happy we are supplying these weapons to Ukraine. As a defense expert with 43 years of experience, for those using tanks or the Bradley with the anti-tank missiles, hesitation, indecision and delay can lead to instant death. Those who are slow and indecisive and fail to fire first, almost always lose the fight. The vehicle who gets out the first shot normally wins. So commander and crew decisiveness and efficiency are very important. Sometimes you don't have time to think -- only react. So you do your thinking ahead of time and instantly react to the situation.

Ok. You're welcome brother. We all leave this world sooner or later, but no better way to go than taking 10 Orcs with you.

Slava Ukrainii

Bother, everyday I wonder why NATO doesn’t give you more weapons.. Your fighting the war they have been training for 75 yrs. You are the true defenders of democracy. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

I just watched the full video on the 60 Minutes website. It should appear on RU-vid a day later.

They will burn like other nato equipment

Russian news, talk shows and all other state media talk about attacking or invading other countries around them all the time. One day the claim Alaska is still theirs the next Kazakhstan is full of Nazi's and should be liberated and on another day the claim they should march on Berlin. They took parts of Georgia then they took parts of Ukraine and in 2022 they tried to take it all. People need to understand that every inch given to Russia is an invitation for them to take more.

No thanks.

Very true. Then they will be used as a weapon to attack Europe. Send everything they need for sure. Thanks Dallas, from Adelaide. Australia. You and I are very much on the same page on this issue.

We need to take care of home and the homeless

@@mariowatson1459 Ukraine's was has only been happening 1.5 years. Don't you think we could have done that (homeless care etc.,) before the invasion if we intended to?

I feel bad for the Ukrainian Maintenance company.

Look how long it took to "phase out" the M113. There's still a few in NG units. The Brad will be around a few more years.

It was definitely talked about.. until they saw how they are doing in Ukraine. The brad program isn't going anywhere anytime soon. They just updated ours to the A4 brad...and then again with the A4E1 at some point

Denver, Co. Still in this with you.

Slava Ukraine from Central IL, USA 🇺🇲

@@michaelkrynski7793 ayyyeee, let's gooooo lol

this is why IL needs to revise their education

The US wants to see Ukraine eliminated. No air support is coming.

All help is needed. Artillery rounds mostly. They could fire 10 times more. guided artillery is even better. Hit and scoot. Mine clearing is essential. It's the most mined land by now.

It doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. A direct hit blows up Bradley's, Challengers and German supplied tank! Abraham will be next. Ukraine can not win this war.... Most people are realizing this. If we are going to supply 4+4 pick-ups with smaller artillery and missles much faster and more manuverable! Much cheaper they all blow up anyway

I fear that is a misconception. Maybe that would be true if Ukraine received the most modern F-16s, who's radar can outrange that of the Russian aircraft patrolling above the battlefields, but I don't think that is what Ukraine is getting. AFAIK these will be older F-16s, and while better than what they have now, I don't think they will give Ukraine any capabilities beyond what they already have. They will just (a) replace aircraft they have lost, and (b) allow Ukraine to use western ordinance. Both are important, and that will save Ukrainian lives, but neither is game-changing. If we're honest, even the US would struggle to take full control of the airspace on Russia's border. The Russian military was specifically built to deny the US that advantage. The modern weapons that would instantly have a huge impact, like SEAD F-16s, F-35s or very long range ballistic missiles to take out military production facilities in eastern Russia (Sukhoi, Mikoyan, etc), are not things Ukraine will receive, or at least I don't think so.

none of it matters cus ukraine is just gonna lose anyway

...so naive

500,000 dead for corporate profits. There is zero chance of you going to heaven.

ukraine needs you , you should go and join foreign league of soldiers

Supporting Ukraine is one thing but trying to throw our country into a full fledged war is utterly insane. You should be medicated lol

Scammed 😅

Not to mention being a live fire testing ground for NATO, testing weapons against ruzzia and potentially China if they invade Taiwan

@@sirdiealot53 and not to mention sweetest part of all we get to use U kranians as cannon fodder to weaken our adversary for the cheap. Keep sending these.

@@BurntKittyForge-pl8ol Russian so salty when they cant defent even 5% of the us military budget worth of equipment. This really shows how one sided usa vs russia would be, when top of that 5% would come additional 95%.

Who gave the NAFO herd this 5% figure recently? They're waving it around as though it makes a damned bit of difference to the situation in Ukraine.

I am 2nd national to america. citizenship exam

Tell this to Ukrainians. It's easy being loud and glorifying them blindly out of bias. But sorry, I'll disappoint you.. The Bradley is far away inferior to BMP.

There's a good reason why the US is replacing their Bradleys with another vehicle.

​@@GegeDxDha ha ha. Cope harder.

@@ElwoodBluesAK actually they arent doing that anymore. they are replacing the turrets and putting a40mm cannon it. the only reason they would replace the bradley is because of age and not capability. especially compared to the bmp. we at bmp for lunch in our bradleys. the bradley is almost as heavy as the t72 because of it superior armor. the bmp is half again lighter and my 25mm cannon ripped the bmp apart. the bmp couldnt even hit us most of the time because our smaller cannon out ranged their larger cannon. our fire control system is also far superior and our optics are superior than anything in a bmp or in their tanks. i dont even think the bmp can see at night because its night vision is garbage in comparison. in fact bradley has flir and thermal. the bmp has what? the old school starlight type night vision. the crew in the back of the bmp have to climb over the engine to get out. no that doesnt slow things down at all. not to mention how cramped the bmp is comparisson with that little tiny turret with armor that barely stops a 50 caliber round. russia equipment does not stand a chance compared to western equipment. the funny thing is the people bias for the bmp have not even been in one and have never sat in a bradley and have not operated either vehicle. which makes me wonder how they even know what is better in the first place. reading the internet and playing battlefield 4 i guess. bmp is superior is one of the funniest things i have ever heard in my life.

Bradley IFV, Second to None

Yes the extremely poor journalist left out EVERY important part of your wise comment.

I'm a former tank commander. It depends on the round that was fired. If a Heat Round had been fired, it would have burned through.

125мм or ATGM.

no not really...how do you know it was a tank round? didnt you hear what ben hodges said...these bradleys are made for small arms fire and shrapnel's but not 125mm shells..comon man wake up..

Yes, 400,000 of them had courage. It's time to see sense, and sue for peace. The Bradley is a coffin.

Bradley Square in Robotyne tells a different story

It also help modernized the US armed forces by giving away old and used equipment to Ukraine. Now they can manufacture new equipment, use newer ammunitions, etc...while also assisting Ukraine destroy Putin's army....what a bargain.

Americans are as usual taking lives by encouraging needless war.

Bot

America is not bad

@@angelachanelhuang1651 In international affairs, America almost always does the wrong thing. But tremendous natural resources, and an open society draw poor people from all over the world to come.

@@darwel007 In this case the US absolutely is in the right. That is unless you support genocidal dictatorships like Russia and China. And in this case you are either supporting Ukraine's fight against tyranny, or you are helping those dictatorship to shape the world to their liking, knowingly or not.

They've lost nearly 55 bradleys so really it's not more effective or cautiously, they've basically stopped using them how NATO/USA wanted them to which was combined arms with Leopards and Challengers. They are using them to transport infantry and support infantry attacks, not much BMPS/BTRs can do against an ATGM/mine. They've been using alot less leopards in the south because they are so easily disabled by artillery, mlrs, atgm etc etc. It's more to save the vehicles they have and they desperately need.

@@daemon7225that opens up a good discussion on how the US/EU could learn that combined arms in Ukraine situation might not be the right move at the moment.

Any tank or IFV will be a sitting duck to atgms if there is no air support,like the NATO doctine

@@user-ln4pq1mg5r yeah. The fact Ukraine has little to no air cover or support is one of the biggest reason things are going how they are

​@@daemon7225Russia still has a very potent air force and because of Ukrainian air defence they offer little assistance on the ground so this argument is getting a bit old. Their helos now don't even come near the front

Yep! That's the narrative the US uses to have a money making proxy war in Ukraine ! If the US hadn't broken the treaty, the Russians wouldn't have invaded.

🤡

To be slaves???? Do you know that Ukraine was richer than any republic of former SSSR. Я вижу ты написал что ты русский , зачем же ты несешь такую глупость???? Украина была сельская а вышла из союза одной из богатых стран Европы! Почти вся промышленность Союза была построена на Украине, и руководители страны тоже были из Украины.то что она все разбазарила и теперь воюет тоже часть ее вины и недалекого ума! Знать английский хорошо ,но писать глупость это тупость! Читай! Учись!

@@larissaleiferman230ok but none of that takes away from the fact that a country can decide for itself who it wants to ally with.

@@wobblefoot7607Like Cuba?

Also more mobile anti air and f-16 are also coming. They need everything to win including economic support and aid to boost their domestic arms industries

The Ukrainians need to fight like the Viet Cong in order to win the war.

The US staged the coup in Ukraine in 2014, And now there's a war because of that.

Oh is that why Russia had only 1 tank at Victory Day parade. Their elite 1st tank guard was all stolen by farmers with tractors. 😂😂 pathetic.

Sounds like the largest millitary donator to Ukraine, is actually russia themselves!

total lie

​@@fisherbuys1Actually the truth. Ukraine has captured at least 551 tanks going by video and photo evidence. Some were useless and instead scrapped for parts or converted into something else. I'd say around 400 at least were in usable condition or repairable.

Rusky only care about the toilets and refrigerators 😂😂😂

Yep and now Russia proves it to the world. This is why CBS made this propaganda film now.

It is terrible against IEDs. It is fantastic as what it was designed to do. Support the infantry, who support the Abrams. And some other things: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Eyx9myLaiqM.htmlsi=YILhHKiE7D56zc26

According to putin it was 5000.

I don't understand why we don't give Ukraine more weapons faster. Especially, after Ukraine called the Russian nuclear bluff.

It's just the stockpiles of primitive weapons Capitol hill is allocating to these foriegn countries...we've still got the good shyt.

Send yourself to Ukraine. Don't drag all of us in.

best money spend

Biden 😂and belenzky corruption

Cope and seethe from ukrainianbots....both sides are fighting for the J

Yes, the Russian bots are out in force. You can spot them a mile away.

We could build fleets of Liberty ships and send them in convoys to Europe.

Ukraine already built artillery ammunition factories in the west. It will take a decade before they can scale production up to useful numbers of shells. The factories are all well within range of Russian cruise missiles.

The "lord" has told you that Satan is the God of this world, read much?

Of course. Evil people don't like peace. We never expected you to call for piece. Bloodthirsty villain.

Yeah, you'd rather Ukraine fight till the last man which is what will happen. A waste of lives and resources.

The General reacted a little testily to the question about a long war. He said 7 months.

​@@masterlightjames950 we are vengeance. Who invaded who?

@@masterlightjames950 Evil must be confronted not negotiated with. Hence why Russia must be defeated.

"which enraged the Russians"..as if you know what Russians think

​​@@briant5685it's called "Help I'm stuck in a Russian troll farm and they're holding my family hostage and I'm forced to simp for the regime", starring you.

Ukraine threw wave after wave on little Robotyne, sacrificng their last reserves of the offensive. The russians were preparing to lose the area. I strongly doubt the massive losses for Ukraine enraged the Russians.

@@ameerhamid89 "your a bot".. the equivilant of a child sticking its fingers in its ears and humming a tune ...to block out something they dont like

It's aluminum, not steel.

@@wyunaboy the frame is, the armor plating, the tracks and the turret are various forms of steel with ERA blocks over them. Regardless, 40 year old technology is no match anymore for Hunter/killer drone technology.

Not even that, most of what's been sent was from already-paid-for drawdown. This stuff was literally made years ago for the sole purpose of taking out russians - and now it is.

Nice CIA talking points.

Dude, the Ukrainian Army has been annihilated with over 350,000 casualties. The Russian Army has yet to even use any of their modern tanks, weapons, and munitions. They have over 2 million in active reserve standby just waiting for the word.

Ukraine hasnt destroyed sh*t and it costs the us taxpayer way more. Because you will have to buy more vehicles in the fiture to replace the ones from the reserve you gave to the ukrainians. You also gave them above 170 billion in economic aid and it appear you will be giving them more. This may grow to a trillion one day who knows. Currently the salaries of many working in ukraine's civil services are directly paid by the US.

If that is true then why hasn't Russia take over all of Ukraine? Any modern country has a half of a percent of the population in an active duty force, meaning Ukraine would of started the war with 200,000 active duty. Russia had approximately 750,000 with a GDP of 4 percent spent on defense. On Oryx, which uses visual confirmation on equipment, Russia has depleted their tank force and had to to pull T-55 and T-62's from storage.

I don’t hear anyone crying for Sadam.

You sound fully vaxed.

@@marksimpson4215 what on Earth? You traitors are absolute jokes

Read about the genocide in Volhynia

What do you want the West to send again? They’ve sent almost everything modern that they have for conventional warfare to Ukraine probably except fighter jets which the Ukrainians are still training on them. The problem with most of you is that, you overestimate the western military capabilities whiles undermining everything non-western. The only thing that the west haven’t sent is nukes.

@@109scooterman Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in "what about…?") denotes in a pejorative sense a procedure in which a critical question or argument is not answered or discussed, but retorted with a critical counter-question which expresses a counter-accusation.

America could do a lot better... Ukraine needs longer range weapons and better weapons not just some junk they don't want anyway

Well said! The misinformation about the money spent is mind blowing. Most of the equipment sent is written off surplus equipment which has been financed and developed during the Cold War and repurposed over and over again during the 20-year long war in the Middle East.

Yes, because they’re now over the Surovikin line.

They went over to the other side but it wasn't Surovikin.

@@jerryhall5709 yes, it was. They’re confirmed to be over the first line, and probably over the second, as we have footage of Ukrainian vehicles about 5 miles last the anti-tank ditches and dragons teeth now.

It's no doubt they have managed to cross some physical obstacles on foot, taking heavy casualties. But that's how far they're gonna get. It would be wise of Ukraine to sign a peace deal.

@@jerryhall5709 no, they filmed assaulting Russian trenches with their Marders and Strykers behind the second line of defence, and we have confirmed reports of Ukrainian troops in northern Novoprokopivka too in the last 72 hours. Ukraine should keep pushing, especially after their continued strikes against the Black Sea fleet at Sevastopol

Ok first Ukraine is not under any means democratic. They are not going to have an election this year and zelenski has made a lot of authoritarian choices( ie banning other political parties). As a united states citizen we get absolutely nothing from helping Ukraine, its actually a detriment to us to do so. Second china cannot attack the untied states by any means other than economic or nuclear, in both cases they loose that fight as much or more than the united states. The best possible thing we can do in America is focus on domestic issues for the next 40 years and let the other countries squabble.

Yea. It isn’t by choice trust me.

...no, thought it was a comedy called on a horseback in Afghanistan 😂

I was actually on the development team early 80's. Contrary to popular belief, we could actually swim a Bradley. Really tough platform. Made for fighting in Europe.

"Pentagon Wars" is a work of fiction loosely based in reality. The "fighter mafia" was a group of sociopathic morons, that impeded the development of useful equipment like the Bradley. These myths were a lot more prevelant in the 2000s and 2010s, but today I'm happy to say their mostly debunked and widely viewed as they should be. Ask around some defense communities about Pentagon Wars, you'll find out why it's fiction.

Well, it's a comedy movie not a documentary. I hope we can agree on it.

Taliban RPG gunners have destroyed so many of them during the disastrous NATO invasion of Afghanistan,

@@shreeraaman1667 I'll just point out the Taliban never beat the US military. Heck, when the Taliban retook the country, they did it largely without fighting. More a large propaganda campaign where the ANP just surrendered. Even then I'm not aware of any Bradleys being deployed to Afghanistan. Just MRAP and HMMV. So you're really showing your colors here. But also, the RPG can take out litterally every light vehicle. BMP, BMD, Warrior, Bradely, Puma, etc. They're light vehicles for a reason. This is like a Western person trying a "got ya" by saying the AT-4 is blowing up BMP. Not really impressive. TLD: What you said is dumb. Very, very, dumb.

The General didn't like her questions. Let me repeat myself.

Nevermind all the koalas that were burned alive. They didn't have a 110 story building to jump out of to escape the flames. Koala lives matter (in my American accent).

She’s an international war correspondent that lives in Turkey and works for CBS. How is her nationality relevant?

@@trentcook8021 I'd be more worried about the tens of thousands of American's dying needlessly from gun violence every year than our koalas being burnt in bush fires, we can at least protect them unlike your fellow citizens, saying in my best Australian accent!!

@@trentcook8021 What??

True to that 🇷🇺🙏❤️

Ru was not forced to invade; Putler made that decision. Money will always be made from war because it instigates supply needs, but that does not mean the need for supply instigates the war. The want of resources on the other hand will instigate a war or invasion. Ru annexed the DPR and LPR because they had over 110 mines (since only 5 are still functioning due to poor management and employees being sent to the meat grinder.) Crimea is strategic for the entire Black Sea.

On the other hand, there are journalists, who want to report news from the field. They come to Ukraine and talk to regular soldiers. US supplies Ukraine with weapons, and the journalists want to be sure it is used as intended, right? So there is actually pretty impossible to find any sign or evidence the video promotes anything. There are plans to replace Bradleys in US army. They are not produced anymore so I guess there is no need to promote them. With respect; just applying some logic.

Bingo

HA HA HA! OMG! Did you watch anything of this?
