I like the Bradleys pushing Chinese flag away from Melitopol at @3:10 . Actually somewhat realistic.

Дякую за відео. Слава Україні 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦.

Considering that the Bradley was developed with the intent of serving against USSR and taking in consideration how well it fared against Sadam Hussein's Soviet equiped Armored Corps, the existing evidence seems to reinforce this notion. Added to the fact that the UA is working with a Westernized way of warefare in combined arms it is very likely that it will make a difference if properly supported as part of units including MBTs and APCs and dismounted infantry. Now if we could just give them a cool 100 of them!

I noticed this also. Ooops.

They have been reduced to a chinese client state at this point.

Well, hopefully Ukraine will keep going east and eventually get round to dealing with that enemy... ;)

Well, we can say BRADLEY & HIMARS can't we?

Ukraine usually send the dmged tanks back to the west. They cant fix them.

I feel this is similar to the Polish. I worked with a company some time back. We had an experimental system that we could use to work out waypoints on a digital map which was projected on a table. So a commander could walk his men through the upcoming area of operation. We didn't really use it yet but those Polish figured it out on their own in an evening. Bunch of macgyvers, those eastern europeans.

Looted and educated somehow doesn't fit together, don't you think? The USSR allocated 1 trillion rubles a year for Lithuania alone to exist, at that time the ruble was worth more than a dollar. Higher education, for which loans are taken in the USA, was absolutely free in the USSR, so people studied quickly.

​@@Пэээнчис That sounds like pure bullshit for multiple reasons. For example, it took the USA near 20 years to spend a trillion in Afghanistan and Iraq while having a massive military presence there. This was already at a much higher inflation level than the supposed one trillion per year from the USSR. If accounting for inflation we'd be looking at multiple trillions per year in current days money. Also, corruption. With the amount of corruption so far uncovered in the RFAF it stands to reason that a proporionate size of that money dissapeared. I just think you switched Billion and Trillion up and to be fair, given the GDP's om most former soviet countries, the USSR definitely banked on them.

@@attilamarics3374 Put yourself in their shoes. They are doing the expedient thing. In a jam, they can do it. In a previous life, they would me for assistance in troubleshooting a commercial airplane. With little prior experience, they were amazing.

I think more will come pretty quickly. They’re being phased out so I think they’re happy to let them do some good. They’ll let them get used to them, figure out the maintenance/support etc, then send more. Certainly another fifty, maybe more.

It is impossible to send a repair team, rockets will arrive there. The Russians have already destroyed all the enterprises for the production of armored vehicles, this is one of the reasons why Zelensky is begging. Ukraine has lost 2,000 thousand tanks during the entire war.

I think a lot of new tech will do more harm than good for Ukraine. If they get the Bradley piecewise, they can equip one or a few battalions at a time and still keep up pressure in the front line instead of rotating units back to retrain and supply new equipments

50 for starters. Hopefully another 50 in near future

It doesn't have to mean they are scraping the barrel, but it has visible effects. They are producing new shells though. As of attrition, yeah that's what usually happens when you have a defending country supported by almost entire world vs a country that stretches its supply lines over unfriendly terrain. Ukraine already won that type of battle in Kherson. Exit: you said missiles not artillery but we can count it as a similar thing.

@@scamdem1c Yes. Because he's got proof and can use basic logic, while most Vatniks assume that five fascists in Ukraine means that the entire Ukrainian populous are Nazis

The New York Times wrote about it. The main element between reconnaissance drones, armored vehicles and artillery is the Delta information exchange system. Well, now using tablets from the civilian market and this software - intelligence data on Soviet tanks, guns and BMPs are effectively used and there is a side-by-side exchange of data in real time. That is the kind of system you mentioned - it is already working on the battlefield, the powerful American infantry fighting vehicles will qualitatively strengthen our troops, but, apparently, the main control of the troops will still be carried out through the native system.

@@sancocho1718 you can also read about operation at the Izum (Ukrainian tankers were well informed about positions of the enemy because of drones) As a result - they were able to win tank duel and make an opening at the enemy's defence

"massively outmatch the russian capabilities" 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly right 4 of these with a challenger.

Is England sending enough Challengers to make it worth supporting them in theater?

Yeah because Challengers and Bradleys are useful in a war that primarily uses Artillery...........idiots.

A small number of Polish upgraded T-72s made Kharkiv and Kherson possible. The issue in Ukraine is they have a ton of resources spread very thin due to how big the frontline is. Not that much pressure is required to punch through when focusing it on a single point.

If it stays at 50 you are right. It won't do a whole lot. Hopefully though this is just the first wave. If Ukraine can get 500 with enough ammo by the summer they will be in position to take back a large amount of territory.

One small issue: You never asked our permission to pay for the new stuff. Forgive us slaves for not being enthusiastic when the master buys new whips!

Those Australian M113's are probably the best in the world right now. They've just been upgraded in a number of areas which includes an automated turret and more armor. Better than old Vietnam era M113's.

@@yakidin63 they are the most upgraded, but unless we are fighting some kind of poorely armed Guerilla group, they are pretty much obsolete especially when our military can afford much better, I'm sure other countries without the same capabilities who would be fighting smaller groups or terror groups. Any potential war in Australia or in surrounding countries would be impossible to use them as all of our neighbours' landscapes are thick jungle which makes them even harder to use efficiently. Also when it comes to old and outdated tech, sure you can upgrade it all you want, but it eventually gets to the point that you may as well just buy something better for the same price. There is a market and use for M113s, but not in a modern and well equiped army like Australia. But in places like the Phillipines of Indonesia with smaller regional conflicts against poorely armed insurgents, im sure the m113 would be very effective. The Filipinos found that out in their war against ISIS in Marawi

Oh yeah and who gonna pay for the replacement? And it isn't old they are actively upgraded It will cost billions to replenish the stocks = More printed money = more inflation

They could make this a mix of M2 Brads and M113 (ACAV version) in a mech company. Have one M2 per platoon to support them

Dude, 25 thousand soldiers of Ukraine were killed in one Soledar. Are you a fool or something? Ukraine has NO aviation, 380 planes and helicopters have already been destroyed, the Czech Republic and Poland transfer su25 to them. Every day, Russian aviation quietly takes off and destroys equipment and soldiers, without fear. Because the entire air defense system protects Kiev and Lviv. By the way, where are the bayraktars? They were destroyed back in July, 118 pieces. And the gas hub agreement with Turkey says that Turkey will stop supplying Bayraktar to Ukraine, and will terminate the contract for the construction of a plant on the territory of Ukraine. This means that Ukraine is losing 10 times more soldiers than Russia. Aviation decides dude.

You clearly have no logic if you see no sense in those words, you are simply a puppet.

The only main point he has right here... The US is mainly responsible for cooking up this war in the first place. Miss Nuland thought it all out for 2014... Without US meddling this entire conflict wouldn't have been in the first place. And the Crimea would still be Ukrainian.

Well, he's simply right. NATO fascism and their proxy Nazis ruind west Ukrain and its whole future meanwhile. Russia is no fan of that at all. They wanted the Nazis to stop the genocide in Donbass, that's all. Instead now west Ukraine is even more ruined than the Donbass, which will be rebuild, but the damage int he west is done by fascism, corruption and endless debt. You can't repair that. And all the dead young Ukrainian men and men in general will stay dead and with the millionsn who fled Ukraine, many of them taking their homeland with them, that's really not something an already poor nation which is now just a raped corpse, can endure.

You mean the near 500k casualties for Ukraine he pointed out? Or when Von Der Leyen admitted 100k dead in her recent speech? Ukraine is on their 10th mobilization and has public ally asked their embassies to force citizens to return so they can be drafted. Truly the US expects them to fight to the last Ukrainian.

CLEAR BACKBLAST

@@mikerichardson3960 man taking a bath sure is something to overlook when you've never lived that life. Bet you guys smelled like a pack of farm animals. 🤢

I guess that's a thing but probably a suicidal tactic with live rounds. And would have limited use. Due to the back blast of missiles particularly that extremely powerful Tow. It can seriously wound or kill everyone with their head out the hatch and possibly even someone down in the hull since the hatch can direct the blast down into the hull. I get the "side on" allows the back blast area to be clear for the man portables, but it makes the Bradely more vulnerable. And in a maneuver war it can't and shouldn't be maintained. It limits the movement of the turret and also focuses all the enemy's attention on the vehicle. Also rounds that strike the turret can wound or kill the dismount with blast and shrapnel even if it doesn't penetrate the turret or kill the Bradely. If the dismount actually dismounts, they can be just as devastating, allow the turret full motion and splits the enemies fire between the vehicle and the devastating accurate fire from that bush, this rock That group of trees, that roof top or window. Yes, the vehicle is the main target, but can the enemy maintain focus on it when missiles are flying accurately from multiple points at them, and their world and buddies are exploding around them?

You never get inside either.

It's also interesting to see how the USSR economy in the 60's was nearly equal to the US's, but when computers began to come into existence, the US pretty much catapulted ahead.

@@magnusbjarni If you needed someone to make tractors, the Soviets were a great option. They made rugged idiot proof equipment that was cheap to maintain and build, and the manufactured it endlessly. But they had odd, massive holes in their economy and their scientific community, including but not limited to semiconductor development and consumer/defense electronic development. Totalitarian societies are just odd creatures. Extremely efficient in some way, horribly inefficient in others. One of my favorite books is "The Rise and Fall of T.D. Lysenko" by Medvedev. Medvedev shows how early in the soviet union, Stalin purged nearly every credible geneticist it had (and it had some of the best in the world) and ended up instead putting Lysenko in charge, and man who's perspective on genetics differed greatly from the west's near universal acceptance of mendelian genetics. Efforts that had previously been in place to breed high yield, cold resistant wheat, were shelved in favor of Lysenko's random theory of the month that would change over time. He was a charlatan that crippled soviet agrigulture for decades. The Soviet's promoting of Lysenko lead to massive famines and horrific death and living conditions within the Soviet Union.

They have had about 400,000-600,000 men injured/fatal. Constantly asking for more money and more support. They have lost large percentages of their natural resources like the recent salt mine in Soledar. Monthly military call ups with the most recent being 100k. If the Ukrainians are really that much in the upper hand why is all this the case? And yes artillery is incredibly important. Russia fires around 20,000 artillery shells per day while Ukraine fires around 7,000 per day. It would be common sense to say that the side with more artillery controls more of the battlefield.

Dude, the problem is that there are no deserts in Ukraine, there are forests and hilly terrain. TOW can wind up on a banal thick branch, even five-story houses and for which Javelins failed, missiles lost their target and crashed into houses. There are very few Javelin videos on RU-vid.

The most fun we ever had in a Bradley was after they upgraded our engine because we were going to get reactive armor. We got the engine upgrade but didn't have the heavy reactive armor yet. I literally went airborne over a berm (full air), hit the ground, and set off the Halon inside. Was AWESOME! - Erlangen, Germany 1990's

As a 19D I loved my Bradley. The thermals were awesome and the firepower was impressive.

@@aarone1981 not really cowardly attacks, in war it's a matter of 'whatever works'.

@@aarone1981 every tool has its indispensable strengths and dealbreaking weaknesses even while a main battle tank may survive a mine explosion- it will lose all mobility and possibly some optics Combat engineers and mine clearing vehicles are the tools used for mine/ied clearance

@@grizzlynad But it's a different war. You can't get close enough to pull off that kind of thing, when you're the invading army, with ambitions. You have to give up on a battlefield victory and move to guerilla war. And ruZZia isn't gonna do that. That kind of tactic would work for Ukraine in this war, but not for ruZZia

This has been the same issue in the Indian subcontinent too. India has a mbt program which ended up providing a decent enough MBT with western type ammo storage. But the weight restrictions means the army is still forced to stick with T-90's... Which are you know..

Main issue I have seen being said is the bad mileage and tendency of the Abrams to break down. What I don't understand is why the USA hasn't send older M60's to Ukraine.

Also the fact that M1 Abrams literally does less than one mile per gallon of fuel. I highly doubt the Ukrainian has the logistic prowess of keeping them running.

Just wait until you find out how much the SEPV3 weighs compared to the V2 ☠️

@@ShantanuSuchil probably because the USA hasn't had the m60 in storage for over a decade....

The Russians have 26,000 tanks and armored vehicles 😳

@@tomstarcevich1147 all it took was the weak Macron to send outdated AMX10RC to start a new trend. US only sent 4 HIMARS first then 20 more. USA has 2000 Bradley in storage, cheaper to sent them to Ukraine then to recycle them

@@tomstarcevich1147 oh, so I guess we shouldn't bother then? And Ukraine dosn't want or need a squadron of western MBTs to play with?

@user-mf9ff4iu5d maybe 21,000. They are still reviving scrap equipment and building a few new ones.

Can't wait to see Chally 2s and Bradleys working together.

Used in a way nobody expects in a bad sense - Think like using the M113 in frontal assaults against prepared positions covered by artillery and tanks. If you came or a rational actor they would have just let people have their own language instead of setting out to commit genocide.

@@Mortablunt are you sure it is about the language and not ruSSia invading another weaker county, like they always did?

@@123supporter no no., he's right. The first thing Russia did after seizing territory was force everyone to speak Russian.

Thunder Runs. With the French light tanks and the Bradley’s ability to fight mounted, chances are they will be used for devastating thunder runs.

@@Mortablunt Majority of Ukrainians speak Russian???

The Leopard won't be there for months if ever..the UK has said they are sending Challenger tanks, those will be there for sure the Leopards are a pipe dream at this point.

Until the Ukrainians can receive western tanks and IFVs in large numbers, its probably best just to spread them out and use them as command vehicles to take charge of BMP platoons. Say for example one Bradley per 4 BMPs so that each platoon of BMPs has a Bradley to spot and direct their fire for them while using their cannon and TOWs for support fire.

You were in the Army, our guy here was in the army, you both know these machines are not made to work alone. We all know American war machine needs combine arm warfare to function at its best. Does Ukrainine have the training or the forces to support the Bradleys and not just toss them out on the field for Russian artillery to mince them to pieces? Considering Ukraine had the biggest amoured force in Europe aside from Russia ( so #2) and now they need Western tanks and IFV, then it's already over.

Dude ur 100% right. Not to mention where will they repair and service these tanks. Russia have destroyed all service locations hence y all tanks are serviced and repaired on Poland. No one item shirts a war or operates in isolation... Short of a nuke.

@@maxiejohnson8356 I believe they have MORE armor than when they started. Because of all the captured tanks. But everything both sides have over there is 3 decades behind the bradleys. And while, I will concede I was not in the army...I think the point was the tech gap. As far as maintanence? Couldn't say. But there have been ukranian troops training for months in many different countries, and we were already training them. I kind of figured that would be part of the point of us re-establishing positions in that area. Hey, come to Poland, get trained by Americans and combined NATO forces... Oh, that's weird, we just have these Bradleys, Patriot batteries, Abrams, etc.. positioned right in these countries to defend against "Russia Invading." Putin is crazy. Not stupid.

What's probably going to happen is that they're going to send a bunch of Urkainians to be Bradley maintainters either somewhere in a NATO country or the US to learn how to work on them. Then we''ll probably set up a repair depot somewhere in an eastern European NATO ally where the UJkrainians will send their Bradleys to undergo maintenance and repairs. This depot will probably be manned by a combination of experience Bradley mechanics overseeing newly trained Ukrainian mechanics with the goal of building up the Ukrainians experience so they can go back to teach and supervise their own people.

Years of training, just like all those hundreds of thousands of recruits in World War II...

But significantly upgraded in almost every aspect.

@@jic1 that is true. But visually it looks very much like someone imagine a hot cold war in mid 80s

The behind the M1A1 was one of the warmest places during winter training in Germany, the tank crews can set up a quick warming station top/behind the turret with a tent and sleeping bags. The M1A1 tank uses JP-6 fuel and its just like a kerosene salamander heater (clean exhaust). Scouts always come to the ass of the tanks when freezing.

It can't. 1) They're wasting fuel that way. 2) Nobody likes to breathe diesel fumes and exhaust. 3) Huddling, bunching up around an armored vehicles is against training if not practical experiences by this point.

@@tomcat6735 in the US they gave you thermal blankets and heat packs. You use them only when you can't light fireplace

@@sys3248 better than freezing to death- and it’s outside. This has been done forever by infantry.

@@sys3248 you're conflating OP's comment and that of tomcat67. OP never said they would stand around behind the Bradley, but rather, I think, suggested they could hop in and close the door. With regards to the fuel waste, that's true. However, if the Bradley is actively working its sensors to spot things in the area, I think it would need to idle anyway? Anyway, it's also important to keep your troops warm when operating in the cold, so they might opt to do it anyway - it comes down to a cost/benefit thing.

Maybe why Leopard 2 MBT are being sent. If Ukraine is capable of quickly adapting. Could be a hot knife thru butter

You sabotage their gas pipe and then you ask them to part take in this mess from which only you benefit.

@@amunderdog they learn to use panzer 2000 and cesar artillery and Gepard anti air so learning to use bradly mardars or leopard 1 or 2 would be no problem.

@@unai_asecas9070 Gonna need some evidence of US sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline beyond "Trust me, Bro."

@@amunderdog Is it official that Leopard 2s are being sent to Ukraine.

Pentagon Wars silly revisionist version notwithstanding.

The BMPs have proved pretty useless in Ukraine, as the Russians have lost a few hundred of them

Russia destroyed most of the Ukrainian NATO inventory as well as their weapon-making infrastructure in the first weeks of the war. No wonder Zelensky has to beg for guns and money (to be skimmed off) on a way too regular basis as his dead servicemen are his golden goose.

@@KishorTwist Nothing like the graft and asinine corruption and grift that have totally hobbled the inept Russians though.

Well they better make more then. 1/6 of the Bradley’s sent to Ukraine are already destroyed as of yesterday and that’s according to cnn. Also stick to helping countries that want help like Ukraine and send them aid not some random tribal country like Afghanistan

@@ssglbc1875 Oh, dearie me. Good thing the US has about 4,000 more, and a good thing EU countries also have more as well as many other similar vehicles. So, Ukraine lost less than 20 Bradley while at the same time Russia lost 100 similar vehicles. Uh, oh. This can't go on forever.

@@ssglbc1875 Well, while the US was making them, they made about 450 a year or about 9 a week. If they need more, it can be handled alright. No need to worry so long as you aren't a movic in a trench with no body armor or night vision.

Leopard 2 is extremely well armored. What are you talking about?

@@Yung_pindakaas LOL, they may never get Leopard, so a tank that is well armoured and is stuck in Germany is nowhere near as good as a Toyota pick-up with a machine gun that is in Ukraine. Germany sucks, they are a disgrace to NATO...

@@chrissmith2114 Finland and Poland are sending leopards you moron. Also comparing a leo2 with a toyota? Leopard2 is as capable of a vehicle as Abrams.

@@Yung_pindakaas Anyone who sends Leopards to Ukraine needs German permission to 're-export' those tanks, this is a legal clause in the original sale licence. Germany has shamelessly dragged its feet on supplying anything to Ukraine ( its original contribution was 5,000 helmets), as I said they are a disgrace and a parasite on NATO ( as Trump pointed out ). Germany, France and Italy all wanted Ukraine to surrender quickly so that they could keep getting Russian oil and gas, as well as continue trading with Russia, and some of the 'trade' was weapons, or parts for weapons. Scholz is a spineless coward, more worried about upsetting Putin than supporting Ukraine. Better to fight Russia in Ukraine than in Berlin, try explaining that to Scholz.

@@chrissmith2114 While i agree that Germany held back at first you cannot deny the aid Germany and France have given at this point. You would know that if you werent trapped in your retarded foxnews cycle. Germany has phased out all Russian Gas in months which honestly is pretty impressive. Meanwhile germany has given IRIST Marder Gepard BOXERRCH155s PZH2000s Armored Recovery Vehicles counterbattery radars just to name a few. France has supplied Caesars SPGs VABs BONUSrounds and now AMX10RCs. Also Germany has already said it wont stop poland and finland from suppling Leopard 2s. Its propably just gonna take a bit to get the agreements finalised and training started.

My guess is that four or five tip of the spear groups of tanks and bradley's will be placed up and down the line, which will keep Russia guessing as to which spear will attack first.

Exactly 💯

You'd be surprised how quickly the Ukrainians have been learning to use the kit we've been sending them. Months of training compressed into weeks. Wartime tempo training can compress a year's training into 10-18 weeks
