Bradley destroys BMP with ease as Ukraine's 47th Brigade battle Russia near Avdiivka

A US-made Bradley fighting vehicle wrecked a Russian BMP in fighting west of Avdiivka. Drone footage shows the BMP carrying Russian troops to a tree-line they are hoping to seize. The troops are riding on the roof because the BMP has notoriously thin armour. They jump off and run into the trees, after which the BMP tries to escape from the battlefield. But it is caught by a Bradley of Ukraine’s 47th Brigade which opens fire with its 25mm cannon. Though small, the cannon packs a punch and is more than enough to get through the BMP’s shell. After several direct hits one round strikes the BMP’s engine, disabling it and starting a fire. The 47th Brigade said the Russians launched an attack involving two tanks and five BMPs. More footage shows another of the armoured vehicles after it was disabled during the attack. The drone unit of the 47th Brigade was then tasked with taking it permanently out of action. Video shows the moment a drone flew into the back of the vehicle, where the engine is. That caused it to burst into flames and then slowly burn to ashes. Russia has lost a huge amount of equipment in similar attacks since the start of the year. Hundreds of tanks and armoured vehicles were lost just to take the city of Avdiivka, and now even more are being used up storming towns to the west. Ukraine is being forced to cede ground because it doesn’t currently have enough ammunition or manpower to hold the Russian advances back. But Russia’s supplies are not limitless and it is expected that shortages will begin to bite in mid-2025 after which it will become very difficult to advance any further. #russia #ukraine #war
