America's 25mm Bushmaster Unexpectedly Slays Putin's Armored Beasts

Russia’s T-90 tank was once hailed as the best in the world—a fearsome combination of firepower, advanced armor, and cutting-edge technology. It was supposed to dominate the battlefield, embodying Russia’s military might. But on the frontlines in Ukraine, the T-90 has been anything but invincible. Instead of crushing its enemies, this once-vaunted tank has become a symbol of Russia’s military failures.

The turning point came when a viral video captured a moment that shocked military analysts and the world: an American-made M2 Bradley, far less powerful on paper, outmaneuvered and disabled a T-90 in close combat. The Bradley’s relentless barrage forced the T-90’s crew to abandon their tank, exposing the vulnerabilities of what was supposed to be an unstoppable machine.

This failure has rippled through Russia’s war strategy, as the loss of these tanks hits hard, both on the battlefield and at home. Even more alarming for Russia is the fact that they are running out of these advanced tanks, unable to replace them fast enough.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has found an unlikely hero in the Bradley. Originally designed as an infantry fighting vehicle, it has proven to be a game-changer against Russian armor, providing a powerful counterpunch to the T-90 and an unexpected hope in a blistering conflict that keeps evolving dramatically by the day…

Bradley vs T-90 is like the ancient Greek story of Cyclops; you don't have to kill a fearsome beast outright, you just have to blind it, then deal with it at leisure.

Everything the T90 had when it was brand new was ten year old tech to the US. Russia will never be equal to the Us in tech. They can not even be considered " near pier" to the US.

Russia‘s army - the second best army inside Russia.

As Americans we ourselves dont know which weapons work well in situations vs other weapons in other situations. The himars bradleys and javilins surprised our military too. The Ukrainians have taken theses tanks and other modes of transport and tweeked them a little and man . In the future westpoint will be asking Ukrainian generals to come make speeches on that. Just watch. Ukrainians operate these weapons flawlessly

The war in Ukraine has shown Russia to be a laughing stock. Russia may “win” this war, but won’t be feared by NATO - probably indefinitely! IMHO, this knowledge has been worth the billions we have sent to Ukraine.

"The Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicle or Infantry Mobility Vehicle is an Australian-built four-wheel drive armoured vehicle"

[Warhorse]

The Bradly vs T-90 is the perfect example of when you steal your parent's credit card to get the highest-tier vehicle without having any idea how to use it versus someone who's stuck to the same vehicle from day one and has mastered its abilities.

According to Russia all their systems are unbeatable 😂😂😂🤪

Was Mechanized Infantry. There was a love hate relationship with the M2A2/3. If you were lucky you got the A3 model with "air conditioning". Most of us were in A2 models and just baked inside waiting for the ramp to go down. The Bradley crew on the other hand, "Death before Dismount".

The Bushmaster is an Australian designed and built Protected Mobility Vehicle that serves extensively in Ukraine. It’s similar to an up-armoured Humvee. The completely unrelated M242 Bushmaster is a 25mm autocannon used on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Confusing isn’t it!

To paraphrase “It’s not the tank it’s the skill of the crew.”

T90 is the best putinland can knock up, yet fears a 44 year old Bradley.
eXPECT THE POOR SOD OF A DRIVER STILL HAS TO CHANGE GEAR WITH A BIG HAMMER

[philliprollo]

It's not just the T90 it's self. But the crews operating the tank and the tactics the Russians use which makes it more vulnerable.

[sundragon]

Curious about the T-90's armor. The assumption is the T-90's armor is built to spec. But what if it was not and substituted with inferior materials in order to skim the cost difference to pad some other guys' wallets. Interested if intelligence assets took some apart for study.

[steveosborne]

You are quite right between 90 has a very impressive gun unfortunately the targeting systems are way below those of NATO countries

[alextyndyuk]

Largest country in the world struggling with a much smaller... Must be embarrassing.

[Ubique]

Once hailed as the best in the world???? By who????

[goiterlanternbase]

What you mean by unexpectedly? The Russians reusing the cooked up chassis, so the armor has the quality of a Lotus cake.

[benvandermerwe]

The T-90 has never ever been considered the "best tank" in the world by anyone. 😂😂😂

[Iskelderon]

Gotta be embarrassing to get your ass kicked by a glorified taxi.
