Ukraine: How US-supplied Bradleys destroyed feared Russian T-90 tank

Incredible footage has been released showing one of Russia’s most capable main battle tanks being obliterated by the firepower of two US-supplied Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in Ukraine.

The T-90 tank was described by Russian President Vladimir Putin as "the world's most advanced main battle tank".

However, despite being protected by explosive reactive armour, the T-90's weaknesses on the battlefield were exposed in drone footage that showed the vehicle facing the two M2 Bradleys.

Per a first hand account of the M2 gunner, he was not aiming for the base of the turret. He specifically aimed for the optics, blinded the T90, which then crashed into a tree. That's thinking on your feet.

I wonder how terribly loud it sounded in the Russian tank.

Never thought I'd see Bradley's fighting a main battle tank like thus, it turns out its hard to aim when ur getting pummeled by 25 mm

[Mutualititve]

The fact that the captain basically said that he learnt all of the T90 weakness by War Thunder is insane. War Thunder has not only involved in government secret files, multiple leaks but also an IRL war.

Imagine looking through your optic, and then all of a sudden you just start getting blinded by a 25mm Bushmaster

In interview, bradley crew said they were not planning to fight T-90, but when they saw it in optics... captain said, he instantly started recalling all weak spots of T-90 from games :))) and aimed those, also his armor penetration rounds were jammed at some point, , so he started to use ordinary ones to blind tank :)

And now I've read they want to upgrade the gun to a 50mm.

The russian crew likely had their optics chewed off and were fighting blind. Lesson here is if you have a standoff weapon you should utilize it. A long rifle isnt very effective inside of a phone booth.

The strange thing is why the Russian tanks are operating in single vehicles

I have seen many presentations of this video, but this is the first one that explained the engagement intelligibly. Thanks and well done!

Its odd how the prettiest thing in this barren landscape are the sparks coming off tank armor.

[mykillmetal]

According to the Bradley gunner in an interview, he knew where the weak points were from playing War Thunder. Not joking...

[johannesnicolaas]

Putin: I am so proud of our invincible T-90 tank!! The soldiers inside the tank: did he say that? My God, we are doomed!

[camus]

An armored tank alone with 0 support ? was he lost ?

[parallelsuns]

The Bradley is great in dogfights like this, the T-90 was completly overwhelmed and the crew had no idea what was happening to them

[kuhndj]

I don’t see any Russians on here talking smack about how the bmp is so great and the Bradley is a failure… wonder why that is… lol…

[ronaldmarcks]

How on Earth do the Russians think they will not have to pay for the damage they're causing in someone else's country?

[MrGraywolves]

Another vid exists of an interview with the soldiers in the Bradley. They were NOT aiming at the turret junction...they deliberately targeted the optics of the T90, effectively blinding it.

[DaddyHensei]

That crew was concussed after being hit so many times and the two in the turret were dizzy i bet. They didn't stand a chance, those bradley crews kept the pressure on the entire time.

[iggyreilly]

Are the Ukrainians using Bradleys (and not the most advanced version) as front line vehicles? If so, that has to change. Still, a tenacious use of support in a surprise dogfight. They took out the turret and optics, drone finished it. Glad the T90 was solo.

I saw the interview with the Ukrainian crew and the gunman credited the driver and his training including growing up playing video games.
