Recently, a striking video surfaced showing a Ukrainian-operated Bradley infantry vehicle engaging with a Russian APC in the heat of battle in Eastern Ukraine.
The clash took place at close range near the city of Povrovsk, with the 47th Mechanized Brigade of Ukraine’s statement confirming the incident.
The U.S. Department of Defense provided over 300 Bradleys to the Ukrainian military, with only the 47th regiment receiving Abrams tanks for their operations near Avdiivka, a former Ukrainian-Russian stronghold.
Footage shared by the 47th Brigade captures the Bradley engaging the Russian APC in a head-on confrontation, leading to the APC veering off the road after the exchange of fire.
The ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine, including the Donetsk Region, has seen heightened hostilities, with reports of new offensives by Russian troops in Kharkiv in May.
Ukraine continues to face heavy attacks, particularly in the east, where intense fighting persists, with the 47th Mechanized Brigade at the forefront.
