  1. TL;DR:

    * US-supplied Bradley vehicles have played a vital role on the front line in Ukraine, CNN reports. 
    * A soldier told the outlet Russia would’ve overrun positions if Ukraine didn’t have the vehicles. 
    * Ukraine is battling to fight off Russian attacks amid concerns that Western support is fading. 

  2. Send Ukraine some more of those thousands in storage

  3. The Bradley is one of those weapons that has come out favorably In this war, like Nlaws, javelins, bayraktars and small kamikaze drones. Surprisingly other weapons like main battle tanks seem to be of limited use. However each time one of these new disruptors makes a big difference, it gets countered… such as the bayraktar which we don’t seem to hear about anymore. This war, reminds me so much if the Spanish civil war, I’m sure like that war this one will massively influence the development of military technology…

  4. If only (putin’s) republican representatives would stop blocking aid we could get more of these lifesaving tools into the heroes hands

  5. I think the bayraktars now are just mainly observation platforms. I think they can stay up for over 24hrs if they aren’t loaded with munitions

  6. HIMARS are very effective and mobile but Ukraine is getting intelligence from the US about targets and so that makes it ten times as deadly. Pin point accuracy is hard when you just point and shoot as the Russians have found out. Shooting blindly seems all the type of artillery they have.

  7. As a proud former gunner in a Bradley, this brings tears of joy to my heart. I loved my sardine can. 🙌

  8. Watching these things in action is mind blowing. Just absolutely pummel large areas in no time.
    Get some real tanks in there to protect them and Russian orcs just gonna get pummeled

  10. They are APC’s taking out Russian main battle tanks, and can take a beating while keeping the people inside safe.

    send them all the HIMARS, Bradly’s, F-16’s, and storm shadows we can and lets get this over with.

    If Tump gets in office US aid will shut off and Putin is holding out for that.

  13. As always, supporting Ukraine would be cheap at twice the price.

  14. Kelsey Grammer owes the world an apology for *Pentagon Wars*!

  15. And yet we don’t just send them by the hundreds loaded with as much 25mm and tows as they can fit inside. Isn’t it neat that Republican congressmen (and voters) are just fine with kneecapping UA defense, allowing Putin to murder hundreds of thousands? Lmao!!

    The congressmen I’d expect. But the voters are the most contemptible part. Craven bastards.

  16. It’s all in the optics. A Bradley against a MBT is a tactical mismatch, but since the Bradleys have better scopes and can see in the dark while I’m sure Russia’s tanks are running trash, it makes up the difference.

  19. You got to wonder then if the Republicans are now blocking aid to Ukraine why Biden didn’t go all out and send way more before now when he had the house numbers. I guess being slow to not ‘provoke’ putler has now put Ukraine at a point of risk. Thanks sleepy joe.

    And the money being spent on US military aid is spent in the USA anyway – and the 1,000s of Bradley’s and Abrams and other vehicles are already paid for in storage – so little extra cost to modernise or refurbish them for send on.

    This is what you get when limp wristed lettuce munchers are too cautious by half.

    As for the Bradley’s use – incredible footage is coming out of them fudging up ruZZian lines and assets.

  20. We’re seeing an influx of articles about how awesome the Bradley is, which points to a coordinated media campaign to pressure US lawmakers to send more ASAP.

    Send them 1,000 more of these beasts and let them feast!

  21. Fucking up Russians is what they were made for, and they’re doing great at it.
