Bradley Fighting Vehicle Is a Certified Hit in Ukraine: Is the M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle too old and ready for retirement?

Not if you’re part of the Ukrainian Army fighting the Russians in the Donbas Region.

Ukrainian soldiers are giving the Bradley Fighting Vehicle rave reviews for its firepower, speed, mobility, and surprising survivability against larger Russian tanks and armored personnel carriers.

The Ukrainians were quickly trained and up to speed on the Bradley, and the old battle wagon was making a difference against the Russians.

Ukrainian soldiers are using the Bradley not only to bring troops to the battlefield but also as a light tank. This has been a pleasant surprise for the U.S. Army and the Pentagon. It was conceivable that the Bradley would be too fragile and finicky for the rigors of the war in Ukraine.
