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.

[@TheFivegoodemperors]

The Bradley vs T-90 is almost a fair fight (if the Bradley has TOW missiles). The TOW missile was designed to destroy Soviet tanks in the 1970s and the T-90 has a T-72 chassis. During the Chechen wars 3-4 RPG-7 shots fired within 50m could destroy them (or firing down from an elevated position like apartment complex). T-90 has an advantage but if the chassis was better, it wouldn't even be a competition.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

@@Canthus13 Russians, unsurprisingly, haven't "moved" in sync with Western Europe people and society, despite THEM being a part of Europe for endless generations, with inter-marriage and royal "blood" lines. The last time the Russians were with other Europeans were the Tzar years... and possibly extending a bit into the WW1 era.... when ALL of Europe still fought war more or less the same: by sending endless men into the most contested & smallest space, to "overwhelm"... By WW2, Americans and Western Europeans shifted their tactics substantially. They literally started applying Sun Tzu's many still-valid teaching... about "surprising" your enemies in ways they're least expecting. For example, Sun Tzu recommended that you pull back, slowly & methodically, if the enemy concentrates too much men/fire power at any one place... by drawing them out, stretching their supply line. That you also attack where they least expected: deep into enemy territories, for example. War is about MANAGING CHAOS and DEATH. That, BTW, is the tactic Zelensky's using in Kursk, to relief pressure on the southern and eastern Ukrainian fronts...... because over 2.5 years, the Russians built up very solid DEFENSE down there, robust positions that allow them to slowly, methodically take Ukrainian land, a few hundred square meters and then a few square miles, at a time... by throwing endless cannon fodder at lightly manned Ukrainian positions. In reality, Kyiv just doesn't have the fire power & soldiers Russians do, so it's just common sense NOT to always engage, HEAD-ON, very persistent Russian onslaught with all that Kyiv has, which is VERY MINIMAL and it's 90% from the West now... A slow, methodical pull back... by exacting a very high price (using very precise NATO equipment and drones)... is the smartest tactic for Kyiv... Even with 10's of thousands of 1940 - 80 WW2/Cold War equipment and 4 times the man power Ukraine has, Russia IS SLOWLY RUNNING LOW on both aspects... With modern fire power (even sparingly used, due to supply) & superior tactics.... attrition INSIDE Ukraine doesn't favor the Russians... as most Russians and their supporters may think. One accurate bomb (Scalp) or missile (ATACMS), for example, could easily erase 10 to 200 Russian soldiers, along with valuable, hard to produce equipment... A well equipped, NATO grade Bradley --- with night vision, modern telecommunication equipments, etc --- could easily damage or destroy a powerful T-90 Russian tank, even with just 25mm shells. Imagine the same Bradley, in 3-5 years, firing the up-coming 40mm shells that the British, French & Germans are using in their up-coming Ajax/Bradley equivalent light armed vehicles!, a 40mm that has up to 5 times the FIRE POWER of the Bradley's current 25mm fire power! Tests have tentatively shown, for example, that with the NEW DESIGNED CT cannon --- from cannon mechanics to the shells/ammunition explosives parts --- that the British defense giant BAE is finishing, along with their French & Germans partners, their 40mm cannon has 4 times as much power as a current 30mm cannon in today's US and Western European light armored vehicles... With one of the new, revolutionary capabilities that the CT-40 weapon have being able to do mini-ATACMS style/shot-gun shells, traveling ~Mach 3, close to ATACMS territory... with the cannon barrel raised 80%, against low helicopters or normal drones, with each shell containing hundreds of tungsten pellets, timed to explode near their targets...

And that is the problem though. The idea is to get the troops to the field to dismount where they can protect the vehicle flanks and punch back with anti tank and anti air systems. If the troops stay inside the vehicle, they either get blown up with the vehicle, or remain useless as a ground force. Not having air conditioning may have been an advantage in the eyes of the Generals. If the troops don't dismount, may as well convert the Bradley into a lightweight tank killer with more antitank systems and no troop ramp or seating.

@steveoborne2297 The design flaws are numerous for the T90, first they opted for a carousel auto loader, so all the rounds are in the weakest part of the tank, the turret in the crew area where all new ATGMs are now designed to target. Secondly Russia decided not to include air-conditioning on any of their armored vehicles, thats why we are constantly seeing armor get taken out with a drone and a grenade down the hatch. Even on a cold day youd be surprised how fast an 1100 horsepower engine with turn the crew compartment into an oven. And like you said the target acquisition systems are also lacking.. But if you're gonna drive around all day with hatches open and get hit with a guided missile you might as well not be driving in any armor at all, the pressure that will be created in the crew area will be enough to end your life. Its a long list of failures, and tank commanders have even claimed reactive armor blocks have been just replaced by rubber blocks.

I was on Bradley’s for 13 years, and I can assure you the Bradley is NONE of those. It’s not “basically a light tank.” It’s an armored personnel carrier. It’s neither nimble, nor fast. It’s way too big to be “nimble.” With an average TOP speed (with battle load) of only 35 mph it’s not “fast.” The “armor” isn’t “armor.” It’s anywhere from .24” to 1” aluminum. Most weapons above small arms will go right through it. The 25mm is effective, but even a fully combat loaded Bradley has very limited 25mm rounds to keep it in the fight for long. One good firefight and they need to run away and link up with a LOGPACK for ammo resupply. Don’t buy into the hype of this video. The Bradley ain’t all that.

Unexpectedly? The 25mm was designed for exactly that. DUH.

[@Canthus13]

No it wasn't. It was designed to kill soft targets and light fortifications. The TOW was designed for anti-tank work. That Bushmaster can't punch through MBT armor. What it does, though, is strip all the sensors off the outside of the enemy tank with ease, leaving them blind in the middle of a pack of enemies. It was never EVER intended to do that. That wasn't even an idea in the 70s when the Bradley was designed.

[@SnarkyMcsnarkles24]

No it wasnt. 25mm is NOT designed to be used against a MBT. It absolutely is unexpected that they are so effective against Russian MBTs. 25MM was designed for use against lightly armored targets (not heavy tanks) and infantry. The TOW was DESIGNED for use against heavier targets.

Used to be a video knocking around on the interwebs back in the 90's, when the cold war ended. It was the interior of a silo and they were disarming one. Dude dropped a wrench. The wrench went through the outer shell of the rocket. Cut to snow. Why? They used liquid fuel for their delivery systems. Liquid fuel, as it turns out, will just eat through its containment (the rocket) eventually. Highly unstable, but cheap and easy to make. It's what they used almost exclusively for a very long time. They also have an extremely poor track record of maintaining their "modern" solid fuel rockets, even for smaller systems. It's how you get funny clips with the munition going return to sender.

5? 5! I am thinking 100 or more drones. You did say "disposable". Probably needs a dedicated space for a drone operator.

I was on tanks in the 80's and 90's and 2000's and used to get frustrated with how badly we knew Russia's tanks and equipment would perform compared to ours until at a certain point in my career, I was taken aside and told, that if the American people knew we had the best equipment already, they'd stop funding for future equipment. I was told to shut my trap and let everyone think Russia was top dog. Loose lips sink ships and all that crap. That is why I could never play any games that pitted American tech against Russian tech. In reality, it would be a slaughter fest, not in Russians favor. But in the games, they always had the advantage. In Desert Storm, we were blowing up their crap every time we saw one and everyone said it was the 'export' version. I guess these are all export versions too?
