[@RandomDeforge]

@@maryginger4877 it wasn't really debunked. the title is misleading. the fact is that the Bradley was able to fight off this tank in direct close range combat. by blinding and deafening it's occupants, destroying its external sensors and optics, setting off its ERA and seemingly jamming its turret control mechanisms along with steering. this lead the tank to crash into a tree and remain still further suggesting the extensive amount of damage it received. shortly after a drone was sent as well, but there is no indication that the tank wasn't already out of action. the crew were able to escape but the tank was not recoverable which makes the claim that it was destroyed by the Bradley technically valid/plausible. it was certainly not "debunked."

[@BFVgnr]

As a former Bradley Fighting Vehicle gunner, the last 'battlefield taxi' vehicle fielded by the US Army was the M113. The BFV is designed for battlefield survivability and to fight the quick moving armor fight against other IFV and even main battle tanks. That UKR crew did exactly what you are supposed to do when you run into a tank at close range. The driver starts maneuvering and the gunner blinds the tanks. Used to be the 'blind the tank' was done via smoke grenade launchers. But a 25mm HE to your vision blocks and optical targeting systems.

[@USS-SNAKE-ISLAND]

Is it wrong to assume that "something" fired from the BFV must have penetrated the hull/turret "somewhere" to cause that wild gyration of the turret? .... This wasn't an old puma armored car firing into the ass of a tiger. Lol! They took that T-90 from the front. .... Superior crewmen-ship on the part of the Ukrainians. Locking horns. Impressive.

[@Epsilon434]

@@USS-SNAKE-ISLAND unless getting Gaijened is a real world thing, I am pretty sure that HE cant actually pen the frontal armor of the original model of T-90, without ERA. Now, and this is giving the Ruskies the benefit of the doubt, the T-90M has more frontal armor (appearance wise) in the turret's design, at least look significantly more chunky. Now, going off of what we have seen so far, budget cuts are everywhere and some ERA blocks have a rubber filler rather then explosives and/or metal plates inside, which makes me think that the added armor to the turret might be hollow, which is a decent defense to HE and some older HEAT, as that would technically be spatial armor- which both HE and HEAT have historically had a lesser to no effect on spaced armor. Considering one brick of explosive armor seemed to have cooked off, this crew may have been lucky in that regard, but I cant imagine how disorientated that crew was after getting railed by HE rounds. As for the gyro, thats for the gun itself, not the turret since its not an oscillating turret. Now it is possible that the turret's motor could have been rattled up, or something along those lines.

[@fyrchmyrddin1937]

@@Epsilon434 This isn't "World of Tanks". Information you're considering about frontal armor is actually regarding the hull glacis, not the turret. Sure, HEI-T generally won't do squat trying to cause penetration & spalling inside armored vehicles, but it can certainly damage systems to the point that they catch fire *inside* or are rendered unusable. Rounds hitting vision blocks, openings for the coax, hatches & what not certainly can cause severe damage. Why do you imagine Ukraine's drones have been so effective?

It's not the "Brad"; calling it that does a disservice to General Omar Bradley. It's not a battlefield taxi. That's a reference to armored personnel carriers like the M113 whereas the Bradley is part of a combined arms doctrine. It doesn't have anti-tank "rockets"; they're TOW-II missiles. The 25mm does not remain, "locked on target"; It's gyro-stabilized. The most common version sent to Ukraine is the M2A2 ODS SA, an early 1990's variant.

In Iraq the Bradley was responsible for destroying more enemy tanks than the allied tanks did. As well as the two TOW in the launcher the Bradley has extra TOW missiles inside the vehicle and the launcher can be reloaded through a hatch behind the launcher.

[@saybrowt]

There's a couple of things wrong with this video. I watched this last night and come back to it this morning, so this is from memory. - The title of the video. While Bradleys typically go into battle with a group (squad) of infantry inside of them and they do typically drop them off when entering the battle, they don't f off afterwards, so they're not a taxi. A Bradley is an IFV (infantry fighting vehicle) which means it stays and provides fire support for the infantry squad it has dropped off. When you say battlefield taxi you're thinking of an APC which basically is the predecessor of an IFV and does the same as described above except it f's off after dropping off its infantry squad thus making it behave like a taxi. - The way the host pronounces Abrams - The way the host pronounces TOW (he spells it out it's pronounced as a word, just like the verb. Has the host seriously never heard somone pronounce these words before?) - The suggestion that the T-34 is the "world's greatest tank" (WW2 examples certainly aren't, watch Lazerpig's video on it). - The suggestion that Soviet tank design/production fell off after the T-34, while the Soviet's were the first to make a tank with composite armor (T-64's turret) which kickstarted the concept of MBTs. - Seriously the Soviet's had loads of firsts including IFV's with the BMP. - The suggestion that Russian tank troops wouldn't know how to shoot the main gun. As mentioned at the start this is not an exhaustive list, this is from memory from watching this video yesterday. I've been kinda ragging on the guest speaker so I'll point out one thing I think he's spot on about and deserve's some props for: Coordination in battle is hard, so the Bradley's succesfully pulling it off is a significant feat and one of Russia's serious deficits.

[@tonylam9548]

On paper, it be deadly for a Bradley to stick around with enemy tanks in the area. A 120 mm gun would vaporize it. There is another version of the Bradley and I forgot what it is for. The T34 was the best all around medium tank for the condition. with slopped armor and easy to maintain unlike the German tanks. I am not surprised the Russians skimmed on training their crew. This war is a great opportunity to use up all the old TOWs before the end of their shelf life. We need something fire and forget which TOW is not. Russian engineers have different design philosophy than western designers, they have less money to work with and they do not take creature comfort as seriously. But when there is a need for it or if they feel like it, their engineering are world class. They are also behind in electronics and automation.

[@saybrowt]

@@tonylam9548 T34 and T-34 are two different tanks and not it wasn't the best, not even close. Wanna talk about ease of maintenance? Take a look at Shermans. They were literally the atlantic ocean away from their factories, so they had to be easily serviceable. The Soviet union was a force to be reckoned with, Russia is not.

The Germans had the lesson forced down their throats and you noticed when they design tracks again, such as the leopards, they use a different system.

The T-34 was a successful tank of WW2, but by its end, the British Centurion was entering service, and was the best tank of the post -War era. It was used by the IDF to destroy a huge invasion by Syria in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war

[@JAnx01]

After the Battle of Kursk, the T-34 already showed its deficiencies because it wasn't effective against German heavy armor, especially at long range. The Soviets went to design the T-44 as a result, which later turned into the T-54/T-55 which was much more revolutionary. However, the biggest leap forward was the T-64. The western obsession with the T-34 is nonsensical.

You have to be sitting still when you fire a TOW. Also, its like a sniper where you are monitoring a kill zone hopefully near maximum range and when you do fire the gunner must keep the cross hairs on the target until impact, which depending on the range can take up to 22-25 seconds.

I never fired a TOW from a Bradley, the only advantage of the ITV was reload time, but it is unrealistic to think any veh would get off more than 2 TOW Missiles. Great for long long standoff. Hulldown only. But the backblast was just a big invitation for incoming projectiles. The crews here were wise to run and gun and target the optics, if they can't see they can't hit. The T-90 popped smoke wisely, knowing most teams are leap frogging. Even nicer they had drones to finish off the T-90. So they didn't have to expose an IFV to use a TOW.

Tanks have done well in deserts recently. In Europe they have to use main roads for 6 months of the year to avoid getting bogged down. With rain comes rivers and bridges. The bridges are often unable to take the weight of a MBT. An Infantry Fighting Vehicle seems to be a better bet in a European winter.

The DPRK and Russia border each other. North Korean forces will cross that border and take a train through Russia to the deployment area. So, nope, there won't be any interception en route -- not unless the US is inclined to target rail inside Russia; the chance of that is extremely close to zero.

[@donaldseigel4101]

Its not a Taxi, and the Russian tank was being tracked by drones, and had no support. I am sure they were focused on the drones, and by the time they saw the Bradley they were shooting blind. T-90's are great tanks if they have the trained crew, proper protective armor and support they need. If you would have put an M1 or a Centurion in the same situation of taking fire from both drones, and a couple of IFV's with an inexperienced tank crew, you would probably end up with a blown tank. I have seen videos of successful Russian tank operations where they used t-72s behind a t-62 turtle tank, the difference is that they were supported by infantry, artillery, and helicopters. It was not the tank this time it was the tactics.

5:40 there's an interesting WWII training video on here called "Crack That Tank" where a tanker talks with infantry guys about how it is being inside a tank, and how if he's blinded, it really screws up his ability to fight. So a big point of that WWII training film was, if you can blind a tank by messing up their viewing window (or these days, sensors) you might just win.

[@gottfriedheumesser1994]

I think that reactive armor does not help against a machine cannon. It only helps against single shots, but when the reactive plates have been detonated the bare steel remains like in old tanks.

[@Տիգրան-ժ1է]

Firstly, the Russian tanks themselves have a plate of rolled homogeneous steel that is not thin, and secondly there is composite armor.

[@gottfriedheumesser1994]

@@Տիգրան-ժ1է I know, but it is a fact that it does not help much. WW1 was terminated by Allied tanks, mainly from Great Britain. WW2 was dominated by tank armies initially from Germany, and later from the Allied. But in the Ukraine war, they only caused soft knees and showed how high their turrets can fly. For me, passive armament helps against light weapons, but against heavy weapons, tanks would need active defense like warplanes. Then they could become more agile. If you tear a fighter jet into a >5g curve at the right moment, you may follow how the missiles are missing you.

It’s about crew training that’s how a tank survives integrating with other forms of weapons, armor, artillery aircraft, and infantry. It’s about training not about the tank surviving on its own. That’s how tanks survive every tank vulnerable.

[@Siuuuuuuuu507]

Is he really an expert? He made all of this up in a few videos. He says the Bradley can destroy the t90 very easily, but I think this is because the Bradley crew is brave and the t90 itself is a tank that works better than the Abrams or Challenger on the battlefield.

[@dzerkle]

Don’t get overconfident from this one encounter. It shows that two Bradleys plus a recon drone and a grenade drone can defeat one T-90 when the Bradleys get in the first shots and the T-90 misses twice. The more important lesson here is not about equipment, but rather about preparedness, battlefield awareness, skill, and tactics. One shot from the T-90 would at least disable a Bradley, and the second would destroy it. On the other hand, the Bradleys never fired a TOW. That indicates a logistics failure. One of those probably would have done the job and two surely would. Instead, they did it the hard way with the Bushmaster.

[@mrgrinch837]

Just to clear up a bit of misperception about why they didn't fire the TOW. I fired TOWs from Humvees, jeeps, and eventually cobra attack helicopters. The ground Vehicles you must be sitting still with the engine off so the vibration doesn't complicate the missile guidance system to track the missile. You then have to line up your target, hopefully at near maximum range. It's not something that you can even come close to shooting on the move, unless of course you're in a combat helicopter. The tow missile is very much like a sniper weapon, It's made to monitor kill zones. Waiting for something to stroll into your kill zone and then you zap it, it's a great device but it doesn't shoot while you're moving along a bumpy roadway., additionally for maximum range shots it will take up to 22 to 25 seconds that you have to hold the cross on the target for missile impact. If they sat still in order to get the TOW missile on the wire they would have been dead.

A tank is most valuable against civilians, which is how most soviet tanks are used around the world. The second use of tanks is to give young men the confidence to move forward into otherwise suicidal positions.
