[@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.

You are quite right between 90 has a very impressive gun unfortunately the targeting systems are way below those of NATO countries

[@AgentSmith-x9p]

@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. Its corruption up and down the entire chain of command, Russia really was not prepared for a modern conflict they have a lot of house cleaning to do to get themselves in order.

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.

[@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...

The 25mn Bushmaster is an incredible piece of machinery. It can put out rapid automatic Cannon burst on target Firing a variety of ammunition types. It's devastating out to 1,000 meters.

Made the T90 go haywire glowing at the front of the turret and firing off its smokescreen canisters wildly.

[@jameshorn270]

Looking at the T-90 turret, it looks like it was designed as a bullet trap, A round which hits the lower part of the turret below the gun will ricochet, not up and away, but down into the turret ring. If that bullet is a 24 mm round, that could disable turret rotation. The round is also enough to damage the track and immobilize any tank. If the track and the turret are damaged, the Bradley can sit and direct a stream of 25 mm rounds into the turret ring until one breaks through.
