Steel Meets Steel - Bradley's Remarkable Performance Despite T-72 Strike

The US-provided Bradley infantry fighting vehicle or IFV sent to Ukraine frequently faces destruction from anti-tank mines, with a significant increase observed during the Ukrainian counter-offensive that commenced in early June. Despite this, there was another incident where a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle miraculously survived a direct confrontation with a T-72 tank. Despite being struck and showing a hole in the hull, the Bradley soldier inside continued to operate on the battlefield without any significant harm. It has been known that both Bradley IFVs and T-72 tanks are recognized for their exceptional levels of protection, firepower, and mobility. In order to know how each of them survived over another in the conflict, let’s take a look at both vehicles side by side.

It ain't about "how well engenieered" the armor of the Bradley is, but rather sheer luck. The ammo used by the T-72 must've been an APFSDS (armor-percing fin-stabilisied discarding sabot), which penetrated the IFV like swiss cheese, but failed to touch either the engine, or the driver, since this type of ammo is specifically made to engage other tanks. In the end, the driver might've gotten lucky, but if there were any crew in the Bradley, they most likely turned into strainers with all the metal splinters the hole created.

I guess you don't know that even from day one tanks have needed support. In WWI infantry could fire through the armor of the first tanks and could capture them with grenades. In WWII there were man portable rockets and guns that could breach tank armor. Of course artillery and airplanes could kill tanks too. Tanks have always worked best in a combined arms unit. The exceptions have been in cases like a lightening strike.

And Lancet with codename "Izdelie 54" (most likely internal combustion engine leading to increased range and higher speeds) was announced.

[@ivanstepanovic1327]

You've got so many things here wrong that I don't even know where to start... Bradley is lightly armored, most of its armor consisted of aluminium. Sides are armored even less. So, what happened here is something commonly known as "overpenetration". In other words: armor is very weak and it was hit with something with high penetration value (APFSDS or HEAT) which caused the projectile just to whizz through. Those projectiles were designed to penetrate smth with significant armor and cause damage inside it with spalling (turning pieces of vehicle's own armor into shrapnels). But when the armor is thin and penetration is high, it will go through without causing much damage on the inside. Like shooting a cardboard box from high power rifle from 5 paces away. The round will go through creating perfect circle and exit the other side without much damage. Sure, anything in the path of the projectile will be taken out, but nothing else. That gives a lot of chance for the vehicle to stay operational. If it was hit with 125mm HE round, the Bradley would be turned into bunch of scrap metal of undefined shape. But high energy round will just go through without doing much damage on the inside... It was most likely hit with something of high penetration because that is what the crew had loaded...

This is cope. Let’s assume That was the one lucky Bradley. Ok, what about the other 40+ that have been destroyed so far? Plus it doesn’t even look like a penetrating round hit. Unlikely.

[@skillbopster]

LOL the bradley is not even made of steel which is why it burns easy. Also a ton of these have been taken out by other smaller weapons.

[@peterstubbs5934]

Ah, another Cremlin Creep spouting bullshit.

[@tombakabones274]

2:57 you're leaving out the part where the Bradley got struck in the infantry compartment which is a non-vital area of the Bradley had it of been struck in a different area closer to the front the Bradley probably would have been knocked out of commission

[@adamburns2452]

Plenty of them recycled in Ukraine

[@Hathur]

That wasn't a triumph.. it was 100% dumb luck. The armor failed, the shell breached the armor completely. It was dumb luck it failed to hit the engine, ammo reserves or a crew member. Had it done either, there would've been casualties or total loss of vehicle. A triumph of the armor is when the shell fails to penetrate into the hull... this was a fail. Also, the Bradley is not designed to withstand the main canon of the T72, despite the nonsense said in this video the Bradley is not considered a heavily armored IFV. It is a medium armor vehicle that balances offense, defense and speed. Who is researching or writing this nonsense here?

Get some Putin!

[@Kartraceone]

Not in anyway Bradly could be described as "steel". That APC is build from aluminium and if it was really hit by 125mm tank shell it would go clean cut, right trough, like the hot knife trough the butter. Rather check your facts before publish this BS cz. it will hurt your channel. The impact area has no resemblance of the shell penetration. This is just a joint effort propaganda. To bad.

[@timmccarthy982]

German 88mm anti tank rounds went thru one side and out the other side of US Sherman tanks during WW2. One or two crewmen were usually killed but if nothing critical in the tank was hit they would wash out the blood and guts, repaint the interior, put 88mm metal patches on the holes and give the tank to a new crew. If the tank got hit again by a German 88mm iit probably caught fire. Sherman’s were known to catch fire when hit because they used gasoline not diesel. Germans nicknamed them Robson lighters the cigarette lighter “that lights every time.” Bradley’s are know ti catch fire and melt because their armor is aluminum not steel.

[@irtnyc]

This is a terrible video. The Bradley is absolutely NOT one of the "most heavily armored and securely protected" vehicles in the world. Neither will the armor of the Bradley be "enhanced" or "updated" during the ongoing war. It is what it (already) is.

[@duncanildaho4966]

It was from Lancet

its not an apsfds round

Bradley is made to protect it's dismount troops, not designed to head to head with tank. Bradley dismount troop vet.

[@glocksp80smd]

Ive seen mang bradley take direct anti tank missle hits fron russians. Go look it up. Heres the think all russian armor is 99 percent kill rate on its crew when hit period. American armeo has a 99 percent crew living after hits and or mines. Ask any tank experts what tanks they will never want to fight in and they will all tell you russian tanks and or armor. There are many ukraine and russian videos of bradleys and other american armor taking multiple drone hits and rpgs and still the crew gets out all alive and most of the time it still drove away. Plus that bradley that was hit didnt have extra armor on the side or era tiles. It was just tue bradleys aluminum armor with the small steel plate. The upped armor ones have era tiles and steel all the way around

GOODNESS...GRACIOUS!! Faithful/Born-again to go in Rapture!! Feast Of Trumpets? In September?? Including All Children And Pets??? GOD IS MAGNANIMOUS!!!!

[@thinkingproactive7936]

Bradley is an Infantry support vehicle....... NOT A TANK! This video misses this crucial point. If a Bradley survives an encounter with a T-72, or even wins, taking into consideration bradley operator skill or experience, it really is just LUCK. A Bradley in terms of firepower and protection is NO MATCH for a true battle TANK.

[@TheClanAdventures]

The Russians must be winning if your having to scape this video together and put it out there.

[@doombringer3498]

U bonkers, this type of damage is catastrophic for all bradley crew and soldiers aboard. Almost certain death from overpressure and armor fragments for all except (maybe) driver. A good part of HEFRAG explosive energy gone directly into the compartment. "Engine and gun functional, vehicle survived". Yep, but it probably survived alone.

[@uruguayarms]

Pro-Russians will always find a way to say that Russian things are better. They have very good engineers and quite nice vehicles, but their quality leaves a lot to be desired.

[@vitg1559]

HAHAHA!!! Good job) The video aimes to justify all significant losses if Bradley's on the battlefield)) Repeating again and again T72 failed to destroy Bradley)) Neuro-linguistic programming techniques)) A pathetic attempt))

[@h0plite996]

One advantage the T-72 has is that they can make their occupants instant astronauts.

[@Pugev]

Bradley survives but the LROPARD with GERMAN crew died in Ukraine .. WHAT THE NACIST do in TANK IN UKRAINE !!!!LIERS

[@williamstearns7490]

Looks more like an APFDS “keyholed”. It was destabilized and slowed from hitting something first and belly flopped against the side. An APFSDS just leaves a clean star shaped hole. A HEAT round leaves an amorphous hole and splatter craters around the hole. There would have been a massive deformation and scorching if it were the fragmentation round. The impact just shows shearing damage to the armor.

[@Fiskanatorz]

"the bradley's armor seems to have successfully withstood the tank attack." "did not penetrate deeply enough to cause significant damage" Are you really that stupid? You can clearly see into the troop compartment. IF this is actually a hit by an mbt, it is one that did not hit any vitals, ammunition, fuel or troops (thankfully).

[@chrishuffman5829]

Lol,,, my friend assembles them in the Lima Plant,,, they are EXTREMELY outdated;! Almost 80% of the Bradleys we gave Ukraine are wiped out and gutted

[@zulefunel2172]

That looks like a APFSDS which is not for medium to light armor which mostly explains how it survive the the T-72, if the T-72 fire a HEAT round to the Bradley the Bradley will cook like cooking a stake in a barrel

[@BojanPeric-kq9et]

Advanced armor which was penetrated. Sounds about right.Deflecting round is a pipedream, it doesn't work for APFSDS rounds. Find next lucky Bradley. You will not.

[@benanders4412]

Remarkable performance in Ukraine? Unless you are talking about burning time when used like a candle, i really don't understand this conclusion. The Bradley's have performed real bad in Ukraine. And that's not totally because it's a bad design or anything. It's just because warfare changes. New anti armor weapons are being used by the Russians. The Bradley's could not be used in favorable conditions. The training of the ones using them was incomplete. The Russians knew they were coming and were prepared for them. Etc etc. Other Western IFV's also preformed poorly. It's just because of the nature of this war. It's not ideal for IFV's. And if a Bradley survives a run in with a T-72, we call it luck. It's just dumb luck. That's all it is.
