It was a great reaction by the Russian driver realizing immediately that he is outmatched.. If he turns or stops everyone on the BTR dies. He hammers down so the Bradley can only get a few shots in and gets in cover as quick as he can once he's past the Bradley. Wasn't his first day on the job.

The dismounts worked perfectly with our units by covering our asses against their dismounted assets, and the dismounts would relay enemy positions to the company so that the tanks or Bradley’s could maneuver or creep up to destroy any threats.

@@unskilled822 Being destroyed would mean you didn't back down from a fight wouldn't it?

[@SgtBeltfed]

@@unskilled822 You don't see BTR's with ATGM's because of the one man turret and the doors. A one man turret isn't going to hack it as a tank destroyer because the vehicle commander either does double duty as the gunner, or can't see anything so can't find targets. The doors are an issue because you can't reload the missile from the troop compartment, you'd have to climb out and stand on the hull roof instead. Better off using them to deploy ATGM teams by driving up and telling the teams to leg it, which is what Russia does. Also, the BTR-82 isn't an IFV, it's just a fair to poor APC that Russia shoehorned a 30mm cannon into. Inadequate protection from artillery fragments, no mine protection, lack of a rear door combined with needing to dismount from tiny side doors. (Or out the top hatches if you fancy a twisted ankle)

@@TheFrewah well still like, what the fuck are 6 Russians and a single tank gonna do?

[@TheFrewah]

@@c0ldsh0w3r I find myself asking that very question. I think they hide somewhere if they can and that’s really bad if you are used to things like food and something to drink every now and then. I have seen many videos showing a single tank without any kind of support moving around and that makes me wonder what they are supposed to do. That didn’t work well in Georgia, a lone tank was an easy target. Sometimes, I get the impression that russian soldiers are expected to find food on their own. Even that russian helicopter pilot that was killed was told that he was an adult and had to find a place to sleep by himself. Very good question and I’m sure rookie conscripts wonder about what their best option is.

[@industrialman8296]

@@c0ldsh0w3rAgainst an enemy just as spread out as them they can do a lot. You seem to think that the few men that Russia sends is going against an entire division. No. They are also going against 6 or so Ukrainian guys. Usually if they win they get to take the Ukrainian position and if they lose Ukraine gets to replace any losses they took and the process is repeated. In this case Russia won the battle destroying a Leopard, Bradley and some Ukrainian infantry which allowed them to take most of Sokil by now.

Bradley's are designed to shoot on the move, Russian tanks are met to stop shoot and scoot

[@hattimounattimou8258]

looks like it got the scooting and stoping part down at least

[@1k20a]

With the amount of shake the Russian btr main gun has this Bradley easily won

[@Krishna0666]

It's not a tank, it's even not an IFV, just an APC

[@SgtBeltfed]

The bigger issue is armor protection. A Bradley is well protected from Russian 30mm from the front and sides. It might even stop it from the rear under ideal conditions. The BTR-82 only has adequate protection from a 25mm Bushmaster from the front. The sides and rear are extremely vulnerable.

[@ataxpayer723]

In this case the Russian vehicle is meant to stop, shoot, scoot and smoke.

[@helge000]

Two IFVs, alone and unsupported in no-mans-land, on a head on collision course while being watched by all the drones in the world. If a single video could describe this war - this one would be a prime candidate.

[@artemrevelsky]

BTR is not an IFV. It’s ICV, closer to Stryker. BMP vs Bradley would be a closer comparison.

[@Clistes]

According to UA command stuff, Bradley crew answered a distress call from infantry. Infantry alarmed others that there is a BTR with some infantry lurking in nearby forest. Bradley comes for the rescue. It's not a coincidence, he was hunting. later on they turn back and hit the BTR with the Bradley as they run out of ammo.

[@thePronto]

Captain: "Sergeant, today the mighty Russian Army continues its unstoppable advance Westwards to steam-roller NATO. Your mission is to mount troops on your vehicle and charge headlong into Sokil and secure it from the Ukrainians." Sergeant: "Presumably, Tovarishch Captain, I will have the support of the entire Guards Special Independent Armored Division with Corps artillery regiments preparing the objective before I cross the start line?" Captain: "Sure. Of course."

[@behroozkhaleghirad]

A wheeled, amphibious (and thus, very lightly armored) APC going up against a state-of-the-art IFV and surviving? I would call it a win already.

[@tordsteiro9838]

Seems like the cope cage and meat armour worked. Possibly because it tricked the Bradley's gunner, and he aimed a bit high. Or, perhaps, Ukrainians thought there was a chance to trophy the vehicle, and aimed high in order to take out maximum orcs at minimum damage to the potential prize?

[@bosoerjadi2838]

The cursing and swearing both crews must have exchanged during the unexpected medieval type lance duel must have been epic.

[@BlaxxCalibur]

where is the Bradley at 0,19 ? i see the BTR driving on the left 50-100m after passing the Bradley, but no Bradley somewhere in the right side. no running , roling or standing ... nor any stir of dust coming up... was it ghost Bradley ???

[@Geekofarm]

Couldn't help but notice that at 00:50 the BTR is hit in the side at the rear. At this point the Bradley is on the road straight ahead. Shrapnel sprays out at 90 degrees. It seems an unlikely hit from the oncoming Bradley, particularly as the Bradley turret is not tracking either and we never *actually* see it fire. Is another vehicle involved? Someone is certainly dropping arty on something in the field closer to the camera. This would explain why the BTR driver goes off-road to the right into a dip - he's seeking cover from fire on the left. I would like to know what happened to that Bradley and why it was not shooting.

во первых это не бмп, он вообще не должен вести бой. Во вторых, из-за того, что это не бмп, я вообще сомневаюсь что на ходу ему удобно вести бой. наводчик возможно контужен, так как в него стреляли до начала видео. Ну и возможно мангал мешал крутить башню

They got smacked, quite a few times. I am wondering if the gunner is dead and continued firing well after the Bradley went by.

[@JuanValentino-yu1ft]

The Russian BTR was taking hits from the Bradley well before it came into video frame . It was basically disabled as it went past the Bradley . This is where the Bradley shines , it's ability to lay down accurate and very quick continuous fire at short and long range , before other slower operating guns can be deployed onto target . It's harder to see at range and more maneuverable . Bigger is not always better .
