Ukrainian Bradelys in action, likely from the 47th Mechanized Brigade. The first vehicle is struck, both by RPGs and an FPV drone, according to the source. Smoke billows from the wounded IFV, and a high elevation shot shows fires burning along the tree line. A second Bradley dashes into the frame and stands guard over its wounded comrade, Bushmaster chain gun pounding away at unseen enemies. The ramp drops and crewmembers from the stricken vehicle dive into the back. During the evacuation, the rescuing Bradley appears to take an RPG hit, but it continues firing, unphased. With the survivors aboard, the Bradley makes good its escape, trailing smoke and dodging incoming artillery shells.
