Ukrainian 47th Brigade Bradley Kicking Ass On The Night Shift
Published 5 months ago
Yet another submission from the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade, this quick clip, captured by drone and thermal camera, shows a Bradley IFV in Donetsk using the cover of darkness to close on Russian positions and maul them. The Bradley’s cannon rounds can be seen making impacts.
It’s no secret that we love the Bradley around here. The Infantry Fighting Vehicle gets glowing praise from Ukrainian troops, and the 47th Mechanized Brigade has been using them to put in work, from murdering MT-LBs to rescuing casualties.
Here, we see the 47th’s typical modus operandi at work as the Bradley approaches Russian holdings in the dark and lights them up at close range- the mechanized equivalent of a clinch-and-stab. The thermal drone which is recording the action probably also has a role in spotting and walking the IFV onto targets.
