This footage you’re about to witness is absolutely insane and unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. On January 11, 2024 near the Ukrainian city of AHV-dee-iv-ka (Avdiivka), videos surfaced of a pair of M2 Bradley IFVs battling it out with Russia’s most advanced T90M main battle tank. What really happened in this viral battle and Why is this location strategically important for Ukraine to defend? A quick disclaimer, miraculously no one was killed in this footage still viewer discretion is advised.

It’s unclear if the Ukranian Bradleys were hunting the Russian tank or if they accidently ran into each other. But in The interview with the Ukrainian bradley commander Sehr-HEE (Serihey) he indicated 3 Bradleys made the conscious decision to seek out the Russian tank. However one of their vehicles “had issues”, and was not able to effectively engage the tank so it had to retreat. So they were down to 2 Brads. The close quarters engagement begins with the Russian 48 ton T90M inside of a small village, with the first smaller bradley initially engaging it perpendicularly, then both vehicles retreat away from each other. The T90 fires a cannon 125mm shot that misses hitting the ground just a few meters in front of itself. Aiming at a target close to you in a tank becomes more difficult because you have to traverse the turret faster and objects will move across your line of sight faster due to its close proximity.

Bradley Gunner 1989-1991/1994-1998, Bradley Commander 1999-2001. Tow would have taken to long to setup and engage the tank. Besides to many impedments in the area of engagement. Next if there was a feeder malfunction the 25mm bushmaster would not have been able to fire unless it was cycling between the dif rounds. Its a simple task to push the the malf button and reset the feeder to cycle the diff rnds.The feeder is a dual system until it enters the reciever. Sounds like AP(70 rnds) where all fired and the gunner than switched to High explosive (230 rnds) or could have been the opposite (70HE/230AP). hope that helps.

I always try to tell people that ArmA is real warfare, put into digital form. It'll teach you SO MUCH about warfare and tactics. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who wants to experience warfare as close to IRL as possible on a computer. I was apart of an ODA team for year and we got to use drones... ALOT. I already knew how devastating they were for observation and munition deployment because we use to do it, often.I use to be a drone operator in ArmA and the videos coming out from the war are JUST LIKE how I saw the world when I was operating in ArmA. lol

Old 19D M2 driver/gunner here. Moving and shooting a TOW would be very difficult to hit with. You might be able to hit a slow moving vehicle at distance with one if you are not moving. Think at it like you shooting a moving boat from the shore verse shooting out of a moving boat. There were some trees, telephone poles and structures in the way that could have cut the TOW wires. The TOW box has to be raised and lock before it can fire. So you can tell when it when it is deployed about to fire. The turret will 360 faster than 6 seconds. There is a slew button that turbos the speed which you can move the turret. You can spin it very fast. Looks like the impacting rounds were HE instead of AP. We were taught to reverse load HE and AP rounds. It hold 300 total with something like 70AP and 230HE. But we would do it backwards to have 230AP and only 70HE. He might have forgot when selecting ammo that is backwards from what is marked. Their training is very short. Also the ammo boxes have to be loaded very specifically. If loaded wrong, it could lead to a jam. It feeds from 2 boxes so you could go to another box in an emergency. Lastly firing the gun is not to terrible loud inside as all crew members wear helmets with earphones built it. The muzzle blast is ear shattering outside. So my guess is impacting rounds would not have been too much worse than just shooting your own gun during normal firing.

The deceleration of the impacting round is much higher than the acceleration of the round in the barrel, so I imagine it would be louder inside the tank than firing the gun. Remember that when firing, a round accelerates through the entire length of the barrel, whereas when an incoming round hits the armour, it decelerates from full speed to zero in the length of the shell.

I was a TOW gunner back in the 1990s. Assuming TOW missiles haven't been greatly upgraded with new capabilities since then, the reason they wouldn't have been fired in this engagement is that it was too close, with too many impediments to line of sight, and too much motion. TOWs have to be fired from a stable and stationary platform - at least the ones back in the '90s had to be. Gunner has to keep a reticle steady on the target from the time of acquisition, firing, and until impact. Any jostle or bump could make the missile go haywire, and these Bradleys would've been experiencing plenty of jostling and bumping as they dashed around that village. If they'd had time to calmly set up from a stationary position with a clear line of sight, using a TOW to take out that tank would've been a no brainer. But the sudden contact engagement here didn't lend itself to firing off a TOW.

I became a TOW GUNNER back in October of 1977 after Infantry School at Benning. It wasn't even an MOS back then. Hell, the TOW SYSTEM still had a noun nomenclature of XM-151 E2. It was an ASI. 11B10-ASI-P4. It was fairly new. It became its own MOS IN '79'. 11 HOTEL 10. Russian armor wasn't even our main objective target. We hunted as a priority the Russian ZSU 23-4 QUAD heavy anti-aircraft gun system. We left the tanks to the 2/68th Armor and their "Big Boys", M60A1s MBTs in Baumholder W. Germany. We saw the first A10 THUNDERBOLTS fly over the MTA in 1978 in close air support.

@claytonbuck5416 2 ай бұрын

Hi, actual US Army Gunner here. I was on a 1167 Humvee with a 240 Bravo and a TOW ATGM. The Tow was likely not used in this engagement because it requires you to sit still for at least 7-14 seconds depending on how good you are with it. You need to arm the missile, lock on with the tracking gates, then fire and that's if you just so happen to be using the TAS when you're engaging the enemy. Additionally the missile (depending on what generation it's from) is either wire guided or RF guided and therefore the attacking vehicle needs to sit completely still to allow the gunner to maintain a good lock on the target. This is because the TASs reticle needs to be fixed on the exact spot you need the missile to go. A single breath in the wrong direction could cause the turret to move and completely miss the tank, spelling certain death for the Brad. At 50 meters when you think time is short and that tank barrel could be pointed anywhere, the TOW might be a bad option and buttoning (or shooting out the optics on) the 90 might be the best option. Also it's entirely possible that the 25mm penned the T-90. I find it unlikely that the gunner of the tank decided that rotating the turret to the right for five whole seconds was a good idea. Most likely the tank was hit between the turret and the hull (which is something we are taught is a weak point, particularly on Russian tanks) and the turret hydraulics were damaged, causing it to rotate uncontrollably. In conclusion: The TOW is not good at close range high stakes engagements. It's an ambush weapon meant for long range "sniping." The 25mm can absolutely pen the T-90 depending on where you hit it. And furthermore it's also possible that the Driver lost his optic and the TC was telling him to get the hell out of there, explaining why he just floored it into a tree.

Simpler, seems like tactical situation dicey, you're obviously not taking care of possible enemy infantry with your tank and friendly infantry not nearby (Ukr Bradleys you think having infantry with mines/AT and no friendly infantry as support...), other AT support probably present usually (I think said even in this video, though unavailable but unknown to Russian tank), so retreat is smart. Analyzing too much in this video ? Well, clicks.

@claytonbuck5416 2 ай бұрын

@@tondekoddar7837 About what the American doctrine would be in this situation if an American tank were in a similar situation (against two BMPs for example) the simple answer is that no such situation would ever exist. Americans do not deploy their tanks alone in a village somewhere in enemy territory just waiting to get ambushed by infantry from a building. That's a big no-no. The Russian Commander made a pretty big tactical mistake here and was likely overestimating the capabilities of his T-90M and her crew. American tanks tend to be deployed alongside Bradleys in hunter-killer squadrons. In this American scenario when the Bradleys and tanks encountered a village near a major objective (like the nearby city) and that village needed to be secured the Bradleys would push forward while being covered by the Abrams and deploy dismount teams that would move in and secure the village while the tanks and brads watched closely from a distance. If the dismounts were to get ambushed by an enemy building the dismounts would lay down while the tank and the brads obliterated the enemy armor or structure with their guns and TOWs. Then when the threat was neutralized the infantry would push forward and clear the village and secure it. THEN the tanks and brads would move in to provide 360 degree security for the village. Or they would simply bypass it depending on what the overall objective was for their mission set. But if they HAD to secure the village, that's how they would do it. It's a pretty unstoppable and methodical strategy and there's not really a good way to counter this. At least not with current technology. No Russian tactic as far as I am aware exists for this kind of fighting and from what I have seen the Russian tactics are INCREDIBLY dated. It's basically just dudes running around with guns being told where to go. There is very little discipline, doctrine or tactical forethought that seems to go into what they do. I suspect this is due to poor training.

In meeting engagements between tanks, the 1st to hit the enemy usually wins. Bradley AFVs are fast and have excellent fire control. This makes them difficult to hit when the operator is well trained. Another possibility besides taking out optics is to to shoot where the turret meets the hull. Even if using HEAT at the Bradley's high rate of fire, HEAT would eventually get through protection and then possibly deform the joint enough to prevent the turret from working. Another possibility is that the shock of continuous hits knocked out something inside the tank. Another possibility is all those HEAT rounds choked the Tank's engine.

@kiritotheabridgedgod4178 2 ай бұрын

The Bradley's don't use HEAT, they use APFSDS and HEIT. HEAT, is a shaped explosive charge with a copper cone, designed to vaporise the copper and basically inject it into the tank on impact. HEIT, is High Explosive Incendiary Tracer ammunition, designed to just explode and possibly create fires on impact, whilst showing you your shell dispersion on both visual and thermal optics, in case of computer stabilisation failure.

also, Russia has hardly any well trained crews left. In high stress situations, since you (and everyone else) is in fight or flight mode, you revert to your training. So, likely that the Russians just panicked, understandably. They've probably never been instructed on what to do when getting raked by three 25mm rounds per second. And when the turret went uncontrolable, they couldn't get out so the driver went into the tree because the barrel of the gun would hit the tree trunk and jam the rotation. It worked, then they could get out. Bailing was the right move since Ukrainian FPV drones were operating.

Excellent point at the end about drones conducting a lot of knockout strikes against armor. We have also seen this in the Israel-Hamas conflict where Hamas has used drones to knock out and severely damage Israeli armor. This makes sense as the top armor of a tank is usually some of its weakest armor. Also, Hamas has claimed (and I can't verify this) that drone strikes are one of the best ways to avoid Israel's Trophy APS. I can't verify that this is true, but it could be because the lower velocity of a drone doesn't trigger the APS system. In either case, the usage of drones to destroy tanks is a huge change in warfare. It provides a very low cost method to knock out very expensive main battle tanks, once that gives the anti-tank crew complete protection from the tank (drone can be deployed from miles away). It's a method that requires tank designers to create a counter. There are two options that I see. You could add either a gun system or jamming equipment (more likely the latter) to defend the tank from drone attack. However, this is very expensive and would add more weight to the tank. This is an especially big concern for the US as the Abrams is already one big lady. The other option (and one that I have supported since before Ukraine) is to integrate Electronic Warfare assets at a much lower level in the US military (company-level in my opinion). This would give individual tank troops EW specialists and equipment that could be used to give them a EW bubble under which armor could fight.

As for the Russians, the Cold War Soviet Army was notorious for well trained inspection units, in which one tank was used to demonstrate one task, another for a second task, etc, with no one tank crew trained to do all the tasks. Russia may well have inherited this, "It's all to pass inspection" training style.

Also the Brad moving around so much, it would have been not been able to have been used. Either way, an amazing encounter and we are lucky to have seen it on film.

I'm still sticking to my theory that you mentioned earlier in the video. Sure the T-90 is a robust vehicle, but humans are squishy and consecutive concussive force mixed with the optics going out and the adrenaline of battle. I feel like that T-90 crew got a bit of a headache. I mean according to historian Sir Hilary Doyle, there was an account of a Panzer IV (it could have been a III or a Panther, I can't remember the exact details) crew being pelted by Soviet tanks for a good bit. The tank was all dented up, but otherwise fine. The crew apparently had died from excessive prolonged exposure to concussive force while they were buttoned down inside. So the 25mm Bushmaster might not be the largest gun out there, but it doesn't need to be to give someone a mean migraine.

Absolutely not an expert by any means here, so feel free to call me wrong. I’ve seen a lot of discourse around this engagement online, and one thing a lot of people pointed out rather cynically that the Bradley ostensibly failed to actually destroy the T-90M (which was eventually only destroyed later by a drone). Which is true, it was a spectacular light show but as mentioned the only damage was likely to the optics and external equipment. Meaning I have two key takeaways from this. The Bradleys and their crews did exactly what they were designed and trained to do in this situation, which is to button up the enemy’s optics with that 25mm and move quickly to not give them an easy target. While people were rather sensationalist about this on both sides, the fact is this: The Bradley did its job and successfully neutralized Russia’s premier MBT in a head-on engagement. The Bradley won this fight, plain and simple.

@auglazeallday5335 2 ай бұрын

I agree. I've also seen posts that are comparing these two tanks, which aren't comparable. The Bradley is NOT a main battle tank. The Abrams is a main battle tank, but there isn't an Abrams engaged in this clip. Also, the Bradley and the Abrams are outdated, which in my mind just shows how poorly the Russian tank performs.

That being said, we know that the T90 is a shitbox tank anyway, given it has a top speed comparable to tanks 20 tonnes heavier from several decades ago, and is using an engine that is essentially a slightly modernised version of the engine from a Porche Tiger... An engine that was considered unreliable 80 years ago, and is still unreliable to this day (As demonstrated in footage you can find of a T90's engine breaking down on the parade square in Moscow.)

@@CCM1199 Please tell us how many T90s you have shot down in the course of your service? Or share with us how many T90s you at least saw in your M1's view system to make such confident statements? Serial production of the T90 began in 1992, and the last rather seriously modified T90Ms were handed over to the Russian Army in 2020 and continue to be delivered to the present day. The Abrams, on the other hand, has been in serial production since 1980, and the last modification that started arriving in the regular army in 2020 is the M1A2 SEPv3. Ukraine received 31 Abrams of M1A1 modification, the oldest as you probably know, which after delivery stood for repair. All this information can be found on wikipedia. However, I think soon it will be possible to compare these two vehicles in action because 26.02.2024 Russian troops were spotted one Ukrainian Abrams near the contact line and I'm sure the first open combat in this theater of war will not have to wait long.

One thing that nobody is talking about. Even if the Bradley was unable to hit the T90’s optics directly, the fact that it’s creating all these sparks could potentially get in the way of the optics. The Bradley is firing so many rounds, there’s literally sparks everywhere. I don’t see how that couldn’t impede the T90’s vision.

I remember in the 80's a tabletop game called "Striker" (part of the Traveller system) where you design your own AFV's with cost factors for a parody of battles. My friend-built a standard large Main Battle tank. I opted to two medium wheeled AFV with 50mm auto cannons. The end result was he F-upped one of my vehicles and I stripped off every single external item his tank had. Including tracks and turret rotation. And with the last of my ammunition, I could flank it and finish it off. It looked a lot like what happened here.

TOW missiles (TWO, TOW2, TOW2A) have a minimum range of 65 metres to prevent launch crew injury for portable units and to enable the guidance system to initialise, and the 'top-down' TOW2B variant has a 200 metre minimum range to enable the correct flight profile, so for such close range combat they would have been useless anyway. Even if they WERE stationary they wouldn't have been able to get a detonation. As for video games being so realistic they can be used for real world training, just ask Jann Mardenborough and the Gran Turismo game that he played and learned so well he went on to place third at the 24 hrs of Le Mans using what he'd learned playing that game.
