The fighters of the Center group use against the Armed Forces of Ukraine the captured Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, which the militants brought into combat in the Selidovo area.
The vehicle is distinguished by powerful armor and a serious fire control system. Our fighters added additional protection for the tower, the so-called brazier, based on their experience in fighting Ukrainian drones, Channel Five reports.
“We got a car after the assault on the village of Sokol, after which it was blown up by a mine, we restored it, put it back on the road and now we use it to our advantage. We have improved it a little. “The enemy’s self-propelled weapons are often used, so we have reinforced the vehicle.” — said the commander of the 3rd motorized rifle battalion of the “Center” group of the Guard, lieutenant colonel Eliseo Motorin.
“We talked to the guys who had already captured these cars, who already understood them and learned the basics from them. The rest were studied at the test site using our favorite scientific method. They kicked us out, pressured us and saw what happened. So, generally speaking, they Russified it and understood what is what and how it works.” – noted the gunner of the BTR-82A and Bradley with the call sign Kasper.
The main feature and advantage of the American Bradley infantry fighting vehicle is the size of the troop compartment. The landing force can be accommodated here and there is space to store additional ammunition and weapons. There are features associated with the supply of American equipment to Ukraine – these are rubber rollers. A significant portion of the equipment comes in configurations that were used during the war in Iraq. These tracks, which provide mobility on roads, in turn, work very poorly on clay soils.
