Russian defense commentators are already discussing how to destroy the American M2A4 Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV), with illustrated images of the system’s weak spots going around Telegram groups.
While still a few months from being deployed in Ukraine and possibly manned by hastily trained crews not fully adept with the system, even if it’s deployed on time, the combat vehicle still represents a serious tactical threat to Russian armor and infantry.
The fast-moving vehicle is an effective tank killer, an anti-infantry weapon that can scathe through plains and invade Russian positions.
As the intense urban battle in Soledar with heavy house-to-house fighting unfolded, Bradley could have mowed down Russian troops and allowed Ukrainian infantry to storm and capture positions.
With the 50 Bradley units planned for Ukraine, armored warfare will become a new dimension to the one-year-old war.
So far, the entire war has been characterized by long-range missile strikes, electronic warfare, drones, unmanned warfare (both sea and air), and a limited cyber component. But a more traditional form like armored warfare can be taken as signs of the war possibly escalating.
The Bradley performed exceptionally in the first Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm), where only three were lost. But it sustained a higher number of losses (150) in Operation Iraqi Freedom as the counter-insurgency situation exposed its vulnerability to Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) and Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPG).
