Ukraine uses two US Bradley's to take out top Russian tank
A video shows two US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles taking out one of Russia's main battle tanks.
In the drone footage shared online, two of Ukraine's vehicles can be seen engaging a Russian T-90 tank in the village of Stepove, on the outskirts of Avdiivka in northeastern Ukraine.
Reports say the tank was a T-90M Proryv, the latest in the series, with the most advanced armor, mobility, and firepower.

The Russian tank fires first at the fighting vehicles, and misses.
The two Bradley fighting vehicles spray the tank with 25mm one-pound shells. The Bradleys aimed at the juncture of the hull and the turret housing the gun systems, the weakest point on any tank, said Bulgariamilitary.com.
The Bradleys, firing at close range from different directions in a combat lasting 10 minutes, eventually caused the burned-up tank's turret to spin uncontrollably and then veer into a tree.
Drones also help the vehicles on the ground by firing from above throughout the exchange.

The Bradley is fast and maneuverable and the Russians already fear dealing with it. Russia has already lost several tanks and armored vehicles in the fighting in Ukraine.
