There were an undisclosed number of them in the last aid package.

Also seen near the Polish Ukrainian border on trucks I think last week. I still agree with him though. The US has a ridiculous amount of them, soonish to be replaced too, and we know good IFVs make an actual difference.

This is very sad.

They should have destroyed more.

Daaamn, TOW blew the whole top off' that poor thing. Didn't know they were that badass.

I'll smile extra for you. I hope you can find something here that will lift your spirits. Maybe a whole-ass ammo depot becoming a crater or something? :3

They're the reason why the Bradley has such a high kill count on those Soviet tanks in the middle East.

There's also a reason why the US Army had to be forced by Congress into buying more tanks instead of replacing the Abrams with IFVs. The next generation will be reintroducing the idea of light tanks regardless.

I'm for now just curious whether Rheinmetall actually has a real chance in the competition with its Lynx variant, or if they're going to keep it in house with General Dynamics. Either way, Ukraine is a good opportunity to just get rid of a lot of their old gear and not having to go through the process of dismantling it themselves, which is typically costly too.

The Bradley was such a boondoggle in production, but has really shined here and in the gulf states.
