These machines not only intensified the capabilities of the Ukrainian troops, but also became an important factor that changed the balance of power on the battlefield. Army Recognition in their material dated December 2 has been told about what role the American BMP played in the Defense Land Forces forces of Defense forces. Developed in the 1980s for the US Army, M2A2 Bradley is considered one of the most versatile fighting vehicles in the world.

It is equipped with a 25mm M242 Bushmaster automatic gun, Tow missile system to fight armored vehicles and composite armor that protects the crew and landing from small arms and fragments. Its versatility makes it possible to act equally effectively in urban conditions and in open areas. Analysts say that since the start of M2A2 Bradley supplies have played a key role in Ukraine's successful operations.

Thanks to this machine, it was possible to minimize the losses in the benches of the defense forces and to significantly increase the infantry fire. American cars have particularly proved to counterattacks in the Kherson direction. Ukrainian units, using Bradley, destroyed several Russian T-72B3M and BMP-3 tanks, which allowed the infantry to break through the enemy's defense with minimal losses.

In Donbass, Bradley withstood anti -tank controlled missiles released by Russian troops, maintaining the integrity of the housing and protecting the crew. In one of the cases, the car armor withstood the Russian T-80BVM tank. Despite the damage, the crew remained intact and continued the task. In addition, M2A2 Bradley was actively used in offensive operations.

In the Mariupol direction, the machines were protected by infantry units, and served as a platform for the landing of soldiers in city development. High mobility and protection made it possible to quickly adapt to changing combat conditions. One of the main advantages of Bradley is her fire power. The Tow missile system, capable of hitting targets up to 3 750 meters, has become an important tool for combating Russian tanks.

Ukrainian troops used it to destroy armored vehicles before it could cause significant harm. The machines were also integrated into the overall combat system. In Donbass, Bradley was used in coordination with HIMARS missile systems and artillery, providing infantry cover during fortifications. A comprehensive approach increased the efficiency of operations and enabled Ukrainian troops to fight more organized.

In addition, Ukrainian commanders emphasize that these machines not only provide protection, but also increase the confidence of soldiers in battle.
