Nah, the Bradley just has a lag switch and a really good chair.
And his team was probably all already back in hangar lol.

Gaijin will now move up the Bradley to 11.7
Or, they should add actual damage to optics

As the Chieftain often says, tank battles are usually determined by who fires first as the receiving tank crew starts going through a significant emotional event
Arjun - blow of panels . T90 t72 - blow of turrets.

i mean, the bradleys are not tanks
@@Alpha-qz2kc well they technically are…
@@crowe6961 just complete chaos
The main question is where the hell is everyone? The Bradley had another one with it and a drone overhead. The T90 was just by itself.
Its Stepove...The village is basicly one of the Hottest fronts of the war currently...
It's very unusual for such a high valued tank of the Russians to go alone like that
I mean anything could have happened.
Stepove is a hell hole... 47th is one of the best Ukrainian forces ... And the T 90 means it was one of the best russian mechanised units... these are the top combatants of both sides facing off. That's also why the FPV operators are also so skilled.
Ruzzians are stupid?
If the turret was indeed stuck in autorotation, it must have been really frightening experience for both the commander and the gunner!
They all got out alive in the end.
nah... it doesnt rotate so fast... but i guess this is another point where crew-less turret would be nice to have
they tried to fly away
@@jebise1126 tankers call the turret basket a turret monster for a reason, would of been un fun to ditch while sping but they were also likely concussed from the 25mm impacts. may not of pernitrated the armour, but man that would of been causing quite the noise inside the hull.
@@jebise1126 But, it is. Tank is under enemy fire, alas the commander cannot guide the gunner where to look for target, nor tell the driver when to turn left/right, accelerate or to stop where. The driver has VERY limited visibility from his position. When buttoned down, he relies solely on commander's input on what to do.
Driver : Struggling to get the tank out of combat safely Gunner / Commander : You spin me right round baby right round

Looks like those russian shovels didn't save them
@@jaxonl7810no, but the armor did
@@user-ul9ky6bs7y😂😂😂 cope response
Two Bradly’s going after a MBT is wild especially seeing they were just using their auto cannons and not tow missiles
they have to stop to shoot the TOW. They probably didn't want to give the T-90M an easy shot
Crew must have the biggest balls on the planet.
Given that the first Bradley passes in front of the T90, I don't think the attack was planned so much as it was just covering a route the Bradley's had to travel down. The first Bradley leaves after suppressing the T90, then the second comes from the direction the first one went, as if he came back to help. Ideally if they had planned the attack ahead of time, the second Bradley would have cut across the snow and shot first into the T90's side, then have the first Bradley come in to fire a TOW on the side or rear of the turret.
They also had Drones to help with monitoring and disorientating explosive hits. This was a 3 on 1 fight.
Makes sense considering that Bradleys scored more armored vehicle kills than the Abrams during the Gulf War. That TOW packs some serious punch.
Surprisingly, it's a single tank on patrol.
russian army is a mess lmao saying that as russian our army is a joke in terms of plans and tactics
Yeah, very unusual. Especially for such a high-value tank. Maybe got lost from their unit? Or were detached to check something out? Maybe just a bad call.
@@combatwombat2134its not that unusual considering the location.
or for russia, not so surprising
Actually not surprisingly, for some reason I often see lonely T90Ms
This seems to reinforce the idea that whoever gets the first shots in, wins. In this case, the Brads started the dance, and were pressing the fight, while the Russians were having to react and couldn't get ahead of the battle and gain the initiative.
Nerves matter too. No penetration but explosions happening everywhere but you don't know what's causing them. You hit a tree losing your mobility for that moment and then you get another hit. I can see where panic sets in.
@@Burnttoaster1111 I think hitting a tree was on purpose. You need to stop the rotating turret to get out of the hull.
@@korana6308oh shit your righttr
@@korana6308 Unlikely, as you would never know if a tree would be enough to stop the rotation. And why sacrifice still mobile tank when you at that point still had an option to drive away.
@@korana6308 Maybe, but it puts them in a bad position if they're trying to fall back. Losing all your momentum and having to reverse and move around the obstacle while you're trying to retreat under fire?

C'mon, Tars
It looks to me like it was intentional.
@@hgyuuuuhj098 C'mon Tzars
I think he was just blinded and deafened. If the tank is mobile, why not just drive away safely?
@@arandombard1197 It's complete chaos inside that tank. They've taken multiple hits, shits out of control, and the crew probably isn't confident they aren't about to join the Russian space program.
How the Russians think having a 3mph reverse speed is acceptable is pretty crazy imo.
The alternative is heavier and more expensive tanks that are significantly harder to recover. One little known advantage of the transmission the T-series use is that a buttoned down tank can be recovered by another vehicle, without any work being done on the outside of the vehicle by exposed crew. So for instance, tanks can be recovered under fire. This is not possible for Western models.
@@jamesrowlands8971 can't they screw with the transmission abit though
@@jamesrowlands8971that is max level copium. How about a tank that you don't need to recover? And a better reverse speed was already achieved on soviet ära tanks without major compromises (even by underfunded ukrainian tank manufacturers).
@@jamesrowlands8971it's clear the only two things you know is jack and shit and Jack left town.
@@rgbforever4561 "How about a tank that you don't need to recover" Well this isn't a game though. Recovering vehicles is pretty much a norm in war. Besides, the AFU does have some struggles with recovering burnt western tanks due to their weight(Only western recovery units can tow such heavy machinery. Problems arise when those recovery units get destroyed as well).
they could have hit the tree to stop the turret from rotating so the driver could get out.
this would make sense, its clear the driver could still see where they were going before they drove into the tree
The crew was thinking clearly and was aware of everything further solidifies the thought that they are unharmed.
That seems like the most likely explanation to me. But I guess we'll never know for sure :/
Makes sense
Pretty sure driver has an exit that comes out below the tank.
Been waiting for RedEffect's take on this remarkable video. When you watch the zoomed out video the entire battlefield is engaged in intense combat. It's one of the most intense scenes of combat I think that's ever been shown on KZhead.

Cheftain, being a veteran tank commander, has always said that what happens in video games is impossible to happen in reality, yet here we are seeing solitary tanks, unaccompanied by infantry and not in convoys as if they were in World of Tanks wandering around looking for the tank damaged enemy that is camping and be destroyed in direct clash with other armored vehicles. That the first to shoot is the one who wins (Cheftain's words) and in fact in the video this is what happens. I'm perplexed.
somehow a person who was never in real war doesn`t give correct information about how real war goes
I'm pretty sure that's in reference to things like pressing R to repair your tank while in combat and not Russians using idiotic tactics.
@@iMost067he served in a tank platoon in both Iraq and Afghanistan and is still in active duty.
Chieftain did *not* invent that idiom lol
@@92HazelMocha yes there were. Back in 2010 several were delivered there.
My read on turret spinning and the tank driving into the tree is that the crew intentionally hit the tree so that the gun tube would smack against it and blow out the stuck traverse motors so that the turret would quit spinning and they could safely exit the tank. There's really no safe way to egress the tank with the turret spinning like that, they had to do something to stop it before they could bail.
i think it is just an oil leak in the hidraulic system. My guess is that they hit the tree on accident and it actually broke the overlub rotors making the turret get stuck in place. But it is a wild guess, its impossible to know even for the crew.
@@markusmachel397 a hydraulic leak cannot cause runaway turret rotation. The turret is operated by hydraulically powered motors. Leaking hydraulics would stop the turret, not send it out of control.
It would make more sense to retreat to friendly lines than bail out. The whole thing was a very long list of bad decisions. If they kept driving they Most likely would have escaped the fov drone. Many tanks have a hatch at the bottom of the hull for getting out of. Makes no sense sacrificing life or safety because something might happen; because being behind enemy lines, something now will happen no matter what.
@@ShuRugal I’m an engineer, I’m not familiar with military equipment, but I guess that there are Hall sensors in the tower that read pulses. These sensors read position the tower. If there is no signal from the Hall sensor, then the turret will be in autorotation in order to determine its position relative to the tank hull. In any case, 1 collision does not indicate the weakness of the T90M and the strength of Bradley. P.S. Russians forward, victory will be ours!
@@Mthammere2010 You're making the assumption that what will happen to the crew as POWs is worse than what will happen to the crew under continued Russian leadership. I'm not sure the crew holds that assumption to be true. Certainly plenty of Russians have been surrendering or defecting because they believe that to be the better option than to continue service in the Russian military.
The turret spun so much after that ambush that the T-90M would evolved into the T-14

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the T90M does engage the first Bradley. It is easier to see in the non-sped-up video but at 0:42 the T90 appears to fire its main cannon and miss hitting a house between the tank and the Bradley.
It's very difficult to tell due to all of the obscured and distorted light Reflections in the video, but there's a good chance you might be right
i saw the same thing
Yes, the T-90m fired towards the Bradley. This is a rather historic engagement that lasts for quite a while and deserves a longer video from RedEffect imo.
This is like the modern version of the Cologne tank duel
FPV
No matter how strong your armor is, being constantly hit with that much force of an impact will stress out not only the metal, but also the welded areas of the tank. that overall will affect its structural integrity. It doesn't need to penetrate, the damage it would cause would take a lot of time to repair, something's bound to break eventually
"lot of time to repair" WT player PTSD
True, however 25 mm sub caliber APDS certainly doesn't have the most punch, so its unlikely to be majorly stressed until around a hundred rounds hit
They got lucky the ammo didn't cook off. It has happened with small kamikaze drones before.
@@Gracefulwarrior2124I'm pretty sure countless shoots of beer bottle sized bullets traveling at mach 1 will cause atleast some damage. Especially to the optics. A blind tank is as useful as a soldier without hands.
@@Gracefulwarrior2124 its the TOW ll missile's that would be the most damaging also if the 25mm hits and shatters it could send shrapnel into vital areas not destroying the tank but damaging things like sensors or the ERA rendering the ERA useless.

Its so cool to see how combined arms warfare has changed with the introduction of drones. Its like a videogame with how quickly the drones can come in and strike.
its basically airsupport and recon but cheaper :D
Так здорово видеть всё это пока ты в этом не участвуешь лично. Надо быть полным идиотом, чтобы радоваться войне.
Reading this comment makes me want to be mean and hurt your feelings because you're trying to throw around terms that you don't understand, but I'm going to be nice. "Combined arms is an approach to warfare that seeks to integrate different combat arms of a military to achieve mutually complementary effects"
@Mrfraser OK, so our ideas of gravity didn't change when we introduced the ideas of relativity? The idea of combined arms was created thousands of years ago when we used bows and arrows and swords. If you are arguing that the idea of combined arms hasn't changed since the stone ages, then you are wrong.
@@LightskinCat You nailed it in your first sentence. If you read what I wrote, I quoted the textbook for you. "Military doctrine is the fundamental set of principles that guides military forces as they pursue national security objectives" Clearly you have a poor public school education and struggled to finish at the bottom of the class. The definition of "Fundamental" is "a central or primary rule or principle on which something is based." Your ideas are not the basis of gravity. You could never think of anything that would ever alter gravity because it's a fundamental force. It is a base building block of all matter in existence. The universe could not exist without gravity, and what you understand about it doesn't change anything about gravity. That's how you know that it's a fundamental force, because NOTHING CAN CHANGE IT! Do you understand that now? If I invent a new type of math, it doesn't invalidate algebra. If I develop a new formula, that doesn't invalidate 2+2=4. Do you understand? Is this basic enough for you? No matter what I do in mathematics, no matter what discovery I make, nothing will ever change "fundamental math" because it's "fundamental." The definition of "Fundamental" is "a central or primary rule or principle on which something is based." That's the reason why, science requires a mathematical proof... Because it's fundamentally proven as a fact if the math always works. Do you understand the concept now? The idea of combined arms isn't that you have multiple weapons on a battlefield at one time. Planes don't just fly around looking for targets on the ground. They could, and they do, but CAS has an infantry guy on the ground telling the plane where the bad guy is and spotting for the plane. That combination is what makes them combined. The two independent types of units began functioning as a single entity but they aren't necessarily co-dependent. That's the principle behind combined arms. How you could be struggling to understand that is ridiculous. Before you make yourself a fool trying to sooth your ego... We're talking about a formal academic science called "military studies" which is a college level curriculum that I can cite hundreds of textbooks for you. Trust me, your fucking wrong, it's that simple. You can get as butt hurt as you like. Kick and scream if it makes you happy. That's not going to change the facts.
Great analysis of an intriguing confrontation. Been waiting for a redeffect video on this clash to get what really happened.
Such a historical video that surely will be watched many years later
It’s probably one of the best pieces of footage we’ve had of armored combat during the war. It will probably be reviewed for years and years to come like the M26 and Panther duel footage from WW2
Man, i see opposite video where t-80 shot 2 ifv, but video was abandoned after week, so it depends on algorithms of KZhead
are you forgetting the footage where T-80BVM destroyed two T-64BV, or ukrainian T-64BV destroyed 6-10 their own guys, or where two T-80BVM engaged T-64BV, or where T-80B and arty engaged ukrainian 8-vehicles convoy? Don't forget those.@@ICECAPPEDSKY

@@ICECAPPEDSKYthat was a tiger 2 your thinking of I think
Nowadays if you dont have a recon dron over your head, you are asking to get ambushed
Well the Recon drone was probably half a kilometer away . Using its 10x Zoom .
Both sides probably had recon drones a few meters away watching the whole things.
Thank you for your analysis and clarify, Red
The thing that stood out for me is how Ukraine is obviously learning how to do combined arms to a high standard; The observation drone on station, someone coordinating from that footage, the call in of one or two FPV drones, there seems to be a couple of artillery rounds land in area while the two Bradleys are stood off, the fact the two Bradley's are manoeuvring and repositioning constantly... As Red says, even a good crew in a lone T90M would struggle because it never stood a chance. But on paper, a T90M should have no problem dealing with two Bradley's, it demonstrates in the realities of combat how important coordination is. The T90M crew do seem to try to get into cover, but when that obviously isn't going to work, and the turret rotation system gets damaged, it shows up why the slow reverse speed is such a problem. If that T90M had a fast reverse the TC could have guided the tank out of the area in reverse much earlier, but knowing they have to turn around to move with any useful speed, they seem to hesitate long enough for damage to accumulate.
My assumption is that the first hit from FPV drones already dealt substantial damage before Bradley came in in ambush.
Both sides had infantry support as well as drones. There are several videos from this particular firefight in Stepovne and this isolated clip doesn't really show the true picture because there were other vehicles, as another poster has commented the battle was really intense with losses on both sides. Coincidentally 2 Bradleys were destroyed by Russian ATGM crews hiding in a tree-line when they moved across a field towards the railway line, maybe even these 2.
@@stevebuckley7788sounds like made up tbh. Russians always claim they destroyed the thing that just destroyed one of their things. Patriot, fighter jets, tanks and everything else pretty much. So I really doubt it.
Both sides had a lot of time to learn. The Bradleys in the video are from the 47th Mechanised Batallion, an Elite formation, likewise the T90M means those werent rookies on the Russian side. Simple put, this was an engagement where the Ukranians had the initiative and better coordination, in such situations its really hard to fight back, the destroyed T90M is the result.
@@rafaelomansan: I saw an interview of crew of one of the Bradleys and they were really inexperienced, this was like their second operation ever in Bradley. And the driver had driven only a passenger car before his training. But they had been in infantry, tho, so new only to the vehicle.
I like your content and appreciate how much you do to get it right.
Hadn’t seen the 2nd clip very interesting, guessing Bradley destroyed optics too causing literal blind panic, hence taking a while to correct

Honestly that T-90m did a it’s job very well, even without the side relikt ERA it was still able to resist tons of armour piercing rounds from two IFV’s plus 2 fpv drones not to mention the fact that the tank received minor damage and can still be recovered and fixed and most importantly the crew of 3 made it out alive. Still this encounter was a very intense one and I have respect for both the T-90 crew and the bradley crews
that tanks was blown up by other FPV drones later. If the crew survived? Who knows, they made it out of the tank, but they made it to a place who where atleast 2 enemy ifvs around who know there location.
@@markusmachel397Well I pointed to the initial encounter not the aftermath plus my point still stands the tank did a good job of surviving and if there were any friendly tank patrols close at that point of time they could’ve recovered it and there weren’t any videos of the same tank crew being killed so by that we can understand that they made it out alive
@@markusmachel397 wait why do you say "if the crew survives"?
How do you know the T-90M can be recovered and repaired?
@@borkwoof696From the photo, if it was destroyed there would be huge amounts of damage and giant holes on the tank and the turret would most likely be missing.
My thoughts, the sights got blown out either by the Bradley or the initial explosion (arty, FPV?). The turret mechanism failure was caused by the second Bradley, possibly a turret ring strike, or possibly shrapnel causing an electrical/hydraulic fault. You can see that the tank struggles to disengage because it doesn't have a reverse speed, it tries to reverse away and it crawls away SO slowly. And then when they finally do decide to turn around a second bradley appears to give rear armour fire, a bad day to be in a tank with a bad reverse speed. In any case i think that whatever jammed the turret rotation also completely stripped the great ring/gear mechanism after it hit the tree, the gears aren't going to stop spinning so either the turret ring gear got stripped, or the turret rotation mechanism got stripped. I don't think they rotated the turret o allow the driver to escape, i think that was just convenient, but that may come from me misunderstanding which direction the tank hit the tree in (i think it was going forward? could be wrong). In any case, it shows that while people say "you can't pen a tank with an autocannon" that doesn't mean that they can't damage sensitive systems or just put the fear of god into a tank crew. Think about being in that tank, you are in a town with little to no infantry support for, god knows what reason, you are getting hit by Indirect fire, FPV drones are plinking all around (and you know how precise they can be), and on top of all of that a fucking bradley starts smashing you with autocannon fire point blank, and blinds both gunner and commander optics. I think there was likely a lot of panic and disorganization in that tank and it all boiled down to it driving into a tree.
Apparently in tank biathalons, they have had this exact issue before. I still dont know how shitty the engineering must be for traverse motors to simply get stuck like that. If it was competently designed, it would be complex enough for the drive to just not work when damaged. Are the traverse motors just regular brushed DC motors? Did the encoders or whatever get damaged or something?
@@honkhonk8009 not sure regarding the specific engineering, they are quite powerful motors given what they are moving and how quickly. That being said a short circuit or any number of other issues (e.g. contacts being stuck on the control mechanism ) could have caused that. All of which could be caused by battle damage. People think of tanks as lumbering behemoths built like a brick shit house. The reality is they are a very heavy, very expensive sports car from about 1970 (ironically when most of them were designed) which means low reliability and frustrating trouble shooting. A lot can and will go wrong if you leave it lying around too long with no maintenance. And when it comes to battle damage, anything is fair game given that in average there is several tons of electrical cabling.
Imagine how loud those 25mm smacking against the tank be for the t90 crew
The T90M has the same abysmal 4kmph reverse speed as the T90A and all of the T72 series. It did have reverse but it's pointless to crawl with 4kmph in combat.
On top you forgot to mention, they blew two of their fire smokes, they know bradleys can have tow missles or someone disembark with atgm and they are dead; they are blind, turret is rotating. No one in their place could do anything better, unless some battle hardened complete psycho rambo. They got scared shitless, made mistakes and just bailed out. If t90m had proper reverse speed, most likely they would have saved themselves and the tank and disengaged properly. It shows that huge weakness of t series tank. russia still refuses to fix
After taking multiple hits from several directions, and possibly after loosing situational awareness im not surprised the crew bailed - buttoned up and not knowing whats going to hit next must be terrifying ..
As always, great video
The T-90 took so much hits yet it was still operational, other than having its turet rotating like crazy… The Bradley crews were brave as much as they were lucky, because it would take a T-90 to take one shot to completely destroy a them, especially from such close range…
0:37 when the Bradley disengages we can see the T90 firing and hitting the ground in front of it directly towards the Bradley. They got quite lucky..
Nah , it was T-90’s crew skill issue .
I doubt it was operational in any meaningful sense, its sights were probably all destroyed making it nearly impossible to actually hit anything. At this close a range a tank starts being at more of a disadvantage since autocannon fire can easily destroy its sights and autocannons have a massive fire rate advantage. The tank would do much better at longer range where autocannons have a hard time destroying sights and the relative motion of the Bradleys would be smaller.

Good analysis thank you
I while ago, a CH-47 crashed because a tablet that the pilot was using fell off and jammed the controls. I think a similar occurrence is to blame for the turret rotating uncontrollably given that they were able to stop it. Maybe the concussive force from being hit caused something to fall and jam the turret controls
for example?
I just imagine the crew started hearing "No Time For Caution" from the Interstallar soundtrack after the spin.
Great analysis and sound reasoning.
I think it's likely that the turret mounted sighting systems were probably damaged very early in the engagement because the t90 didn't even appear to be fighting back for most of the video. Either the sighting systems, or the turret took a hit that caused the turning machinery to malfunctioning, which is the only way I could think of for why the turret could go from unable to fight back to uncontrollably spinning. It was a pretty strange video, but i think it also highlighted the importance of decent reverse speed, and how much even the t90 suffers from not having it. The t90 really ended up between a rock and a hard place when it desperately wanted to get away from the Bradley fire, but knew that it didn't have the reverse speed to escape without exposing the rear armor to that same Bradley fire.
the ukrainians made war thunder look like a tea party .
ask nearly mililon dead on both side, you must be something ....in the head...or you are just British...and you are forgiven!🤣
@@VladimirStevanoviclennon33how your comment is related to a joke?
Good analysis red.
yes, I was hoping you'd make a video about this
Most importatnt that the crew intact. Was ambushed by two bradleys, after blinded by fpv drone. Tank optics and targeting systems was damaged. Bradley can't penetrate the armor. Tank is already uder repair.
Copism
Doubt the tank has been recovered, it's probably rusting out in the field still full of snow slush
I could imagine that the noise of the 25mm bushmaster smacking the tank constantly was probably awful for the crew and may have caused a lot of panic here
Excellente analyse, merci!
Great video!
Boys! Redeffect has dropped a new video.
2 important conclusions for me: - Bradleys in combination with artillery can take out a tank. - The tank, T-90M, fulfilled its purpose of protecting the crew and keeping them alive. Assuming the crew wasn't killed right after running away from the tank. The tank can even be recovered and possibly repaired. That is awesome. Edit: Bruh I started a comment war, expected, but not my goal lol. I just say this from an engineering/tank enthusiast point of view, that is all.
Probably cant be recovered as it is in the grey zone + i assume it will be destroyed by couple more FPVs
Massive cope
It can't be. There was footage released after of drones dropping grenades in the hatch a while after the fight.
That tank wont be recovered.
Copium
I was waiting for this from u
Thank you!!
I'm just surprised the Brads didn't have dismounts with anti-tank weapons.
It's not unlocked yet
yeah they still researching that in their skill tree
The Bradley has to stop to fire it’s atgm. It most likely was trying to not be a potential easy target.
@cyraxisme9998 yup combined with it being so close would have been a death sentence
@@cyraxisme9998 I never mentioned them using their TOWs.
At 1:24 you can clearly see one of the Bradley rounds hits the T-90M and sets something on fire, which in turn creates the explosion at 1:25 which is clearly oriented towards the right side. Further in the footage we see something on fire on the T-90M`s left front turret area, but on the photos with it abandoned (example 2:55) there is nothing damaged (except the laser rangefinder) and no burn marks on the left side of the turret. Strange. Instead there are some burn marks around the commander`s sight which implies the Bradly maybe tried to pull a warthunder stunt by damaging some modules :)))
IR smokes
@@zethicc7557 the IR flares are at 0:55 and you can see them being launched before they light up, as opposed to what happens at 1:24 .
@@bolbarazvan that is true, if you slow the video down right before the drone hits, you can see that it is on fire. Its a quite small fire and its get put out or made larger by the drone shortly after the hit.
@@bolbarazvan he hit the remaining ir smoke
My guess it is an explosion in the external ammo stowage bin at the back of T-90M turret. Some reserve ammunition cooked off but nothing catastrophic happened because it basically a big blow out panel.
It's crazy that we can see the carnage of war from multiple camera angles. Now all we're missing is a live feed with a commentator & sponsors.
Are the Vatniks still putting washing machine circuit boards in their tanks?
You can clearly see the turret on spin cycle
There is an interview out there with Ukrainian press talking to one of the Bradley crews. The commander/gunner of one of the Bradleys stated that they were targeting the T-90's optics sensors at the top of the turret with the intention of "blinding" the tank.
Because the Brads blow out the cameras, the T90 become blind.
By that, almost disabling the tank, technically one could look out, but that would be dangerous
You spin my turret right round like a record
T-90’s reverse speed really killed it here. Leopard II, etc would reverse and pop smoke and keep frontal armor towards bradleys
Леопард бы сгорел после первых попаданий или вы забыли какая броня там?)
I dont know about that in this case. Doesnt seem like a situation in which mobility would have saved a lot unless the Leopard knew what the Bradleys where doing in real time. Because how do you use mobility as an advantage when you dont know where to go?
@@ChocoBoy24 Смотря какой леопард. У Леопарда 2А6 нормальная броня. Да и с живучестью у него дела получше, компоновка не такая плотная.
Lol, What's the point if the bradley was never able to penetrate the T90M? T90M drove calmly while 25mm scratched the paint
@@Niko_rjwell it got killed in combat by cheap drones which is even more embarrassing 💀💀💀
It’s a kill in the sense it took the tank out of the fight. Something got through the armor that caused the turret to spin uncontrollably and the driver to freak out and drive blindly into a tree and get stuck.
Exactly just like a mobility kill. If you knock something out of the fight for the near future it is a kill on the battlefield. Not to mention this tank was totally knocked out and can't be recovered after the fight.
Jeez if those bradleys were equipped with TOWS that t-90’s crew WOULD NOT have survived.
You cant fire tows while moving, so if they stopped moving the bradley wouldve gotten popped most likely.
@@YourSocialistAutomaton i tend to agree…its a shame the army didnt develop them to be fired while moving…would be a game changer but more than likely would make them inaccurate as hell when moving
@@Jrod4.6L tows are fed by a wire They are all wire guided missiles It wouldnt be a TOW if its not wire guided.
Imagine the chaos inside the tank when the turret just decides to spin like a beyblade and the driver, confused goes straight into a freaking tree
The tank did the main thing - it saved the lives of soldiers! That's what they proved to me on Reddit when I took off the wounded leopard.... It seems to me that the same thing happens here) Tank saved his team....
It really didnt. ATGMs werent even fired, only APDS from the 25mm of a 1980s IFV. For all intents and purposes, the tank shouldv performed much better against that. Western mbt's dont have much problem taking repeated HE rounds to the front. It doesnt jam much. Its obvious this is a manufacturing flaw considering the T90M had the same malfunction in previous tank biatholons.
you realize those were AP rounds, clownie?@@honkhonk8009
@@honkhonk8009 Well it seems that the turret traverse has been damaged prior, possibly due to an fpv drone, which kinda explains the issue. Still, seems like non-pens. western mbt's have the issue of being shrekt by nearly anything through the sides and the roof due to rather poor protection as well as big dimensions of said profiles. Leopards even seem to be susceptible to shrapnel from artillery fire, due to the rear being rather paper thin. Which probably explains why destroyed leo's in the footages have their engine compartment burned up Not to mention general reliability issues which have been bought up by the germans
@@honkhonk8009What NATO MBT was in such a situation? Withstand constant hits from 2x 25 mm cannons and several FPV Drones? Everyone has seen how leopards stop after 1 drone.
@lordlol3787 so have Russian tanks, what point are you even trying to make? Oh hey did you know that a bullet to the head can kill anyone? Crazy I know, (that's your argument)
That was outstanding work from the Bradley crew !!
Dude, they just couldn't finish off one half-dead tank, + if you watch the whole video in full, you can see that the Bradleys were killed by artillery

Magic of ERA and Shtora
@@MoskusMoskiferus1611Neither ERA, nor the Shtora do anything significant against 25mm autocannon rounds. What even gave you that idea?!
@@MoskusMoskiferus1611pretty sure T-90Ms ditched the shtora no?
So the T90 got hit by atgm, 2 bradleys for sometime and drones but still survived letting the crew to safety...
Most likely loitering munition not ATGM
Proof a well trained and experienced crew can do wonders… especially with the right gear
Explain how? They had no infantry support and were under attack by two IFVs. What would you have done in that situation?
Not send tanks into a position without support
@@YourSocialistAutomaton It's a stand off against a heavily armored tank that can one shot that old ass apc. The T90M being more technologically advanced and more armor lost because the crew was well trained. Maybe thats how?
When 2 basic infantry fighting vehicles take out your most advanced tank
we watching the same video? 2 or 3 hits from the drones took it out
@@libre1245 took it out yeah, but the Bradly damaged it enough to make it impossible to use to fight back,
@@bigman6424 I'd say it was the first hit from the drone/ATGM which made it "impossible" for the T90 to fight back.

@@bradlyfan your comment is as biased as your Nickname. Thank god ukraninas arent as bad as you and they planed the ambush with a drone strike first. If they were as propaganda feed as you and tried to fight head first that T-90 they would not have seen another day....
The tank was first attacked by a drone. Three Bradleys shot at him, the first was destroyed, the second used up ammunition, and the third shot at "finishing off". The tower jammed, but the crew evacuated from T-90, and then the tank was dragged to the rear of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to replace the active protection.
Why did Russia need to recover this? We are told above that it is delivering 50 T90s a week (and more T72 and T80) - at the evident rate of crew loss there is no way Russia can man and service this many new tanks - it certainly doesn’t want to waste time on old ones.
@@johngraham245 to dig them in instead of armored personnel carriers.
Did you get this all in a dream??? No evidence of a destroyed Bradley.... And location of this T-90M means it is not getting recovered....its right in the grey zone in Stepove at map co-ords 48.19518715862106, 37.67898559570313, this is right between the Russian's and Ukrainian's.

Truly a War Thunder moment
Is there any evidence that the russian soldiers wore high tights and skirts?
Im gonna play War Thunder with Bradley tank
@@redstoneholmes7945not without 3 months of grinding first
This is practically the definition of "point blank" with how close these guys were to each other. Crazy. I'd say the initial explosion was likely a switchblade or similar drone acting as short-range recon.
that the gunner has left this realm lmfao
wonder what was going through the T-90 crew, when the turret was rotating uncontrollably, unable to do anything and being shot at..
Hatches were open and tank looks pretty unharm, so crew must survive, i think.
Or they were finished off by other FPV drones. That's a possibility too!
What a sound all this rounds must make innside the tank.
Looks like hydraulics damage. Cutting power to the turret and using the manual crank probably took care of that, but they were crippled an alone when the second drone hit, so they bailed. Also, Bradleys have ATGMs for use at range, so remaining aboard would have been suicidal.
"Don't worry, the Bradley can't hurt you..." The Bradley:
I take back everything bad I ever said about the 25mm BM chaingun.
So you just pass the fact that the Drone that hit the tank first did almost all the Damage ? OK
@@sterben2064copism
@@sterben2064ok but all their optics were lost so it’s not like they could shoot💀
@@GrindThunderer thats right but without the FPV Drone the Bradleys should not have had a chance to disable the T-90 in that way So the MVP on that ambush were the Drones not the Bradleys
@@sterben2064 true that
Does firing at it with a pop-gun auto cannon that couldn't possibly penetrate the armour set off the reactive armour, so you can then fire the ATGM without that reactive armour protection?
This channel must be the best war explanation channel just cause there is no bias for said countries.I can see you only want to describe the combat that took place in detail.
"A Russian tank turret did not pop! MY day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable!" - some dude The T-90 did tank all those hits though and the crew survive.
The tank is not destroyed, just damaged 😏
Copism 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You spin my head right round right round Like a turret baby Right round round round
People "omg a Bradley took out a T-90!!!" Drones " am I a joke to you ?"
It's a war anything can happen, see the T-90M resist all that damage, it's a pretty good tank.
yeah, but not reversing quickly and exposing it's rear armor might've in the end caused this to happen.
It didn't resist it very well if 25mm rounds made it's turret enter "helicopter mode"
@@tunnar79 The crew survived and the tank looks like it can be repaired.
@@kirabay1255 It's not getting repaired after being struck by drones. Also, Stepove is right on the frontline, recovering it from there is a fever dream.
@@tunnar79 The possibility that it could have been repaired is sufficient for the efficiency of this type of tank, just as the t-72 are tanks that can be easily repaired in the field unlike tanks like the leopard A2 that require being taken to specific workshops very far from the front.
According to #WarThunder, I think the Bradley hit the gun breech. This is Live #WarThunder Realistic Battle.
