During an evacuation mission a M2A2 Bradley IFV of the 🇺🇦Ukrainian 47th Mechanised Brigade sustained 2 ATGM and 1 mortar hit but still managed to exit the battlefield.

Once again, I would like to emphasize Bradley's "resilience", which has saved many hundreds of lives.

This heroic mission was carried out by our friend the Bradley commander "Kach" for who I’m currently running a fundraiser to buy electronic warfare system, which will protect them from FPV drones.

Once again proving that mobile armour most definitely has a place on the modern battlefield, and the importance of good armour!

Here's to hoping these guys are still in shape to keep it up and train others. And let's get moving on sending more of these and everything else that can protect them while they throw out the Russians!

And that armor on it is quite old and outdated. Makes me wonder how modern IFVs would fare, like the Puma or Lynx, the latter is also a contestant for a potential Bradley successor.

There's an engineer(s) of the Bradley who is very very proud of their work.
