Ukrainian M2 Bradley Destroys Russian BTR-82A in Fierce Skirmish

The crew of the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade shot an enemy armored personnel carrier with infantry at point-blank range.

The corresponding video was released by the press service of the brigade.

It is reported that the incident occurred in the Pokrovsk sector. An enemy BTR-82A, carrying a squad on board, managed to breach into the village, prompting the Bradley crew to swiftly advance for interception.

The Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle and the Russian armored personnel carrier moved on each other at high speed and conducted continuous fire.

The footage shows how 25mm projectiles fired from the M242 Bushmaster gun hits the hull of the enemy APC, in particular, the place where the enemy squad was located.

At one moment, Bradley and the BTR-82A narrowly avoided collision, leaving mere meters between the combat vehicles.

Recently, on June 2, it was reported that the crew of the Bradley M2 of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade “annihilated” two enemy BTR-82A with infantry.

While awaiting the opportune moment for the enemy to venture into open terrain, the crew engaged with a M242 Bushmaster 25mm gun.

Russian infantrymen drove in armor under the anti-drone “grill,” so the gun gunner first fired at the areas of the infantry accumulation, and then at armored personnel carriers.

It can be observed that there was a distinct explosion on one of the BTR-82As, evidently occurring on its hull, where ammunition was stored, in addition to the infantry.

As a result of the gun fire, armored personnel carriers could not continue to move, and the surviving Russian infantry lay in a field near the stricken armored vehicles.

High accuracy in shooting did not leave some of the invaders with a chance of survival.
