Recently, foreign media including the British Telegraph released footage filmed in the village of Stepove in the eastern Donetsk region. The video was shared by Ukraine's 109th Independent Territorial Defense Brigade and Kyiv's 47th Mechanized Brigade, showcasing the newly revealed performance of the Bradley armored vehicle by the Ukrainian forces.

The Bradley armored vehicle was supplied by the United States to Ukraine with 190 units after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, marking the start of the war. Since then, the Bradley has been actively engaged on various fronts.

The video released by the 109th Independent Territorial Defense Brigade shows three Russian BMP-2 armored vehicles being destroyed by the Bradley. The three BMP-2s, which were attempting to shell Ukrainian positions defending the village, were completely destroyed by the Bradley's attack.

Another video released by Kyiv's 47th Mechanized Brigade captured a Russian T-90 tank being attacked by the Bradley. In the footage, the T-90 tank is disabled after exploding under the Bradley's fierce assault.

The T-90 has been in operation since 2016 and is Russia’s latest main battle tank, proudly touted by President Putin and sometimes nicknamed "Vladimir." Its unit price reaches approximately 3 million pounds (about 4.7 billion KRW).

The Telegraph reported, "Of the three crew members who escaped from the destroyed tank, two were killed and one was captured."

Meanwhile, CNN reported on the 15th that "the Bradley played a key role in helping Ukrainian forces repel Russian attacks near the village of Avdiivka in the eastern Donetsk region."
