Overview

• Ukrainian forces, using a US-supplied Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, have successfully disabled a Russian T-90 tank, one of Russia's most advanced, in the Donetsk town of Stepove.
• Drone footage released by Ukraine's 47th Mechanized Brigade shows the T-90 tank taking multiple hits from the Bradley's 25mm cannon fire before crashing into a tree.
• Despite the T-90's resilience, the tank's crew eventually fled on foot, with two of them reportedly killed in action and a third captured by Ukrainian forces.
• Experts suggest that the incident demonstrates that infantry fighting vehicles can engage and seriously damage modern main battle tanks.
• Since the start of the war, Russia has reportedly lost 6,147 tanks, with some suggesting that Russia's focus on firepower and mobility over heavier, more protective armor is proving problematic.
