Bayraktars are back blowing stuff up.

Seems like the AFU just pulled them back for a while from the frontlines to let Russian ADA degrade enough to make it worthwhile to use again.

Kherson is considered non combat. Also, there are no missiles fired which is strange.

Also first Bradley FIST video -- they got something like 7 or so BFISTs out of 125 Bradleys

As it happens there's only one video of a bradley firing its weapons, I'm not sure if the FISTV are fully armed either.

Really ? The boat exploding wasn't enough for you ?

So because only one video shows a bradley firing its weapons you are not sure if the FISTV are fully armed ?

You have no evidence they are not but you are doing a fine job of making the prophecy you made at the start of your latest posting cycle become a reality,,,,,,,

Call me a troll if you want but I will still reply to your specific requests.

The TOW on the FIST is removed. I believe that's already in the game.

There is apparently a stabilizer issue with the older FIST, I don't think this in the game, correct me if I'm wrong.



All ukranian bradleys are m2 and thus a less upgraded model. The m3 and m7 have a stabilizer. It is implied the older bradleys cannot move and target, specifically the FIST.

This might be a general problem with all M2 or just the FIST due to the different electrical work.

Yet southward progress is precisely what the Ukrainian soldiers with the call signs Karatsupa, Pan and Taba seek, driving their American-made Bradley Fighting Vehicles down a road that is also, they believe, the road to Ukrainian victory.

Every day, under relentless fire, they drive fresh troops in and spent ones out, with just 30 seconds to make the swap on the battlefield.

“I’ve been serving since 2014 and I’ve never encountered such minefields anywhere. Just hectares of them, to the left and to the right,” said Karatsupa. “A lot of trenches, dugouts. And all this for dozens of kilometers. They even throw mines at the territory we are taking. Without the mines, we would already be in Tokmak.”

....

But without the Bradleys, say the men, no one would have survived. They proudly showed CNN some of the direct artillery hits the US-made armored vehicles had taken, singing their praises repeatedly

You are proving my point, my point is they are using them as transports and not weapons.

In the videos you posted it is evident the gun is not stabilized. But anyway, you did find it was able to fire weapons, but you also proved the sight is not stabilized.

In the third video there is no Oryx loss traceable to the incident so they are firing at nothing.

From TM 9-2350-252-10-2 for the Bradley.

BRADLEY INFANTRY FIGHTING VEHICLE PROCEDURES GUIDE: COMMANDER AND GUNNER (FEBRUARY 1984)

PDF Page 19, says that step #7 in shutting down the turret to exit the vehicle is to MOVE TO OFF...the STAB SWITCH.

This is a manual from 1984, for the M2A0 -- we know this because the M2A1 was not introduced until 1986.
