Video Games Helped Ukrainian Bradley Gunner Win Duel With Russian T-90M Tank

The Ukrainian Bradley Fighting Vehicle gunner whose attack on a Russian T-90M Breakthrough tank was captured in a viral video says playing video games helped prepare him for that engagement.

In an interview with the Ukrainian TCH media outlet, that soldier, identified only as “Serhiy,” explained he’d just recently returned to Ukraine in December from Bradley training in Germany. Also the vehicle commander, he and his driver, Oleksandr, were only on their second mission together. Members of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, their job was to protect troops in a trench under fire from Russian tanks.

Going up against a heavily armored T-90M, Russia's most advanced frontline tank armed with a 125mm cannon, with the Bradley's 25mm chain gun was risky, said Serhiy.

“Yes, it was very scary,” he said. “But I think we did well.”

“I can’t express what it means to see a tank in the sights,” said Serhiy. “In training, I was saying, ‘God forbid I see a tank in the sights.’ It so happened that I did, and very close.”

“There was another crew that came first. It didn’t work out, so we had to muster up the courage and go.”

There are several comments. This one is interesting

But was impressive but not reported in the two articles dedicated to this event, was the coordination needed between the Bradleys and drone operators to take down that T-90.

Which is what I suggested when I posted that scenario I built of the incident

Mini-drones are spectacular at spotting targets for ATGMs!

More craziness (at this point it might be worth putting all this stuff into BLUE or RED to save Russian slots.)

The Russians are now fitting T-80B hulls with RBU-6000 naval launchers to fire RGB-60 bombs (212mm rockets).

if you Google

RBU-6000 naval rocket launcher

you will find quite a selection of improvise launchers most on MT-LB or variants ( and there is no real need for most of them )
