#Ukraine video from M2A2 Bradley that covered retreat from the failed attempt of attack on Russian positions in Zaporozhye oblast' two days ago. The Bradley continues firing and raising a smoke cover as crews of immobilized vehicles evacuate. Another Bradley gets on a mine or gets hit by an anti-tank weapon in the process. In general, that seems like a failed reconnaissance that ended in a pretty well organized retreat. Presumed location is 3.5 km south of Mala Tokmachka behind H-08 road. The video was already posted by major Ukrainian media, army HQ only says "Russians in defense" on these positions.

@kravietz they could at least choose old rusty Soviet BMP for reconaissance, or maybe those Emirati Panthera trucks. Bradleys are really expensive things. And one Russian telegram posted alleged launch of ATGM from a Ka-52 at some convoy, and it's no point to advance without air cover. The Soviets planned Tunguska as cover against such choppers

@Renegade_GDIIf they used Soviet BMPs we'd be now watching Russian videos with burning vehicles and dozens of corpses of Ukrainian soldiers spread around. I guess using modern vehicles allowed them to survive the mine field and retreat with relatively small losses.

@Renegade_GDI The job of these expensive vehicles is to do two things that the rusty BMP could not deliver: protect the crew, and to have the sensor capability to recon the route. The Bradley squadron was doing precisely what they were meant to do. What they were lacking was aerial cover and capability to recover the damaged vehicles.@kravietz

@kravietz the release of this video shows that this war is not only fought in the physical domain but also in the information space.And we in the west are the battlefield.Many people panicked about the loss of the Bradleys and Leo2s. And some felt confirmed in their bias that this equipment is to complicated for Ukraine.This release shows that they can handle themselves and the equipment in horrific situations.

@t_mkdf @kravietz of course people would panick if there's only a hundred of such M2A2 ODS and they get lost in recon pretty often. I imagine Saudis are like 'And we have 400 and we panic 4 times less, allahuakbar!!' (Houthis launch kornet ATGM and they panic)

@Renegade_GDI @kravietz but that's the purpose of these vehicles. Recon and assault. War is wasteful.

@t_mkdf @kravietz then another part of the recon squad should be some Marder or Tunguska, because some Russians posted that video of a Ka-52 that shot ATGM at the convoy. If that was some Soviet convoy with a Shilka or Tunguska that chopper would be toast already

@Renegade_GDI The only recent Ka-52 video Russian MoD posted recently was soon identified as 2022 video of them firing ATGMs at two agricultural vehicles in a field in Ukraine which they mistook for tanks due to shitty infrared cameras.@t_mkdf

@osma @kravietz maybe indeed some minefield on the road, there's video I can't watch because I don't use Telegram but the image that Russian trolls posted looks like some Bradleys and a Leopard and a remote demining vehicle getting stacked in a strange manner as if run into a bunch of IEDs placed by al Maliki Sadrist clowns, Kataib Hezbollah and ISIS too. Alqaeda also loved IEDs, and Taliban

@Renegade_GDISadly, 90% war related news are posted on Telegram these days, others are just copying. I'm not using the official client BTW, but open-source Forkgram.@osma

@kravietz @osma I'd really wanted it to be some web page like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram etc., and that telegram won't let save media, maybe Forkgram could help here, need to try

@Renegade_GDIBy all means it does, almost all media I post is from Telegram, saved with Forkgram @osma
