Time to send more Bradleys then.

Ukraine deserves thousands more

Seeing how effective they are in combat makes me wonder if they’re more useful than the Abrams. I’d imagine they’re significantly easier to maintain.

Different tools for different problems. Abrams is specialized to do a few things amazing and the Bradley is a general purpose tool that can do many things very well. We see the Bradley succeeding because it is in the right environment with a prepared team of operators. Abrams succeed where the only thing that doesn't shoot is a camera.

It wouldn't surprise one bit me to see Ukrainian veterans training westerners on their own weapon systems when this shit is over. Their experiences will be irreplaceable.

You can be sure folks from Raytheon and similar are pouring over the data and getting every interview they can

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Makes sense. They have experience with them now.

Wait, didn't they train the crews before???

[–] Burstar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

...

Before it was American and European trainers doing the training in European countries. Now it's the trainees becoming the trainers.

Ahhh, that makes sense, thanks!
