Ukrainian Military Begins Training on American Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles to be Delivered in Upcoming Months

Footage of Ukrainian military personnel training on American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles has been released. The footage, from the Bradley's airborne section, was shared by Ukrainian serviceman Andriy Gav, who serves in the 47th separate mechanized brigade, which is expected to receive some of these armored vehicles.

The training is taking place at training grounds in Germany, which has agreed to host the Ukrainian military. The military personnel have been provided with a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle in the M2A2 ODS version.

The M2A2 ODS modification, which Ukraine will receive, was created based on the experience gained by the United States during Operation Desert Storm. However, the main feature of the M2A2 ODS Bradley is its new command platform, the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2). This is a combat information system, also known as a situation awareness system.

The infantry fighting vehicles are set to be delivered to Ukraine in the coming months. This refers to the fifty IFVs that the U.S. government promised to provide to Ukraine in early January.

The Bradley Fighting Vehicle (IFV) is an American-made armored fighting vehicle that is used for reconnaissance, troop transport, and infantry support. It is named after U.S. General Omar Bradley. The Bradley IFV is equipped with a 25mm cannon, TOW missiles and a 7.62mm machine gun. It can carry six soldiers in addition to the three-man crew. It has a top speed of 42 miles per hour and a range of up to 300 miles. It has been used by the United States military since 1981 and has undergone several upgrades, including the M2A2 ODS version which is to be provided to Ukraine.
