The Bradley is NOT a 'Battlefield Taxi'—Here's What It Actually Is

The T-90M was supposed to be invincible. Russia's most advanced operational main battle tank. Serial production started in 2020 at the Uralvagonzavod plant in Nizhny Tagil—the same facility that had been churning out Soviet armor since the Great Patriotic War. Relikt explosive reactive armor designed to defeat tandem-charge warheads. The improved 2A46M-5 125mm smoothbore gun. The Kalina fire control system with enhanced thermal imaging and automatic target tracking. Russian state media promoted it relentlessly: proof of domestic industrial capability, the answer to Western armor deliveries to Ukraine, the tank that would dominate any battlefield it touched. In January 2024, a T-90M met a vehicle it should have destroyed in seconds. It fired three times. Missed three times. Then its turret started spinning uncontrollably as 25mm rounds shattered its optics and tore apart its sensors. Russia's $4.5 million technological showcase crashed blind into a tree, abandoned by its crew, finished off by Ukrainian drones. The vehicle that killed it? An American Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Not a tank. Not a tank destroyer. A Bradley.
