For several days now, footage has been circulating on the Internet of the shelling by two American Bradley AFU infantry fighting vehicles of a Russian T-90M tank that was ambushed near Avdiivka. Despite the virtually continuous operation of the automatic 25 mm BMP guns at point-blank range, the horsemen still failed to finish off the damaged tank.
A battle between one Russian T-90M tank and two Ukrainian Bradley infantry fighting vehicles took place near the village of Stepovoye near Avdiivka on January 13. According to Russian and Ukrainian resources, at the very beginning of the battle, the Russian tank's surveillance devices were damaged, which did not allow it to conduct aimed fire. Taking advantage of this, Bradley literally began to "disassemble" the tank, firing at it for a long time, the jamming system worked on the tank, as well as dynamic armor blocks.
Attempts by the tank crew to aim and strike back did not take place, besides, the turret rotation mechanism failed, which eventually led to uncontrolled rotation. Nevertheless, the driver managed to steer the tank away from the battlefield, after which the Russian car hit a tree and stood up. At this time, a Ukrainian kamikaze drone worked on it from above. However, this was not enough to destroy the tank. The entire crew left the car.

On Ukrainian resources, they cheerfully clap their hands and declare that two American infantry fighting vehicles allegedly managed to destroy a Russian tank, but this is not the case. The tank was damaged and withdrew from the battle, but the crew remained intact, and the combat vehicle itself, although it received a lot of damage, may well be restored. The ammunition did not detonate, the Russian T-90M proved its survivability.
