A 30mm chain gun puts out a lot of armor piercing ammo in a hurry…

please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the Bradley had a 25mm gun

Yep, it's a 25mm.
I saw a interview the Ukrainian crew. Talk about a air of big brass ones.
They realized that dumping APDS and HE rounds on the T90 gave them a chance to survive the encounter, as retreating would have exposed them to the T90 firepower. Fortunately they or the second Bradley took out the optical sighting system and blinded the crew and made their 120mm firepower ineffective.

I wonder who wiped America in Vietnam?

Or Afghanistan?

Uhm, no one -- like, Ever - the US rarely looses a standup fight -- it's when the politicians get involved that, to some, makes it look like a military loss

You could have fooled me!

Running away, leaving billions of your equipment behind, is winning?

Nope. it's not winning - that's the work of politicians, though .. I can't ANY military commander saying "sure, it's a good idea to abandon functional equipment in theater" .. but politicians....

How quickly you forget what happened when an Arab Army, "the fourth largest in the world", decided to get frisky...

I thought they mounted TOW's on the M2?

That would have settled the T90's hash instead of just neutralizing it.

But it is the indian, not the arrow. The Ukranian crew was definitely more capable.

I dunno, there are now well-armed Sunnis on both sides of Iran...
