New footage from Ukraine shows how US-built Humvees prove their worth; American-made Humvee and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles invading Russia; this is one for the history books.
A video shared on YouTube by UNITED24 Media, a Ukrainian state outlet, provides a close-up look at the vehicles in the Kursk region.
“Armored vehicle. A fragment, a small one. Didn’t penetrate,” a person can be heard saying off-camera.
Ukraine’s Armed Forces and Military of Defense did not immediately respond when Global Defense Corp asked for a comment on the video.
More than 1,700 Humvees (a shortening of “high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles”) and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles have been delivered to Ukraine from the US since the beginning of Russia’s invasion in 2022.
In August, footage shared by Ukraine’s MOD showed that Ukrainian soldiers were seemingly unhurt while inside a Humvee during an attack.
Ukraine has been open about relying on the US and the West for funding and equipment, including armoured vehicles. Speaking to CNN in January, a Ukrainian soldier said US-supplied Bradley infantry fighting vehicles were vital to maintaining their positions on a crucial part of the front line.
With Ukraine short on battle tanks like the Abrams, US-made Bradley fighting vehicles are proving their worth
“I doubt that we’d be talking with you doing this interview if we didn’t have the Bradleys,” a Ukrainian member of a Bradley crew told the outlet.
It marks the first US package this year and is crucial as Republicans in Congress continue to block a proposed additional $60 billion aid package.
