Russia has claimed to have captured a US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) in Ukraine and is reportedly preparing to parade it across Russia. The Russian Embassy in South Africa announced on social media that the Russian army had seized a 'fully operational' vehicle on February 26. Photos circulating online show the vehicle arriving in Moscow on a train, although the exact timing and location of the images remain unverified.
According to military news sources, the captured IFV displayed signs of armor testing, likely from strikes by a 30mm 2A42 autocannon with armor-piercing rounds. Additionally, the removal of armored tiles, known as Bradley Reactive Armor Tiles, from the sides of the vehicle suggests potential analysis by Russian forces.
