Love the look of the Ukrainian M2A2 ODS-SA Bradleys.

I wonder if these Brads are actually in Ukraine yet, or still training in Germany? The pics come from a German Twitter post with the below caption:
“Newly painted infantry armored personnel carriers M2A2 ODS-SA put into service with the 47th Motorized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine!”

Seems like a new version of the Cope Cage but even less effective and down right dangerous!

Here are other captions for the same pics (from Ukrainian Twitter accounts)
“American “Bradley” BMPs in pixel camouflage and Slovenian M-55S tanks armed with the 47th Airborne Assault Brigade on a military training ground in Ukraine”
“US supplied Bradley M2A2 IFVs in pixelated camouflage and Slovenian supplied M-55S tanks somewhere on the training ground in Ukraine.”

I don’t think there are any M-55S tanks training in Germany at the moment…

Crew survivability might seem higher, but if the turret does POP like all their predecessors, the tanks will still be gone!

Maybe even count the roadwheels and check if there is a significant
gap between the first and second roadwheel …

He calls it a summer house but it’s less than an hour away. We all know that it’s really a “stash annex”.

acktchually …
it is a 4 hour drive (at the legal speed limit) but only 30 minutes from my old home town.
The last mile sometimes require some manual work to make it passable for ordinary cars.
This summer will probably contain some hard labor …

So far, it looks like the above Brads and M-ATVs have no special Ukranian markings, other than the digital camo on the Brads. It will be interesting to see how they are marked as they move forward.
Is there any T-80U curretly fighting in Ukraine?
