President Joe Biden stated that there is a consideration of Bradley fighting vehicles
US President Joe Biden appeared to acknowledge on Wednesday that sending Bradley army battle tanks to Ukraine is a discussion.
When questioned about the Bradleys when traveling in Kentucky, Biden replied positively. Bloomberg News took it as confirmation of their December 29 story, which referenced confidential sources that the tracked IFVs were on the table.
John Kirby, the leading spokesperson for the National Security Council, responded differently when questioned about the matter.
In response, he said, “I’m not getting ahead of national defense selections that haven’t yet been taken.” Following that, Kirby repeated that the US was acting in “lockstep” with the Ukrainians. And also swiftly trying to meet their “goals and the skills and demands”.
Politico detailed how Ukraine was able to get the West to give it more powerful armaments. Such as mobile anti-tank missiles and HIMARS rocket artillery. On that very day, Bloomberg raised the Bradleys. Aleksey Reznikov bragged to the source in October that the “political system” in Washington was tweaking his requests to inevitably lead to “crossing the Rubicon”.
Last month, Biden agreed that the West was trying to evade getting immediately engaged in a war with Russia. Yet, despite Moscow’s multiple warnings, this would just lengthen the situation and raise the odds of an open clash. His ministry has pushed to expand the amount of weaponry delivered to Kiev.
For attacks, Ukraine’s leading general, Valery Zaluzhny, briefed The Economist in early December that he need 300 more tankers. Up to 700 battalion military vehicles and 500 howitzers than the British or German soldiers had on reserve.
NATO states have sent Ukraine their T-72 tanks from the Soviet period. And France will pass Reznikov’s metaphorical Rubicon by sending an unknown amount of AMX-10 RC wheeled light tanks.
In order to fight the Soviet BMP, the US built the Bradley infantry vehicle in the 1970s. It usually has a TOW anti-tank gunship and a 25mm autocannon. The American-supplied personnel transport from the Vietnam War. Mark Cancian of the Center for International Studies (CSIS) thinks tank dubbed it “in essence, a heavy tank” for the Ukrainian troops.
