Great footage of the crew survivability of Western equipment. A Ukrainian Bradley takes a direct hit from a Kornet anti-tank missile – Location unknown – August 2024
August 2, 2024
By the looks of it, most if not all the crew survive!
These orcs must get so frustrated with this kind of shit…lol
Damn Amazen they got out of there alive. Glad they did.
I guess the Kornet hit the engine compartment. A little to the right and it may have gone straight through the driver’s seat and into the rear compartment, killing half the passengers.
You just don’t know if armor will save you, or Russian guidance system that causes the Kornet to “wobble/tumble” a lot in flight. The Kornet has a massive penetrating power, probably to compensate for poor performance in other areas.
Good fortune is always a factor — often the major factor. But Western engineers clearly devote effort to protecting the lives of crew instead of simply focusing on lethality and considering the crew expendable.
I they were driving in bmp-1 or 2 there wouldn’t be anything left of them – judging by videos of russians hit by stugna.
Damn that’s just about the best outcome I’ve seen for a vehicle that took a direct ATGM hit including t90s
Look at them runing like cockroaches 😂
Love the Russian comments that a bradley survived a direct hit from a Kornet and that everyone got out
Thank goodness these men got out ok. Luck has a big part to play in this, Bradleys are superb bits of kit but not invulnerable by any means.
I chipped into a fundraiser a while back for a helmet for a volunteer soldier, a guy in his late 30s I think, with three young kids, so he didn’t have to serve but wanted to. He went through his training and joined a newly formed unit that was struggling for kit. We got enough raised for the new lid plus some extra for some other bits. A few short weeks later we heard that his Bradley was hit and he along with 5 other servicemen died. That news hit hard. His story is one I’ll never forget. RIP Oleg Oliynyk. Героям слава
If those soldiers were in soviet high quality engineered vehicle. It and all those aboard would be there, over there, some over here some way over there and mostly on fire. Their personnel carriers have gas tanks as doors ffs. Slava Ukraini! Fuck the invaders.
Did its job and kept the men safe
Russian channels are celebrating this, like they cured cancer, or something.
Still sux that the Russians got a hit, unfortunately Ukraine has limited bradleys!
I have the feeling soldiers often bail out because of panic/shock…but that the vehicle can perfectly continue driving…
I mean leo2 A6 Turret has taken 2x kornet hits with min dmg i think maybe not the 1000mm + one

Time to find a new ride!
There is a scene in “The great war of Archimedes” (iirc) where some anti-air sergeant and his team shoot down a dive bomber attacking the Yamato.
The pilot bails out and gets rescued by some plane from VH-3 rescue squadron…and the Japanese sergeant and his men look on in utter disbelief as if saying: “wait…your pilots don’t kill themselves AND get rescued to fight another day?!”
THIS reminds me of that. “Yeah fuckers we survive and come again against you! Go fuck yourselfes, Slava ukraini!”
Ok US get off your ass and send more Bradleys already
That’s gonna need a new pack
The shot was dead center to the front of the Bradley thankfully, the most heavily armored part and with the angled slope to deflect some of the kinetic force of the missile.
Strike on right side? Maybe blew a track? Front end looks intact.
Wow, that’s just crazy but crazy good!
Deflect, deflect, deflect the energy of an explosion away from personnel. That’s the science of western military engineering and very painfully learned in Iraq.
Russia: Keep the shells near the personnel. Put some metal plates to make it LOOK impenetrable and put some boxes around and call them a research devised military term to baffle….and sell to dictatorships. (Russian 60 year tank/ personnel carrier propaganda to intimidate NATO/U.S.).
Russia invaded Ukraine: Ukraine easily blows up Russian tanks and discovers they never really made any progress on their T tanks since the early 70’s. It was all propaganda.
The good thing about loosing a Bradley is that we can always make more as long as their crew survives to man them.
“The Bradley ….. has a three-man crew, can carry **six infantrymen**,” Well, seven getting out is better than none.
I hope they were able to tow it back for repairs at some point.
They get shot at afterwards. Not sure if they all get hit but they definitely get hit some. There’s another extended post on /UkraineRussiareport . If the battlefield is capable of destroying a tank, you probably don’t want to be outside. Crew survivability is great if you are fighting a far weaker foe.
There are other design considerations when you build a tank. Weight and size being one of them, western tanks are heavy, take a lot of maintenance and repairs, guzzle fuel, and get stuck. Design is about tradeoffs not some objectivity better vs objectively worse sort of thing.
Armour at the front is made the thickest BTW. This isn’t purely a case of non-Russian equipment = impossible to defeat, it’s largely a result of the Russians striking this unit in the area that it has been specifically armoured a lot (it’s the same with tanks, the thickest armour is at the front). It’s quite likely this also was partly deflected by the angle of the armour as well.
What I am basically telling you is that the Bradley itself isn’t made of magical material, let’s not be silly.
T72 would sent the turret 100ft in the air in an instant after a hit like that
