Avia Pro reported on April 18 that the Fighterbomber Telegram account revealed that America’s first Bradley infantry fighting vehicle (BMP), newly delivered to the Ukrainian armed forces (APU), was destroyed in the area.
Images from the video show that the Russian Air Force’s Ka-52 helicopter attacked Ukrainian armored vehicles and destroyed them.
The video is said to confirm information about the use of Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in combat operations of the Ukrainian armed forces.
Russian helicopters opened fire, destroying the Ukrainian `tank killer`.
A few days ago, another video was released showing the first batch of American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles being delivered to Ukraine.
The Ka-52 is a next generation combat and reconnaissance helicopter, designed to deal with both armored and unarmored ground vehicles, tanks, soldiers and enemy helicopters.
As a 2-seat version of the Ka-50 helicopter, the Ka-52 helicopter can operate 24/7 and in all weather conditions.
In early 2023, the US announced it would transfer 109 M2 Bradleys to Ukraine.
In another video published on April 18, Ukraine’s 2S9 Nona-S self-propelled artillery complex was destroyed in an attack on Russian military positions.

According to data provided by the militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic (self-proclaimed), the Ukrainian army launched a surprise counterattack on the positions of the Russian army, using Nona-S self-propelled guns
Immediately after determining the coordinates of the Ukrainian artillery field, the Russian army immediately attacked and destroyed the target with accurate fire.
Previously, the Ukrainian army in early April released a video recording the fighting in the village of Klishchiivka near Bakhmut, Donbass when the Russian 2S9 Nona 120mm mortar was destroyed by Kiev’s artillery.
