It has got to be disheartening for pro-Russians after they were so excited a few pieces of western armor were killed before, just to see Ukraine’s forces quickly brought back to higher than the prior strength.

    Unfortunately we will see a lot more destroyed NATO hardware before the war is over. But timing wise, the US having a lot of excess hardware they are looking to phase out anyway helps a lot.

      I don’t believe that the Bradley is currently being phased out. There’s a proposed replacement in the works, but that’s in the future.

      Each team is expected to develop detailed designs over the next two years, followed by a competitive prototyping phase beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, during which the teams will build a minimum of seven prototype vehicles with an option to build four more.

      Not even in prototypes yet, and the Army has cancelled a bunch of attempts at vehicle replacements in the past partway through.
