I am somewhat surprised that, what with TOWs, smart bombs, and anti-tank drones, tanks still remain viable weapons systems for use against equally well armed opponents.

I saw an explanation of what happened by a retired military/youtuber (Ryan McBeth). It seems to have been a mobility kill. I'll have to take his word for it as I don't know enough to question his insights.
How much are the Europeans kicking in?

I've looked at that video multiple times via The War Zone and I cannot find the second Bradley.

They are very viable when they are used as part of a combined arms assault. If they just drive around aimlessly by themselves, as it appears like the Russians like to do, they are pretty much useless. I watched that clip and it makes me wonder why there was no return fire from the Russian tank. One of it's 125mm rounds hitting that Bradley would have put and end to it.
It’s basically the same vehicle! The turret ring size, gap between turret and hull and location is exactly in the same place as that of the T-90M…

Try “Forces TV” on YouTube! Forces TV is a British Defense, similar to that of the Military Channel in the US…

And Ukraine had no T-90s of any series until they captured the first in September '22.
From what I read, the 1st Bradley had to turn around for unstated reasons and the 2nd one was able to proceed and engage. The commander/gunner was rightfully frightened, but exceedingly effective.

The Yurripeans should be footing the entire bill.
Which still means they had them! If the ten T-90A, one T-90AK and three T-90M “captured” in 2022, and the Bradley T-90M shootout taking place in 2024, means the Ukrainians had them for at least two years, even if they themselves may or may not have used them…

September '22 to today is 17 months.
Seventeen month equates to meaning they the Ukraine still had them to test on to find their weak spots in combat…

Russian tanks have the tendency to loose their turrets due to poor ammo storage design. Any penetration sets off ammo a Major issue they have not resolved. In Vietnam when T-54s or 55s were hit they lost turrets. In all wars in the desert most Russian tanks that were hit lost turrets.
BTW, the narration of the Bradley shooting up the T-90 explains the 25 mm ammo.

Well good, they should.
100% correct.
