Jan 23, 2023

The first Bradley infantry fighting vehicles should arrive in Ukraine in the relatively near future.

A senior Pentagon official told reporters about this, the Voice of America reports.

Regarding the specific time, he specified that we are talking about weeks.

"In the last announced arms package, we focused on giving the Ukrainians capabilities that they can use immediately to change the balance of power on the battlefield," the Pentagon official added.

In the previous two military aid packages, the United States announced the transfer of 109 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, called tank killers, to Ukraine.

This was followed by weeks of training on these systems for the Ukrainian military in Germany.

Speaking about the current situation on the battlefield in Ukraine, the Pentagon official added that after serious losses in Bakhmut, Russia is trying to reinforce its positions on the entire front line with tens of thousands of mobilized troops.

However, according to him, these soldiers are poorly equipped, and poorly trained, and they are thrown onto the battlefield in a hurry.
