Ukraine's Armed Forces get a modern version of the Bradley with improved armour and digital systems
Ukraine will receive a more modern version of the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle than previously thought.
Here's What We Know
OSINT specialist @OAlexanderDK has studied photos released by the US Transportation Command and found out that the AFU will receive the Bradley in the M2A2 ODS-SA modification, not the M2A2 ODS. This is hinted at by the appearance of the BMP.
Looks like Ukraine is getting the upgraded M2A2-ODS SA version of the Bradley rather than the M2A2-ODS.

This version of the Bradley was introduced in 2003. In features it is almost the same as the M2A3, except there is no commander's panoramic sight (Commander Independent Viewer). M2A2 ODS-SA has improved armor with the use of titanium, more digital instruments and 600 hp engine. This modification of the BMP weighs 34,250 kg. By the way, in total Ukraine will receive 109 Bradley combat vehicles.
