Unfortunately, it is not known yet how many Bradley's the AFU received, but earlier the US promised to transfer about 100 units to Ukraine.
Flashback
The Armed Forces of Ukraine were to receive Bradley combat vehicles in M2A2 ODS-SA modification. This version of the BMP was introduced in 2003. In terms of features it is the same as the M2A3, except there is no commander's panoramic sight (Commander Independent Viewer). The M2A2 ODS-SA has improved armour using titanium, more digital instruments and a 600 hp engine.
