In Ukraine, a convoy of American-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles was seen moving along public roads. On May 6, military commander Alexander Simonov announced this on his Telegram channel Call Sign Bruce.
The military correspondent posted a video with the mentioned equipment, the footage of which recorded at least 10 Bradley units with troops above the armor.
At the same time, Simonov clarified that a new symbol of rapid recognition (tactical sign) was found on one of the armored vehicles, which, as it were, hinted at forward movement.
According to Russian quasi-military audiences, the video shows one of the units of the 47th separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces (47th motorized brigade, military unit A4699, checkpoint B4750), formed in 2022 and actively undergoing the process of rearmament in early 2023. They suggest that the unit began to be transferred to the combat zone after the completion of re-equipment from the Soviet BMP-1 to the Bradley BMP, made in the United States.
Attention was also drawn to the fact that a week earlier the Ukrainian command transferred the “fresh and fashionable” separate 82nd Airborne Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from North-Western Ukraine to the field drive of Shirokiy Lan in the Nikolaev region. This unit was equipped with German Marder infantry fighting vehicles, American Stryker armored personnel carriers and British Challenger 2 tanks – this is now such a Ukrainian “feng shui”. Probably, in this area, close to the LBS, the brigade will provide combat coordination.
Considering what happened, it was concluded that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was pulling new brigades equipped with Western armored vehicles to the front line, making the final preparations before the start of the counteroffensive.
