A fragment of combat work of the Ukrainian crew of the American IFV "Bradley" in a battle with Russian occupiers has been published online. As reported by Censor.NET, the video shows the launch of a heavy anti-tank TOW missile.

"The American IFV Bradley demonstrates its effectiveness in combat, combining the power of the Bushmaster automatic cannon and TOW anti-tank missiles. The video from the GoPro camera shows the moment of the launch of a heavy anti-tank TOW missile, designed to destroy armored vehicles. These systems work separately, but together they make the Bradley a remarkable and versatile combat vehicle," the author of the publication notes in the commentary.

The BGM-71 TOW is an American heavy anti-tank guided missile developed by Hughes Aircraft and adopted by the US Army in 1970. The missile is command-guided, semi-automatic, and is carried out by the operator, and is controlled via wire communication (the latest modification is via a radio channel). One of the most common ATGMs in the world.

It is in service with the US Army and Marine Corps, the main anti-tank guided weapon of the US armed forces, a number of European countries, Israel, and other states. The ATGM can be used with a portable launcher (PU) and on a mobile platform: various vehicles and armored vehicles - M1046 HMMWV, IFV "Bradley", specialized self-propelled PU M901 ITV, as well as helicopters - American AN-1 "Cobra", British AN-1 "Lynx" and others.
