Biden considers sending Bradley Fighting Vehicles to help Ukraine

President Biden is considering sending Bradley Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine in response to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s ongoing plea for additional armor to fight Russia’s invasion, now in its 11th month.

Mr. Biden was asked by reporters Wednesday in Kentucky whether shipping Bradleys is on the table to provide Ukraine with more firepower in its fight against Russian troops.

“Yes,” the president said, declining to elaborate.

The Bradley Fighting Vehicle is designed to carry troops into battle while providing them with cover firepower to combat enemy troops. The Bradley is armed with a 25mm chain gun and a TOW missile launcher capable of taking out most tanks.
