The US President was asked during an interaction with journalist while traveling in Kentucky whether giving the tracked armored fighting vehicles to Kyiv was under consideration. He replied “yes,” without offering further remarks.
The Bradley Fighting Vehicles is a medium vehicle that can serve as a force carrier. The vehicle can carry about 10 military personnel. Bradley Fighting Vehicles are still used by the American Army, although it has been looking for a replacement for several years.
