Rostec Highlights Limitations of Western-Provided Infantry Vehicles in Ukraine

Sergey Chemezov, the Chief Executive of Rostec, issued a pointed critique regarding the terrain performance of the Bradley infantry fighting vehicles currently in use by the Ukrainian armed forces. In a detailed statement to the Russian press, he emphasized that these vehicles face significant operational challenges on the battlefield.

Chemezov explained: “The Bradley has a serious weakness. These are issues related to terrain capability. Therefore, they cannot move properly on terrains and fields. They tend to get stuck in the ground and, due to their enormous size, become easy targets for enemy fire. Consequently, if their operational effectiveness remains compromised, increasing their security measures becomes largely ineffective.”

He further revealed that most of the Bradley vehicles supplied to Ukraine have been destroyed, underscoring the vulnerability of these systems in combat conditions. Chemezov stressed that an infantry fighting vehicle’s primary role is to be a fast, agile, and maneuverable unit capable of traversing difficult terrains—qualities that, according to Rostec’s assessment, are lacking in the American-designed Bradley.

He contrasted this with Russian-made infantry fighting vehicles, asserting: “Our vehicles are designed with these capabilities in mind, allowing them to operate effectively across challenging terrains, unlike their Western counterparts.”

Additionally, Chemezov mentioned that Russian experts continue to analyze and examine Western-origin equipment captured during the ongoing military operations. This ongoing assessment aims to better understand the technological advantages and vulnerabilities of foreign military hardware.
