Recent footage from Avdiivka in northeastern Ukraine showed a pair of US-supplied Bradley M2 IFVs disabling a Russian T-90M with their 25mm main armament. This example of an IFV turned tankkiller is not unprecedented, as footage from earlier in the conflict showed a Ukrainian BTR-4 engaging a T72-B3 with its 30mm cannon. Reports from Iraq also confirmed the Bradley 25mm gun was effective against the thinner side armour of Russian tanks.
