Stunning Bradley Attack Takes Out Ballyhooed Russian T-90 Tank

On the face of it, this is just absurd. Far lighter Bradley Fighting Vehicles equipped with 25mm guns, a glorified, albeit deadly machine gun (or more accurately, "chain gun") should have stood no chance against the Russian-made T-90 with its 125mm cannon. The 25mm guns just don't have enough firepower to pierce the heavy armor of the 45-ton T-90 (or so we've been told) while the Russian tank can level multi-story buildings. Apparently, no one told the Ukrainians that though and they attacked the tank and destroyed it in a firefight. So how was that possible?

Somehow, with some clever maneuvering and precise aim, they were able to hit the tank in a vulnerable area, under the turret or through the barrel of the cannon itself and destroy the tank. Ridiculously brave fighting.
