HEBRON, Kentucky (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden said on Thursday he was considering delivering the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle as a new form of military aid to Ukraine. When asked by reporters if that was an option, he replied: “Yes.”
The US Army has used the M2 Bradley as its primary means of moving infantry units close to the battlefield since the mid-1980s and currently has thousands of them. If deployed to Ukraine, the army’s firepower will be boosted.
However, Biden did not mention the M1 Abrams tanks Ukraine is requesting.
It is also unclear at this stage how many M2 Bradleys the US will supply. The US government is preparing further military aid to Ukraine, details of which are likely to be announced in the coming days.
