Helmet cam combat footage from Ukrainian forces defending Avdiivka shows a trench fighting position come under direct assault by Russian armor.
The Ukrainian forces have already suffered casualties and are not equipped to deal with a direct attack from hardened fighting vehicles. Luckily, some nearby M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles come to the rescue. They stop the Russian advance and rapidly evacuate the besieged troops from the no-longer-defensible fighting position.
The Bradleys taxi the fighters off the front line to refit and rearm, and the wounded begin receiving a higher level of care from medical teams.
