Extremely cool video of two Ukrainian Bradleys taking out a Russian T-90M tank, their most modern operational type. It's a bit long and confusing, definitely helps to watch on a large screen, but very rare to see a tank on tank or especially tank on IFV duel on video.

It looks like the first Bradley engages the tank at very close range with 25mm chain gun fire going from the left to right at the bottom of the screen. The tank fires several times with its 125mm main gun but misses. The first Bradley then retreats to the bottom right, and another comes to engage the tank again with the 25mm cannon. It don't think that either Bradley tried to use its TOW missiles, ostensibly a more powerful anti tank weapon, but perhaps I missed it. At some point I think the T90M activates it's APS protection system, which is what the big explosions/flares/smoke are, so maybe there was a TOW or other missile fired or targeted at the tank.

In any case, the Bradleys, especially the second one, hit the tank with a LOT of 25mm fire in apparently vulnerable enough positions to send the turret spinning uncontrollably and the tank crashing into a tree, functionally destroyed.

You can see other Bradley 25mm fire in the background as well directed probably at Russian troops or fortifications in the distant treeline. It's been a very potent weapon for Ukraine. Just another example of 40 year old western equipment taking down Russia's "best".

Also, likely very important to the outcome for Ukraine to have this overhead view of the engagement. The Bradleys moved with purpose likely because they knew what was happening. The Russian tank didn't seem to really know what to do.
