Photo from the brigade's page A Ukrainian M2 Bradley withstood a hit from an ATGM while repelling a Russian attack in the Avdiyivka direction. The battle's footage from a Russian reconnaissance drone was released.
The battle took place on the outskirts of the village of Stepove, located near the Avdiyivka Coke Plant. During the battle, an M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle was firing at Russian infantry and was unexpectedly hit by an anti-tank missile system. However, the American armored vehicle retained its mobility and immediately left the position under its own power. The Ukrainian military is quite successful in using the Bradley ?2 for defense in this direction.
Sometimes, American IFVs work directly with FPV strike drones, together hitting Russian infantry in woodlines near the village of Stepove.
It is worth noting that the second video of Bradley captures Russian soldiers being destroyed in the woodlines where the invaders recently killed Ukrainian prisoners of war.

The Security Service of Ukraine has already launched a pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings into the murder of Ukrainian soldiers. At the same time, Ukrainian soldier Oleksandr Kolym, in whose unit the killed soldiers served, said that those invaders had already been eliminated. "The invaders who shot the unarmed military yesterday are all eliminated," Oleksandr Kolym shared.
The site where Ukrainian soldiers were shot
According to the Ukrainian General Staff, on November 4, Ukrainian troops repelled 15 enemy attacks in the areas east of Novobakhmutivka, Stepove, Avdiyivka, and Sieverne in the Avdiyivka direction in the Donetsk region.
Avdiyivka direction
At the moment, the city of Avdiyivka remains a priority for Russia in the eastern direction.
At the same time, the invaders cannot accumulate the necessary amount of equipment in this direction that would quickly surround the city.

"Avdiyivka was also important for Putin to demonstrate the ability of the Russian military to launch a counteroffensive to strengthen his role in the political arena... But at this stage, Avdiyivka is holding," Ivan Tymochko, Chairman of the Land Forces Reservists Council, shared. The situation near Avdiyivka remains difficult - there are currently heavy battles.
The invasion forces are deploying large numbers of infantry at the Ukrainian positions.

The situation is most difficult on the northern front of the Avdiivka ledge.
The invaders continue to attack in the direction of Novokalynove and near Stepove.
