Science and Technology Strategy The United States is considering sending Bradley to Ukraine to help it increase its ground combat capability According to the news on the website of Capitol Hill on December 30, the United States is considering sending Bradley to Ukraine as part of a further package of military support to Ukraine.
A person familiar with the matter said that these vehicles would be included in the future military assistance plan for Ukraine, although no final decision had been made.
Built by BAE Systems, Bradley is a powerful light armored and tracked vehicle with a range of about 300 miles.
The vehicle is equipped with medium and long range firepower and can destroy any other vehicle on the battlefield, including tanks.

Gallagher said that the bill would allow TikTok to be sold to an American company, and said that the plan was feasible.
In addition, Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader of the House of Representatives, said that Gallagher would be appointed to lead a new "China Special Committee".
