The report said that the Bradley armored vehicles had been vital in holding off Russian attacks near the town of Avdiikva, eastern Ukraine, which has been the target of fierce Russian attacks.
The US supplied Ukraine with 160 Bradley armored vehicles as part of an aid package in early 2023, and they were used extensively as part of Ukraine's counteroffensive over the summer.
Ukraine initially used the vehicles as part of ambitious assaults on Russian positions, but Russian artillery was able to target them.
Images last June showed the charred remains of several Bradley vehicles in Donetsk after a failed Ukrainian attack.
