I recall reading speculation that that one column of Bradleys getting shot up was the Ukrainians basically making a point to the American advisors - "look, this is what happens when we do it your way. We're the experts at fighting Russians here. We do it our way from here on." Most of the vehicles that were damaged in that column ended up being salvaged and can be repaired, IIRC, and I bet they protected their crews well. So a pretty brutal way of making a point, but not a hugely costly one in the grand sceme.
