  1. It does not need 2 missiles The BGM-71E is tandem warhead variant while the BGM-71F is the top attack variant As Javelin and NLAW which are both top attack have been shredding Russian armor with ease, The BGM-71F would do the same If Ukraine is given the older the BGM-71E , it makes more sense for them to go for the mobility kill as the newer Kontakt 5 and Relikt ERA can protect Russian tanks against tandem warheads

  2.  @brianv1988  The tanks in Iraq had not ERA like Kontakt 5 and Relikt ERA. The Lion of Babylon and T-72M1 armor was 500mm ish The BGM-71E penetration is 900mm With Kontakt 5 and Relikt ERA , Russian tanks can resist multiple hits from the BGM-71Es The only way BGM-71E would penetrate is with simultaneously shots aimed at same spot which requires two Bradley A single Bradely can't double tap. , the FSCS Since the BGM-71F is top attack , it only takes 1 missile

  3. It depends In 1991, US forces were using BGM-71E which could easily penetrate 900mm of armor The Lion of Babylon and T-72M1 armor was only 500m ish hence why the TOW chewed them up with ease Kontakt 5 and Relikt ERA provides protection greater than 900mm however BGM-71F is the top-down attack variant using explosively formed penetrators Seeing the effectiveness of newer top attack weapons like the Javelin and NLAW, If Ukraine is given BGM-71F , then absolutely, the Bradely will crush Russian armor with ease If they are using the older the BGM-71E , it still will shred armor but they will have to likely double tap or go for the mobility kill
