This technique is the forerunner BMPT "Terminator"expected to be delivered to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The development of the "Viper" was launched in 1995 at GSKB-2 (Head Specialized Design Bureau). The base of the new product was the T-72AV tank, the hull remained virtually unchanged, not taking into account the removal of the tower. The equipment is armed with two 2A72 automatic guns, 7,62 mm PKT machine guns paired with them and launchers with uncontrolled aviation rockets.

    And it is EXCELLENT. Obviously, the time has come for "collecting stones" ...
    By the way, there are a lot of interesting things in the “backyard”, for example, the failed T-90 “Object-187”, in various modifications


    "Heavy" self-propelled guns based on BMP

      Sorry, but it reminded me of an American cut order for money!
      There is a ready-made "Terminator", it was written here, several modifications. Probably did it taking into account other, similar projects. And then suddenly the Moscow Region does not place an order for a finished model, and we are announced about work on a similar project, but raw!
      And what to call it ?!

        This is the restoration of the NEW MUSEUM EXHIBIT and nothing more. Do not look here for something more.

        Which in urban combat is the same target as a tank. BMPT should be able to control the entire upper sphere so that the barmalei from the windows do not naughty. And so - the car is only for open areas. There is much to strive for.

            The essence of BMPT - this is the cover! Tank support combat vehicle. In an open field, a tank can be covered by many means. But the most vulnerable spot for a tank is a city battle or near a trench. In thickets, rugged terrain. BMPT should solve precisely these problems. Shoot not at 45 degrees of elevation, but at least at 80. Be able to shell trenches (introduce shells with remote detonation), have an overview and analysis of the surrounding situation, and so that each crew member can work for different purposes. Then it will be the necessary military unit.

        At least bother to read the article before writing about cutting money over a new raw BMPT project.

      Not so old (this is a little over twenty) ... Yes, and self-propelled stones have not been seen. laughing

      Duc, definitely. Suppose I saw two fodder machine guns on this BMPT and began to recall where I had seen such a thing. I remembered: in the same Kubinka there is a "old pebble", the IS-7 is called. Here, just, he has two fodder on the tower (seven in total).

    I have long paid attention to how they relate to museum exhibits in Russia — they spend a lot of effort and money on searching for these exhibits, on their restoration, and then ... they give up rotting in the open. No need to spend money on a hangar to preserve unique samples, drag them to some open area, so that storage does not cost anything (meaning money) ....

      If money is from the budget, then different items of expenditure and it is impossible to transfer them.

      That is Monster_Fat: Does your friend often visit museums in Russia? Or, again, because of the large puddle is more visible? I really hope that it’s not up to you to judge by Google pictures ...
      For those who are especially “enlightened,” I’ll try to explain: “getting a carcass” for restoration is not even half the battle. This is just the beginning. Further, in addition to the problems of delivery, warehousing and storage, the problems of original spare parts follow. And this is in addition to the hands / heads of specialists and their archival work. If you, comrade, think that a host of enthusiasts are working on all these processes, then you are mistaken. Yes, by the way (all of a sudden you are not in the know), and after restoration the equipment is located right in the hangars. Even the mouse (Cuban).
      And two more notes: if it is just about military equipment, then the storage / preservation site is just under the sky. For this, it is intended originally.
      And the second: perhaps, unfortunately, not everything is measured for money. Although, unfortunately, there is no escape from this infection ...
      If you don’t understand all this, if you think that all T-34s from pedestals from under the open sky should be hidden in hangars, I’m sorry for you. I drove my children and grandchildren and will lead to these T-34s. To remember. To revive the Saur grave, for example ...

        C'mon, I remember how in Novorossiysk they revived the IL-2 attack aircraft lifted from the bottom and then put it under the open sky, where it almost completely rotted as it was very close to the sea. Recently, they patched him up somehow to preserve at least an external resemblance to an airplane, they poured paint at the very least, like "conservation". I still asked why it wasn’t immediately put under the glass “cap” to which I received an answer — it would be necessary to constantly clean the glass from salt and cement dust, and let it rot…. I also remember how in the open observation deck there, nearby, on the Malaya Zemlya, the MO boat decayed and collapsed, probably the only surviving one. If anyone is at this exhibition now he can see what happened to the artillery pieces, and other exhibits that are displayed there, they are now flooded with paint so that they look like something shapeless .... wink

          Pouring everything and everything into acrylic, or hiding it under glass caps is a rather stupid and costly idea for which the local authorities (usually given to them the responsibility of caring for the "local" memorial economy) usually do not have money. For centralized state allocations, there are also cost plans, and then, basically, these are costs for existing, state-scale, memorials, museums and expositions. This is also true for you - for development.
          Therefore, at the level of local enthusiasts / search engine / museum workers - what they can, how they can - they do so. To reproach them in their own business, at least - is worthless. Although the khaki paint from the village council is somehow knocked out ...

    At last! It's time to keep your story. For a long time I was at the Monino Air Museum. Impressed. It is a pity there is not what was created in single copies (more precisely, a little, not preserved).

    The good news is, there are still a lot of exhibits to be restored there. It's a shame when unique objects rust, and then they are generally sawn.

    For recovery definitely PLUS.
    In my mind, the Terminator should be an unmanned drone. Have radars that track thermal movement and give the operator marks. And already the operator makes a decision to destroy the target. And drones should go ahead of the ribbon
