The number of transferred equipment is not reported, it is noted that all vehicles have been overhauled with modernization to the level of BTR-82AM. As part of the ongoing work, the equipment received a completely new power unit, fighting compartment and components, which made it possible to significantly increase the firepower of the armored personnel carrier, as well as its mobility.

JSC "81 BTRZ" carried out scheduled repairs with the modernization of armored personnel carriers BTR-80. Combat vehicles were brought to the form of BTR-82AM, passed all types of tests and were accepted by representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense

- leads TASS UVZ message.

The equipment has already been shipped and sent to the military. It is possible that part of the party will go straight to the Donbass, where reserves are being formed now.

As previously reported, the BTR-82 is available in two versions - BTR-82A and BTR-82AM. The first is produced "from scratch", and the second is obtained by modernizing the BTR-80 armored personnel carriers, of which several thousand units have been produced since 1984. The BTR-82AM variant was put into service in 2013.

The BTR-82A and BTR-82AM use anti-splinter protection made of multilayer synthetic material on the inner surfaces of the hull, as well as an anti-mine floor covering. In addition, the seats in the armored personnel carriers are made on a special suspension. The armored personnel carrier is armed with a combat module with a 2A72 automatic cannon of 30-mm caliber and a 7,62-mm PKTM machine gun. In addition, all armored personnel carriers are equipped with an additional protection kit, which includes armor plates and lattice screens.

Well, great, the main thing is to master the production of new samples for the current

[neworange88]

According to the telegram channel “Tankists of the Southern Military District”, about 200 brand new T-90M “Proryv” tanks have arrived in the zone of the special military operation. But it is possible that in the near future the supply of modern military equipment will continue. Video of the column of tanks at the link below.

. The Russian army received new tanks T-90M "Breakthrough". Combat vehicles have already been delivered to the zone of the special military operation. They will strengthen the existing units of the RF Armed Forces.

. Combat vehicles are equipped with an intelligent protection system against American Javelin anti-tank missile systems. When captured by the missile guidance system, the tank will automatically turn the turret towards the enemy.

[opuonmed]

the main thing is that the ukrrrrs do not hit the accumulation of tanks

[Pavel57]

Modernization makes sense at a price of 40 percent of the initial cost.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

For anyone, it makes sense to convert all BTR-80s into much more formidable BTR-82AMs.

[zxc15682]

Why does the bus need a big gun? Maybe make a turret with a machine gun.

[white fall]

Then, in order to flash the BMP and be able to at least a hundred against the side of the tank. 30mm gun was not just set

[smart ass]

Yes, even all kinds of armored marauders, I think they will be sewn with a bang

[Siberian 66]

Why does the bus need a big gun? Maybe make a turret with a machine gun.
Light vehicles from the other side are guaranteed to be destroyed with several hits. Blind tanks in a long line., Destroy private buildings, preventing them from gaining a foothold ... Yes, a lot of things

[zxc15682]

The armored personnel carrier should not do this. Its task is to lead the troops into the red zone and take away the wounded and dead. + other tricks.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

In Ukraine, did not try to agitate for this?

[zxc15682]

If an armored personnel carrier storms a building in the city instead of a tank. What the hell is such a gun to him.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

And then, that a projectile, even a 30-mm one, will inflict much more damage on the enemy than a manually operated machine gun like on the BTR-80.

[zxc15682]

This means the loss of the crews of the armored personnel carrier and the armored personnel carrier itself.

[Incvizitor]

He can also support the delivered lesant with fire.

[zxc15682]

The infantry fighting vehicle can support the delivered troops with fire. But not btr.

[Incvizitor]

You might think that BMP weapons are more suitable for this or armor is better then BMPTs, only they are not in the right quantity to be used everywhere.

[Slon1978]

I like people like you :) A kind of encyclopedists in glasses who tell, contrary to objective reality, what should happen and what should not. Let's look at an ordinary situation - here our armored personnel carrier is driving along the near rear (where it should), but then an enemy infantry fighting vehicle rolls out on it (which should not be there, but it already happened, contrary to the rules of your universe, that it was sitting in ambush or broke into raid). If you live in your universe, but our crew of an armored personnel carrier with a landing party would first have to all die, and then you would come in a white coat and velvet pants and, having buried the soldiers, you would courageously investigate and look for that villain who is to blame for the ambush or raid. But such is life that you would not prevent new ambushes with any investigations, just like random clashes in the confusion and chaos of war. The fact that the armored personnel carrier should not storm is a fact, but the fact that he sometimes has to do this if the rest of the equipment has been knocked out is also a fact. As well as the fact that there is never a lot of firepower.

[alexoff]

An armored personnel carrier can also bring a platoon to the house where the DRG has settled, so that they all come closer behind its armor and guns and smash everything to pieces. Or to the park, where local lovers of Molotov cocktails sat down

[PROXOR]

The coaxial machine gun 7,62 * 54 is pre-installed in it and so on. 2A72 is needed to press the enemy to the ground with fire, if it so happened that the clash happened near the armored personnel carrier.

[Voenoboz]

Probably it all depends on the situation and the availability of equipment both for you and for the enemy.

[PROXOR]

Yes, that's not the point. Our opponents say: let me have a colt and I won't need it, than I won't have it when I need it. 82s showed themselves well in Mariupol in street battles. With proper use, they perfectly pressed the enemy with fire, let our assault groups go forward.

The enemy in the building - an untargeted burst - and inside it exploded like a landmine, everything was ground into minced meat with fragments of concrete / brick. Again, make a colander out of an armored personnel carrier of the enemy or forgive me, MRAP. To suppress a large crop is generally only an armored personnel carrier or a Big Sniper. Or PTR with artillery, but everything else takes a long time. And so even helicopters were shot down, one set fire to the field with thermal traps, laying eights ...

[Petya Nemtsev]

Even from the experience of the Afghan, it was found out that fighters and commanders, with a shortage of heavy armor, use armored personnel carriers as infantry fighting vehicles. Although the KPVT is a really powerful machine gun, it can’t compete with the 2A72, and various Western-made armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles are designed to counteract 14.5mm shells, incl. and in lateral view

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

"The Russian army received new T-90M Proryv tanks. About 200 combat vehicles have already been delivered to the special military operation zone. They will reinforce the active units of the RF Armed Forces" Voenkor Poddubny .. This is in addition to the good news.

[Zaurbek]

Do they put additional reservations during modernization?

[Bingo]

I was more pleased with the photo of the T-72B3, that they threw it from the factory ... They modernized it taking into account the database, they say, well, visually something is visible ...

In the photo T-90M "Breakthrough"

[Bingo]

I came across with a signature that the T-72 is a new upgrade. So it’s possible to wind it on him, which visually distinguishes Volodya from the T-72, for example, the hole around the barrel at first was also on the T-90

Let's say you can put a net under the turret on the T-72, the curtains appeared on the sight, and they stand with a cone like on the T-90M - this can be put on the T-72, but the commander's hatch with triplexes, which is installed complete with a panorama Commander is unlikely. But all these are trifles compared to the fact that the tower is welded (T-90), and not cast (T-72), therefore the rectangular DZ stands without gaps.

Towers (left to right) T-90, T-72, T-80

[Bad_gr]

According to the new upgrades of the T-72 (frames from the factory)

[Sergey Romanchenko]

Very similar to the T90. Isn't that him?

[Graz]

why it was impossible for so many months to make a variant of a heavy armored personnel carrier out of the old 54,55,62? It is he who is needed at the forefront and let him be raw, but he is needed more than these cardboard boxes, since February, how much time have been lost, eh

Algeria put "Berezhok" on the T-62. A budget option for upgrading an old tank into a support vehicle.

[Dmitry Smetanin]

You can forget about Boomerang now. As well as about other promising platforms

[Beaver]

Instead of armored personnel carriers, it is necessary to rivet more infantry fighting vehicles. Enough armored trucks and tigers to travel around the rear

[Bodipancher]

Different factories, different lines. BMP 3 is now also riveting like hot cakes, there was a report from Kurgan.

[Anton "No Woman, no cry"]

Hurray ... Finally, and 10 years have not passed ...
Of course, I know such a saying that "in Russia they ban for a long time, and they go fast" But for some reason we really have something for a long time ..
And about Armata and SU-57, I think that my son, when he becomes an old man, and he is now 18, then perhaps these tanks and the rest on the basis of flavors will come out in large numbers ... Kapets.

[Mapping]

Can't they improve armor protection ?? Or expensive??

[Dmitry Tsarevich]

I remember picking the KPVT, a tree trunk with a diameter of 40 centimeters. And a 30 mm cannon, a good idea, if the armor was also pulled up to the desired level, then in general a very good car turns out.
