Russian troops used modernized infantry fighting vehicles in the Svatov direction

Illustrative image

It became known that in the battles for the Donbass, the Russian military is using a new type of infantry fighting vehicles with the Berezhok combat module. In particular, these modernized BPM-2Ms are used by the military of the Western Military District in battles near the city of Svatovo in the LPR.

According to a Russian officer, the commander of one of the units, including updated infantry fighting vehicles, the upgraded vehicle has a serious filling: a 2A42 automatic cannon (30 mm), an AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher (30 mm), two Kornet anti-tank missile systems. The officer spoke about this in an interview. RIA News.

Another advantage of the combat vehicle with the Berezhok combat module is its ability to fight both day and night.

The modernized infantry fighting vehicle was created on the basis of the BMP-2, which, in turn, was put into service in 1980 and passed a combat test in Afghanistan.

BPM-2M is used in the zone of a special military operation in conjunction with tanks and Terminator tank support combat vehicles, the unit commander noted.

It should be added that the “ancestor” of the BPM-2M BMP-2 during the conflict is also used by the Ukrainian side. According to the most conservative estimates, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost up to 70 such vehicles since the beginning of the conflict.

Well, a really serious car. SVO makes it possible to completely re-equip our military equipment in a modern way. How many such news ahead.

[AdAstra]

And before that, what kind of gun did she have? """"

[Prisoner]

The same. But there was no Berezhok module.

[AdAstra]

And what then is the difference between this gun and that one?

[Vyacheslav57]

Quote from AdAstra

And before that, what kind of gun did she have? """"

According to the calculations of the Tula designers, the firepower of the BMP-2M "Berezhok" compared to the original "Dvoika" increased by 3,2 times, and losses during a typical combat mission (attack on a strong point) due to the greater firing range can be reduced by two half times.

[BARKAS]

There would also be a high-explosive fragmentation missile for ATGMs.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The delay with the Bulat missile is also incomprehensible. The fact that she was ready was announced a couple of years ago.

[svoroponov]

So such a missile can also be installed in the Kornet installation .. Moreover, there is evidence that the Kornet's effective range has increased.

[Romario_Argo]

I would still add Cactus + grilles to the BMP-2M onboard DZ
in the Military Acceptance of the DZ, Cactus was tested on an ordinary jeep with an RPG shot

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

It is very important in connection with the increased use of kamikaze drones by the enemy.

[Georgy Sviridov_2]

DZ on an infantry fighting vehicle is a rarity, because the DZ, during normal operation, will kill its own infantry, which dismounts from it, but it still won’t save from something serious, just like gratings.
It’s one thing to grate on tanks, when even a slight weakening of the cumulative jet can lead to non-penetration, but here 1 cm of steel won’t save anyway ... But spaced screens, there’s no RPG and anti-tank guns, but it will help from fragments of artillery, machine guns and automatic guns .

[Zefr]

And why is it not uncommon on a tank? Is there no infantry near the tank?
And than. If something flies into the infantry fighting vehicle, then it will mutter there and then, the infantry will not find it enough.

[savage3000]

dz kill infantry ?? keep writing dude! ))) the grass is fenced!!!!

[Sergei N 58912062]

DZ on BMP is rare ...

What are you talking about! DZ on their infantry fighting vehicles are installed by the USA, Germany, Israel, and many other countries.

And a rarity is the remote sensing on our infantry fighting vehicles. Although we have long developed a special remote sensing system for our light armored vehicles.

The "Cactus" is a good thing, only so far BMP-3s usually ride without it.

[PROXOR]

So what's stopping you. You load the Cornet ATGM with what you need and hit it.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The Kornet ATGM is more expensive than a pickup truck, which is why a cheaper missile is needed.

[Georgy Sviridov_2]

There is a thermobaric for sure. I don't know about OFS...

[NKT]

Modern technology is BMP Kurganets and T-15, but not BMP-2, even with Berezhok.

[PROXOR]

I would like the author of the article to knock on kumpol. You need to check the range of weapons.
Kornetov at Berezhka 4.

Why so ... immediately and kumpol!? Don't screw up, please! The author said 2, meaning: left and right!

[Rome]

It is not clear whether to rejoice, toli to swear! It seems good that modernized infantry fighting vehicles appeared at the front, and this is how an achievement is laid out! But they should have been modernized 10 years ago !!!

I remember that Shoigu reported a year and a half ago that the ground forces were re-equipped by 70% with modern weapons, which means these are the remaining non-rearmed units

[sopot]

You also quote "General" Konashenkov ....

[Pavel57]

Unfortunately, Algeria was fed up with "Berezhk" at first.

[DMFalke]

In fact, not “unfortunately”, but “fortunately”, although Algeria and the like are still buying our equipment and paying with the currency that (well, what will reach the military-industrial complex) is already arming our army.

[Kuroneko]

Not long to apply. Let them change to Bradley. Yes, and that won't help either. BMP-2 - she is dear and familiar to every screw. But in half a year it’s impossible to master a Western BMP normally. And technical support and repairs cannot be established in a year.
More Western technology - more admirers of Bandera will go to Bandera, to his personalized frying pan.

[sanik2020]

Armed, seeing is good, just not a word about the security of the car.
If in terms of protection, this is an old, "tin can", then a short burst of DShK from the bushes and all such modernization is worthless. And so, it is quite suitable for work from an ambush.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Now we need to talk about protective grilles from cumulative munitions and kamikaze drones, and not set unbearable tasks to immediately increase the armor.

[Kurganets-45]

on the BMP-2M there are also protective grilles from cumulative BP and additional screens from bullets of increased armor penetration

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Not a single video where BMP-2 or BMP-2M with protective bars came across.

Look, poor thing...

[svoroponov]

Reinforced armor. Holds a large-caliber shot. In my opinion, the engine power has also increased slightly.

[Sebostyuan]

As for the increase in firepower, the Berezhok, in my opinion, is the most optimal for the BMP-2. As for the BMP-1, the optimal module is the Cleaver. Both should be reinforced with armor to the detriment of buoyancy.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

It is depressing that they are again installing a 30-mm automatic grenade launcher, which does not add much power to the existing gun.
Where is the 40-mm AG, with remote detonation of ammunition, cumulative fragmentation grenades and greater reliability?

[Nag1984]

They have been used there since the summer. There were also losses.

[Kaufman]

In, did you mention the Terminator? Where is he ? How does he fight, how did he prove himself? Nothing is written

[svoroponov]

There were two at the beginning. Our infantry liked it. A very effective vehicle turned out to be just for them and not for supporting tanks. Then 6 more were added. Now a decent series is being made by order of the Ministry of Defense, taking into account work in the combat zone.

Well, practical tests / use have shown that this car from the BMPT should be retrained as a ShMPP - an assault infantry support vehicle. I have been writing about this for several years ... and "searchers" in battle formations have been looking for her all the place.

[senima56]

If I'm not mistaken, this "Berezhka" (the brainchild of the Tula KBP) is already 20 years old! For several years they have been talking about a 57-mm gun, and still they will not accept it for service!

[DMFalke]

at the same time, for 35 years there has been a BMP-3, on which there is an autocannon and 100 mm for OFS and a reserve for more modernization. (Immediately, it’s clearly easier to screw 57 in place of a twin than to try to stick the system into a 2-ku)

[Mikhail Maslov]

We need a completely new infantry fighting vehicle, even the "troika" can hardly be called modern.

[bayard]

Take a closer look at the BMP-3M "Dragoon" with side screens from "Kurganets". Holds in a circle (forehead and sides) 30 mm. shell , fragments of large shells , ATGMs at indirect course angles . In the stern there is a convenient ramp, a comfortable landing for a landing force increased by 2 people. MTO - in front, which also increases the protection of the crew in the frontal projection.
On the BMP-1 and 2, it is urgently necessary, and at all production facilities capable of this, to produce sets of additional armor protection in the variant of spaced armor. And the mandatory use of side screens.

[Mikhail Maslov]

No, I don’t agree, of course, at least Berezhok and increased protection. But the West is already putting 40-50 mm on its infantry fighting vehicles. Tank guns for Leo are designed 130mm, for Abrams already 140mm.

[bayard]

Quote: Mikhail Maslov

.Tank guns for "Leo" designed 130mm, for "Abrams" already 140mm. It's worth thinking seriously

Get your own 152 mm from the shelf (from the archive). tank smoothbore and install it on the "Armata" chassis. Maybe then the "Armata" itself will sparkle with new colors ... and a MEANING will appear in its production.

[Parvis rasulov]

Berezhok is good, but how did they implement the problems of gas contamination during firing from a cannon, taking into account the now AGS?
And how does the reloading of two Kornet launch ATGMs take place, if earlier, to reload, the gunner operator opened the hatch to reload the launch ATGM and climbed out to the waist to install the rocket on the launcher, then how now will he have to leave the car to reload two missiles?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Most likely, these problems have not been solved in any way, only to endure and adapt. The problem of gas pollution in the turret is an inherent flaw of the 2A42, it was solved only on the BMP-3 when installing the 2A72 gun. And only a very physically strong gunner could charge the ATGM, leaning out to the waist, and the BMP-2 had to lean out almost completely.

[sopot]

The unit in question in terms of armor protection definitely does not reach the Bradley. Interestingly, is there an IR sight as part of the combat module?

[Sergei N 58912062]

The combat module "Berezhok" is certainly good. But why is DZ not installed on the BMP-2M? Moreover, we have long developed a special remote sensing system for our light armored vehicles.
