The Ministry of Defense showed the work of the Russian tank and BMPT "Terminator" to destroy the group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Russian army is actively using combat support vehicles in combat operations within the framework of the NMD tanks "Terminator", but they rarely get on footage, especially in combat conditions. The Ministry of Defense decided to correct this omission and posted a video with a BMPT in battle on its TG channel.

The Russian military showed the work of the Russian tank and BMPT "Terminator" to destroy the group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in one of the directions of the NMD. Where the video was filmed and when is not reported, but judging by the forests, it happens closer to the Kharkiv region, and since tank support combat vehicles are in service with the Central Military District units, this is one of the areas where the “O” - “Brave” group operates. Moreover, a couple of weeks ago there was information about the participation of "Terminators" in the battles near Svatovo.

Now to directly to the battle, which was filmed from a drone. According to the description of the video, intelligence of the Russian Armed Forces uncovered the advance of a group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the support of an infantry fighting vehicle and a tank in a forest. A Russian tank moved forward to intercept the group along with a BMPT. Upon arrival, the crew of the Terminator started a fight with the Ukrainian group, and the tank went around it and opened fire from the flank. As a result of well-coordinated work, the BMP and the tank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed, the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine partly moved into the category of "XNUMXth", and partly escaped.

The video footage clearly shows how the BMPT works with two 30-mm cannons, literally mowing everything in front of it. Trees fall under shells of this caliber, and God only knows what the Ukrainian infantry felt there.

BMPTs appeared in the NVO zone last spring, but the Ministry of Defense officially announced this in July. The Terminator is armed with two 2A42 automatic cannons of 30 mm caliber, a 7,62 mm PKT machine gun, four launch canisters for guided missiles of the 9M120 family (Ataka complex), and two grenade launchers.

why are you slowing down like that? it has already passed through all channels, you are extreme.

Is there any effect from these attacks? Our infantry is not visible at all. The Wagnerites would already be moving forward to storm their battle line, under their cover of fire.

[maratkoRuEkb]

Of course there is, the tank and a bunch of Nazis went to hell.

[Silver99]

The Russian army tests developments no worse than NATO, changes are made in the course of testing. Something, but they know how to make weapons in Russia.

[hrych]

Tracked armored vehicles are the most resistant combat unit to all damaging factors of a nuclear explosion. Terminator is no exception.

[seamen2]

know how. they just don’t know how to make it so that it doesn’t shoot at its own. and tanks are coming from Morocco and everywhere.

With Morocco, everything is just like 5 kopecks, Moroccan tanks were in the Czech Republic for modernization, but the Czech Republic, under pressure from the penguins, refused to return them and transfers them to Ukraine.
Belarus sold the tanks to Morocco, so Russia did not serve them.

[seamen2]

well, here is our t 90m, which the Ukrainians captured in the fall. think it won't shoot? there is no ingenious bookmark from our ingenious designers. that's all.

[K-50]

Beautifully "Terminator" saws!

[28st region]

Shilka rumbles even more beautifully. When from all 4 trunks, I had to see at the training grounds both for air targets and on the ground. So even on the UAV could. By the way, Ukrainians use Shilka.

It is not clear where they are shooting, but if the commander is not hiding, then apparently there is no immediate threat to them.

[miry_mir]

impressive! just tin, that's where they were during the storming of Mariupol?, they would have saved so many lives.

[dmi.pris1]

For Mariupol, the ancient ZSU 23-4 would be very handy. Yes, and not only there .. The question is saturation with ATGMs in the ranks of the defenders

[28st region]

Tanks couldn't do it, but Terminators can? Here is the work of the BMP, everything is the same. The column was fired upon, turned around and began to shoot in the same way. It looks the same

[Grits]

And they rarely show it, because the Terminator itself - an extremely rare animal - fits into the Red Book.
They don't want to mass-produce it. And the generals do not want to rework and rewrite the charters and instructions for its application. It's so boring and uninteresting. Despite the fact that the reviews about the work of the Terminators are the most laudatory.

[YOUR]

I have not read any reviews about him from the NWO. If there are, please provide a link.

[dmi.pris1]

A few years ago there was an article where the opinion was expressed that the military would not find any use for it .. Here we found it ..

Have you seen how this BM is used? Is it like BMPT? It is quite obvious that it is used as a tank with heavy armor and light weapons. That is, it does NOT fulfill its function in the troops. And does something else. Probably very important, but the question arises, is it good for this?
For example, does she need an ATGM on an external sling? I will repeat what I have said many times, after firing a KK machine gun at ATGM containers, launching them is not only risky, it is dangerous for the crew and the fighters surrounding the vehicle. And if the vehicle is assigned the role of an assault tank, then bullets will inevitably fly into it at close range.
So maybe simplify the car? Remove the excess, add the right? And in general, is the current layout of the machine suitable for new tasks?

Now, if a shell from an RPG flies under the guns, will the machine retain its combat capability? And she will fly, use her as an assault tank

[YOUR]

When shelled, of course, she has a better chance of survival. The tower is uninhabited. The crew is hidden behind heavy armor, covered by active armor. Those. there are much more chances than an infantry fighting vehicle with the same weapons. But the BMP has other functions, in fact it is a bus for the infantry that was brought to the place of the military base and supported from a distance with fire, they don’t climb forward. ATGM is openly standing, this is a big minus. A shell ten meters away will explode with fragments, one hundred percent will cut.
For a fire support vehicle, for some kind of assault vehicle, the calibers are too small. Of course, in battle, any firepower is not enough. But something is wrong with this car. Putting at least 57 mm guns will reduce the ammunition, but on the other hand, why is it needed 30 mm if it doesn’t penetrate anything.

[Argon]

I agree, ATGMs should be retractable and not 4 pcs. The shells would come up with penetrating ones and it would be normal.

[Konnick]

Putting at least 57 mm guns will reduce the ammunition, but on the other hand, why is it needed 30 mm if it doesn’t penetrate anything.

It is not necessary to break through modern tanks. The presence of the so-called birdhouses on the tower, and according to science, the head parts of optoelectronic devices covered with anti-bullet armor and curtains, allow even a 30mm caliber to deprive a tank of combat capability, or rather blind it. Even piercing the barrel of a tank gun is a feasible task. And at the same time, the BMPT itself, with its huge optics, is also vulnerable to small arms. This is not an assault combat vehicle.

[Alexander Seklitsky]

I'm embarrassed to ask, but where did you watch the video at all? Or is the Chukchi not a reader, but a Chukchi a writer? The main thing is to give out your "expert opinion" from the couch. The BMPT starts a fight while the tank comes to the flank, what is it if not tank support?

[28st region]

Sofa expert opinion? Do you think that those who do not adopt this machine are stupid people?
What I saw. Two BMs approach the positions left by the Ukrainians. Are separated. The BMPT starts firing its cannons into the white light. Trees are falling, explosions are almost under our noses, fire is transferred further into the depths of the forest. It is very clearly seen from 1.20 - 1.30 that the fire is carried out at random, into that steppe. I hope you were in the forest, imagine what kind of visibility there is. 30 meters and nothing is visible. Who was shot at? It is not clear. Some moments are not clear, on 2.04-2.05 the tank smokes up against a birch. 2.09 -2.11 a tanker jumps out of the tank and runs away, but judging by the place, this is a completely different tank. Further 2.50 shooting of the broken tank. But this is a completely different tank, the third one. It costs not like the first and not like the second.
What assembly was shown to us.
Do not try to immediately criticize me, tell me what a stupid couch expert I am. Watch the video pausing periodically. Consider what is wrong.

[dementor873]

For me, it’s more suitable for a patrol of our territory or reconnaissance in force, to create a density of fire, and a drg or even a platoon, having collected the belongings, dump it where it came from and tell you not to go there, there will be snow there - bo-bo.

[werwolf1981]

You're talking garbage, go to your own zone, see how it works, then write here smart guy

You were there? Well, tell us the sofa experts.

You contradict yourself, the first Terminators, those and ATGMs were not protected, but you provide a photo of the modernized Terminator where the ATGMs are already in armored casings.

[YOUR]

Firstly, these casings are open on both sides, just a good shooter will put a 5.45 bullet and the end of the ATGM.
Secondly. the photo clearly shows that the armor is so-so if the infantry fighting vehicle, armored personnel carrier is flashing shrapnel in both directions, then this is even more so. The only thing that can save the small size.

You can learn more about the fragments that flash BMPs and armored personnel carriers.
Try to get into the conditions of the battle, if you think that the 5,45 bullet is easier to hit (the fact that the caliber is smaller), I will disappoint you. The terminator does not have to get close to the enemy, 100-150 meters is enough.

Just does it. This can be seen both in this and in previously published videos - the machine works out from the autocannons while the MBT is moving forward. In fact, ordinary infantry fighting vehicles do the same thing, but with their size and lack of remote sensing, they are forced to keep their distance.

Remove excess, add what you need

Actually, when using the "Terminator" as an assault vehicle, the removal (!) of ATGMs from launchers is imputed. Only cannon BMPT goes into battle. And since the optics of the BMPT are better than those of the tank, it can launch ATGMs from ambushes and from a long distance. At the same time, the security of the BMPT is higher than that of the T-72 and T-90 tanks.
In the picture you have a BMPT-72 (aka "Terminator-2") - just a simplified version of the BMPT without grenade launchers on the fenders. The chief designer of this machine assumed the construction of a whole line of similar machines with a different composition of weapons and for a different range of tasks.
The combat module for the BMPT-72 can be mounted on the shoulder strap of any tank, even the T-55, and this was offered to Soviet tank operators. But since the "Terminator" did not enter service with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they treated it in the world ... with distrust. They bought only Algeria (a large batch) and a couple of dozens of Kazakhstan. It seems that a few more pieces went to Iraq.
And this failure is solely due to ... the unreasonableness and wild dope of the leadership of the RF Ministry of Defense. Not only did they not provide proper advertising (adoption), they left the Army without the much-needed assault infantry support vehicle (SHMPP), because it is this place that it now occupies in battle formations. And we need such machines in their "simplified" form - with the Terminator-2 combat module on the T-72 chassis (as in the picture). For it is this version that makes it possible to quickly saturate the troops with such machines for reasonable money and within an acceptable time frame, and the armament composition is optimal for the entire range of tasks.

It’s easy to equip the ATGM launchers with a remote reset mechanism from the launcher in such cases (if the ATGMs / Rs on the launcher are damaged). The infantry at the moment of release will jump off to the side and lie down, and the crew will not even leave the car.

[Novik225]

they work beautifully together - a tank and a terminator. As intended. I wonder what MO thinks about this? Will they order more?

[Nastia makarova]

the terminator worked against the tank and infantry fighting vehicles and not with the tank

Already booked last year. Now "Terminator" in the series. But there are few in the troops.

[Jin]

It was powerful... Thanks for the video.

[2112vda]

So they found a replacement for chainsaws, otherwise they turned off their own production. Tin, however.

[wladimirjankov]

[quote literally mowing everything in front of him] [/ quote]
Yes, it hits without sparing the shells. Effectively. In different directions. But it is not clear where. For some reason, the UAV hangs to the side without visualizing the target. What is the use of such shooting? Throw in more trees? The tank is also not visible at what and at whom it shoots. It feels like it's all staged. Show terminator work. Wanted to see. Look. This, of course, also needs to be done, but not as clumsily.

[Sith]

Looking at different videos from UAVs, the feeling is that there are always 2-3 UAVs ... because from some angles it is not clear what they see at all ... and at the same time, UAVs do not move from their place and do not turn the camera
Along the way, some cover and inspect the area, some correct actions
Which are being corrected, they may not be supposed to show ... what they do and what they see

[mlad]

The idea in the terminator is good, it mows down infantry with anti-tank weapons and gives the tank work

[Blackgrifon]

The saddest thing is that already in the West this idea began to be embodied in metal (the IDF project "Carmel" (if I'm not mistaken with the name). Only it has even more emphasis on awareness and automation.

[pva1964]

the armor is strong and our tanks are fast like this they bury Ukrainian fascists sweet couple from uralvagonzavod worked 5+

[Konnick]

I can imagine how impressive this video from the MO would look, shot with a thermal imager, but alas ...
We are way behind...
But in principle, this is a target for attack helicopters. In the forest, infantry cannot use MANPADS, as well as ATGMs.

[Pavel57]

Terminators could be a good answer to Bradley and Marder.

[Anton Polyakov]

A good technique is gps radio data transmission (within sight) from soldiers.
