The fruit of mutual love "Uralvagonzavod" and "Ural Bureau of Transport Engineering" - the first in its class tank support fighting machine. The official name is like a Soviet haircut, by golly: “Frame-99”. However, the military quickly renamed the new product to the "Terminator" - this is more solid, and more accurately conveys the purpose of the car. The power of its weapons is crushing: here you have both guns, and four launchers for anti-tank missiles, and a machine gun, and automatic grenade launchers. BMPT per minute can shoot nine hundred 30-mm projectiles, six hundred 30-mm grenades and two thousand 7,62-mm bullets, and enough ammunition to burn everything alive on an area of 3 square. km Needless to say, BMPT missiles pierce the armor of any tanks and concrete bunkers at a distance of 5 km, and can also shoot down a helicopter and even low-flying enemy aircraft. Well, the AG-17 grenade launchers with a mounted grenade trajectory ensure the destruction of targets in the trenches in the area up to 1 km.
Start developing BMPT military forced the changed conditions of warfare. Previously, we naively prepared for some kind of global confrontation of tank armadas, but now life compels us to fight with partisans or militants. You probably remember what losses we had in tanks and BMPs during the storming of Grozny in 1995 year. When any building serves as an ideal shelter for a grenade launcher, the tank does not last long. So, it is necessary to give him something to help him, which would quickly and often solve the walls of houses, turning them into mincers of enemies hiding behind them. It would be nice to cover this “something” with reliable armor. Based on such considerations, the designers created the “Frame” based on the famous T-90 tank, providing it with a multi-fuel engine for a thousand “horses”. It is impossible to get away from the “Frame” even in potholes: a car rushing at a speed of 60 km / h jumps over three-meter-long ditches and crawls easily through one-and-a-half-meter walls!
By the way, being a completely new type of weapons, the BMPT does not fall under the cuts under the CFE Treaty (the treaty on conventional armed forces in Europe). This class of equipment simply did not exist at the time of drawing up the contract, because “Frame-99” is not a tank or an armored vehicle. So, no one will forbid us to stock them more.
