Chechen fighter absolutely pwned the Russian Federation ’s tank during theBattle of Grozny , place the vehicles ’ thin - panoplied roofs with RPGs from rooftop sniper nest . Russia ’s go - to anti - personnel armor at the time , theBMP-2 , could n’t kindle its turrets high enough to rejoin ardour . So , Russia begin do develop an armoured musical accompaniment vehicle designed for a dense , urban combat zone — the Terminator .
The Boyevaya Mashina Podderzhki Tankov ( BMPT translates into “ Tank documentation Fighting Vehicle”—the Terminator is its cognomen ) has been produced by the Uralvagonzavod company since 1995 . Designed to protect tanks from infantry and anti - armor force , the Terminator engages multiple targets at the same time , allowing the tanks to focus on what they do well — shooting hardened targets ( like other tank car ) .
The BMPT , found on the Russian T-72 battle cooler chassis , is powered by a 1,000HP V-92S2 Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel that allows the 52 ton , 22 - foot foresightful vehicle to reach speed up to 40 MPH . It ’s lock by a crew of five . Defensively , the BMPT sports sword - harden participating and passivereactive armor . The combat-ready armor has a small charge sandwiched between armor plates , which detonates to deflect incoming charges . Passive armour does the same thing sans the explosive , with kevlar lining the fomite interior to support againstspalling . The BMPT is also protected against NBC ( nuclear , biological , and chemical substance ) weapons , and it ’s fit out with an automatic fervency fire extinguisher system . If the situation gets really hairy , the BMPT can fire smoke grenades for camouflage . All in all , the Terminator ’s justificative capability and heritage put it on par with the Main Battle Tanks that it defends .
objectionably , well , it ’s not hollo the Terminator for nothing — dual 30 - millimeter auto - cannons with a 600RPM feed are loaded with 850 daily round each of various fragmentation and pierce ordnance ( specificallyHE - T , APDS , HE - FRAGandAP - T ) . Dual remote control - controlled 30 - mm automatic grenade launchers , four anti - tank projectile launchers and one coaxial 7.62 - mm machine gun make the BMPT utterly baneful against foot , unclouded vehicle , even friggin ’ helicopters . And since each weapon system can be fire independently by either the air force officer or the gunner , the Terminator can take on up to three foe simultaneously . It operate effectively day or night , regardless of conditions shape , thanks to computerized ignition controls ( adapted from the T-90 battle tank ) as well as PNK ranging tidy sum for both the Commander and Gunner .
Like Schwarzenegger with a mini - ordnance , if you see one of these coming — you’d better run . [ Uralvagonzavod – Wikipedia – Military Today – Warfare . Ru – Russian Military Photos ]
