"It's a tank support vehicle. Experts believe Russia brought these forward to support their tanks" WOW! I would have never guessed that! We are so lucky to have those genius experts!
Its the street fighting afterwards that this is about. Tanks do not really excel in urban areas which probably many people know. They don't shoot at upward angles well especially at close range. If anyone is above a tank on a 5th floor or something, I don't think a tank can even engage . Its better to have sustained fire power than a single HE.
@@thearchives1094 I tried to refer you to some channels with alternative information that actually break it down very clearly and prove that Ukrainian forces are being dismantled but apparently this channel deleted my comment here . might delete this one as well . that's all you need to know about all this BS
Ukrainians will set up 10 cameras to get every angle and have a press conference just like to do for every minor victory. Meanwhile the terminator will probably shred 100 Ukrainians before they manage to take it out. Who knows how good that thing actually is but it certainly can aim that gun quicker and at higher angles then a MBT. Those 30 MM cannons are absolutely disastrous if the Terminator sees you since there really is no cover besides a couple feet of dirt that will protect so anyone that thinks hiding in buildings is a good plan is going to have a bad time.
BMPT-72 Terminator 2's were designed after Russian armoured columns took massive fire from elevated and multi-directional positions in the Battle of Grozny. If they are used in accordance with their tactical doctrines, they should do a lot to render plenty of defensive positions useless. If not used properly, they'll be very very very vulnerable. Built in reactive armour, smart defenses and a heck of a lot of range makes them pretty resilient.
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 That's definitely one of the least intelligent replies that you could possibly have posted to my comment. Resilient is NOT a synonym for impervious.
Это ликвидатор пехоты, которая может угрожать танкам противотанковыми средствами. Так и называется, боевая машина поддержки танков на поле боя или БМПТ.
The autoloader on most Russian MBT Tanks prevents the tank gun from engaging high elevation targets at close range . This makes a lot of sense both doctrine and equipment wise.
Its a vehicle highly optimised for anti infantry firepower. It is desgined to surpress and kill agtm teams with overwhelming automatic cannon fire. Honestly the Ukrainians need to be a quite careful engaging these things
@@studentaviator3756 I seriously doubt this tank can detect anything within Javelins range. ATGM is usually hidden and can't be seen unless it's been fired from a very close range which is very unlikely. I'm no military expert but from the looks of it, that turret can be disabled with a simple drone or an RPG shot.

@@tomasknotek6107 Ukrainian offensive southeast of Harkiv was a gamechanger indeed. Without it, Putin would never order mobilization.

Yes, vast majority of them are of poor training and quality but they still outnumbered Russians 4:1 when every military rule says it has to be the opposite - attacker must have a numerical advantage in order to succeed. If Ukraine wants to win another victory it has to do it before December. Because in January Russia will stop fighting with both hands tied to her back and start using one.

Lots of weapons, limited ammunition capacity but more importantly this will explode just the same as a standard T72 as the ammo is in an unarmoured storage unit in the hull.
propaganda can make low IQ and ill informed western vote bank happy...but in reality incompetent league of 30 nations spending 1.3 trillion dollars a year dare not confront Russia.
Just as an armor professional, it's not an incompetent design (so long as they can maintain it) and fits a role generally filled by IFV's. But IFV's almost always do double duty as an APC, to the detriment of it's arsenal. This hunts for things that hunt tanks, whether foot mobile, motorized, or light mech. Most targets in an armored units area of engagement are not MBT's. It's fortified positions, technicals, and other IFV's trying to do the same job, which are more numerous on the field than MBT's. 25-35 mike mike's and coax MG's get far more of a workout on a wider array of targets than a tank's gun.
@@YuriiTemnikov because at least as shown in this video it does not apear to be on the vehicle lol. Anyone with half a brain can tell the difference between a tank that has active armor on it and the one that does not. And these again, as shown in the video do not apear to be equiped with one.
Considering that Russia is just about to complete securing control of the Donbas and they currently hold more territory than they originally stated in their objectives, Wiped most of Ukraines military infrastructure off the map and inflicted shocking casualties, It's a bit silly to say that they haven't accomplished much.
They have accomplished losing most of their mechanized equipment, thousands of drunk troops, all air support, and now in process of losing their artillery. Not to mention showing the whole world just what a weak and pathetic fighting force the Russian military really is. Now if you would like, you could run to the Ukrainian borders and maybe live to go home. But do not get into a vehicle, you will be targeted and eliminated.
@@ihorkarpiuk4102 "They originally settle for all of Ukraine" doesn't even make sense. What are you talking about? They stated their goals very clearly when they announced the operation. How and why would Russia want to Annex a country that puts them on Poland's border? This isn't the old Soviet Union's armed forces. Russia's armed forces aren't comprised of anything near the size required to pull of some huge operation that includes laying siege to Kiev while securing the Donbas. Why would they annex Western Ukraine, when it's pro-western and Anti-Eastern. You're assessment makes zero sense. All of the value to Russia is located in the South East. It's also convenient that the pro-Russian population mostly lives in the South East.
@@liamanderson4992 maybe if you can get all 10 in one shot, anti ship missiles are big and expensive, given the limited supply, I doubt they would target one of these, a reaper or phoenix might be more likely.
"Russia only has a handful of these" You call 300+ inventory "just a handful". Like oh ... look at me it's nothing... I can take 300+ with a tooth pick. America has the running joke called the Bradley... The Terminator can take out Bradleys like it's nothing.
And that's why unlike Russia and the war tornregions around it, we don't really do ground battles. Land war is easily dominated by counters, until the counter doesn't take and everything becomes a counter to it
300+ is nothing too. Putins promised WW3 and claimed he will come out at the very top of the pyramid with China if he actually declared it, that 300 would be a single battles fill

This is a formidable vehicle but is really only effective in a very limited circumstance where modern anti-tank missiles aren't in use. Removal of the main gun auto-loader will eliminate the lovely turret flinging explosions but an anti tank missile is still going to render it combat ineffective. Even an M72 LAW will wipe the weapons off the top of it.
@@meisterproper8304 Not necessarily. Older AT weapons (AT-4, LAW, RPG-7 etc) are not always effective against modern tank armor. Modern variants like Javelin, NLAW, sure.
A tank support vehicle isn't the same thing as infantry support. Without foot infantry (or drone equivalent) to clear spaces of a possible ambush, tanks (and anything that acts as a tank) are at risk. Without tanks to back up infantry against fortified positions and opposition armor, the infantry's job is unnecessarily dangerous. If they don't send infantry in ahead of the tanks, all we're going o find out about the "Terminator" is how far the turret pops up when the ammo rack cooks off. If you want to see a future infantry substitute for recon, look up DARPA's OffSet Swarm AI.
@@mikeluc9916 I would guess it has a modified version of the T72s storage. Most of it is going to be linked or chained cannon/ heavy machine gun. It might not cook off. However, the turret doesn't appear to weigh near as much as the stock crewed turret. The overpressure from HE would most likely pop it off. I like the basic premise, very inventive and economical. The point was that it's just as vulnerable to small crew ambush tactics as any other tank. Armor, no matter what cool name you tag it with, needs advanced recon scouting. Armor and infantry, goes together like bread and butter.
@@Cmoth040 its just a modified T-72.they supposedly only have a few of them.we’ll be seeing them getting hit and blown up as soon as they use em in battle.

@@ibrahimmoncada7214 it took Russia 80 days to take Mariupol. That is humiliating for the Russians. Kherson was lost, sure, but the goals were Donbas, Kharkiv, and Kyiv, and Russia lost the battles of Kyiv and Kharkiv.
At one time, Nazi Germany had the best weapons, but neither the tiger, nor the Fauzpatron, nor the Fa-1 could help. Finally, in Berlin in 1945, the Russians raised the banner of victory over Germany.
I heard that javelins and nlaws love them. The arms on the turret look very vulnerable for a small hit. Maybe dropping some bombs from drones will be enough to disable the weapons.
Better to capture them and use them against Russians than destroy them. Or use then as wooden horse of Troy; packed with explosives remote controlled .
You mean the ones gifted freely to the DNR, LPR, and Chechens? You do know that the Russians learn from their mistakes and is adapting new tactics, yes?
The recoil seems to set up wild harmonics, has to cause havoc with long term reliability (or even short term given the woeful Russian mfg.), accuracy has to be of the "spray and pray" variety... looks like another russian hype heavy machine like the T-14 and SU-57...
Without active protection system to defeat incoming atgm missiles , terminator will be more a target than a real threat. javelin and NTGW will neatly work on these IFV.
@@lubart7836 The propaganda a dies hard with some. The drones, stingers and the ATGMs don't live up to the hype which is why the heavy weapons are being sent. The Russian air defense and jamming equipment neutralize the drones and ATGM don't do much against artillery. The tanks also keep their distance.
It appears to be softer than normal tanks. Anything like stugna, javelin, nlaw, drone bombs will be able to take it down. Maybe it won't have a VTOL turret, but it will smolder pretty well.
Javenlin works bad on regular T-72 tank - there are reports Russian T-72 withstands 2-3 hits of Javelin. I don't see any reason why it will work better vs this machine.
"To claim some small victory for a war that isn't going well" You mean a war that is now decapitating Ukraine from the black sea and is now being threatened to utterly lose their eastern territories? Wow. Right. Russia is definitely losing.

Not an exact equivalent, but in April, Germany authorized Krauss-Maffei to transfer 50 Flakpanzer Gepard anti-aircraft vehicles to Ukraine. Which would be just as devastating in an urban environment... And there are other former operators of the Flakpanzer that could provide mothballed stocks too. I wonder who will run out of kit first?
Firs its wouod be idiot to use them in such way as they are anti air, second the ukrainains will need months of training ammo, spare parts and mechanics for thsoe vechicles not to mention place to repair them.
I'm German and I know the Gepard a little bit. Basically, the idea to use the Gepard in urbarn warfare is absolutely nice. High rate of fire, stunning caliber, good protection, due to the Leopard chassis. But there is a huge problem. The amount of ammo which will be delivered. It's only about 60.000 rounds, something about that. For AA it's ok, because you fire in precise bursts. But for ground fighting, even in urban environment, the 60k is not enough! It's for 15 Gepard, so you only have 4.000 rounds for each tank. And, that's the next problem, the 35mm caliber ammo is very rare. 😕
Urban warfare is not what the Gepard was built for. Its ground combat capabilities are more of a makeshift self-defense option that would quickly deplete its resources. What it was build for is turning every aircraft attack against a battle tank group into certain Kamikaze. Even if it is running out of ammo quickly, it's still an effective deterrent by asking any approaching fighter bomber pilots: "Who wants to be the first to die for glorious Fatherland?" High velocity 35 mm bullets don't give a damn about your radar and IR countermeasures and good luck escaping its tracking computer once it has locked onto you.
@@pfefferle74 It doesn't matter, how something is built for. What matters is, is it cappable? The famous 8.8cm flak was not build to be a anti-tank weapon, but it excels in that role.

this isn't a tool of war, this is a parade decoration. They only made 10 of these, just enough for a parade. it is the same as their T-90 tanks... enough for a parade.
The crew may have an enhanced survivability as there appears to be an 'airgap' between the active turret and the hull (the most vulnerable part of a T72). The weapon may be destroyed, but the crew may survive. Thoughts?
Seems like it, it also uses much smaller less violently combusting ammunition so a cookoff should be much less violent. in addition the turret is unmanned and part of the 30mm ammunition seems to be stored in it making it safer for the crew. Lastly the ATGM system is mounted on the outside so no risk of cookoff there either, should be much more survivable for the crew.
its literally a heavy IFV, but without dismounts... so go figure. pretty sure that some of the modern IFV's that are out there with ABM(airburst ammo) are much better doing the job what the Terminator supposed to do. btw. the Terminator has no ABM. but the Terminator fits the russian style of war, sending vehicles and tanks into urban and forest areas to fight by it own, i gues :)
Because western doctrine uses mechanized infantry to protect its armor where as the Russians just die and send more because their doctrine is reatrded and hasn't really evolved since WW2

I mean, yeah, it seems like a nice piece of hardware. But at best it is as durable as a T-72, and those get blown up all the time. Dont see why Javelin, NLAW and Panzerfaust should have any bigger problems with it.
It attacks but can't defend and if it has no fuel or caterpillars or driver it's going nowhere! Besides there's only so much ammo it can carry so if these things are targeted how do you supply them ?
the "BMPT Terminator-1" column that was filmed in Ukraine is actually in the T-90A chassis, I don't know why these "experts" in the video said that it is in the T-72 chassis, and has only 3 crew members when it has a crew of 5 which consists of: a vehicle commander, a driver, a gunner, and two grenade launcher operators. I think these "experts" confused "Terminator-1" with "BMPT-72 Terminator 2" which is on the T-72 chassis and has only 3 crew. "BMPT-72 Terminator 2" is just a concept of modernazation T-72 and Russian army at the moment only have "Terminator-1" in T-90A chassis

it's a tank with more missiles strapped onto the turret , making it more explosive when the Drones go after it. you'll be able to see the explosion back in the Kremlin.
I don’t get it, why use an IFV designed for urban warfare as an anti infantry assault vehicle on the open fields of Ukraine. Worse, there’s a limited number of them and the other side has a lot of dedicated anti armor/anti-IFV units plus drones . I hate to tell everyone this, but without heavy infantry support, this type of IFV will not survive open field warfare and I doubt that it will even survive the brutal urban warfare in which it was designed for.
When fielding the shilka in Chechnya Russia quickly noticed the SPAAG "Shilka" lacking in it's actual AA capabilities but instead offered excellent infantry suppression with it's 4 23mm 2a14 cannons. What the "terminator" tanks attempt to do is offer that same overwhelming firepower but more diversely using only 2 autocannons instead of 4 but replacing the other 2 with missiles and grenades letting it engage a larger variety of targets. Ofcourse like every single vehicle fielded by all militaries on the planet it is still vulnerable to ATGM fire but offers much more protection and crew survivability than it's predecessor the Shilka. Russia's weakness isn't their tech lacking capability, it is their soldiers lacking capabilities, put this vehicle in the hands of any well trained military and it will be a nightmare for enemy infantry.
It is said that russia has around 9 of these. I doubt that they'll send all 9 to the frontlines but even if they do, what exactly would change? Sure, you got a new tank on the frontline supporting your other troops, but it can only be in one place at a time (or 9 if we count them all)... in a huge frontline. I doubt that we'll see it in actual action anytime soon.

@@tonmoyalam83 LOL - the Russians are having a hard time rebuilding ANY new weapon systems right now, as so many parts (especially electronics) are on the boycott list from other countries
Actually, pretty silly design. There is no reason to have two 30mm weapon nor two anti-tank missile launchers on a non-AA vehicle. There is nothing you can't kill with one 30mm which could can't kill with two. If you need a higher rate of fire, add a slightly heavier barrel and fire faster. However, neither personnel, or light vehicles which can be damaged by 30mm rounds is going to be much more susceptible to two cannons and not to one. It is just twice the weight, ammunition handing issues, stabilization issues, etc. Same with missiles. A pair of missiles is suitable to take out a tank before you withdraw to reload. If you are facing two or three tanks, by the time you put the second or third missile on the targets, one of them will have hit you, so three or four isn't needed.
Ukraine had same type of vehicle in 2014, they were experimental just to test the concept. After 2,5 months of service they were unadopted because they don't have any advantages over bmp-2

So they've used cannon to hit targets where 120mm would be more than needed, and they can therefore carry more rounds. Can't see it'll help much. David had a sling. Dimitry had a Javelin.
Hard to believe that two handful of these vehicles will make a real difference. They will probably be taken out by Ukrainian forces one after the other. My cause some local harm at first, but in the end will be great trophies for the Ukrainians.

There is no such wonderful weapon that could operate on the battlefield separately and alone, especially among self-propelled armored vehicles ever created. A negative example is, despite the initial great success, of the super-warship Bismarck. Only joint actions with other branches of the Armed Forces give a chance to succeed in combat. As a last positive example, the SS troops, despite their ideological disrepute (mostly from the side of the victims), these German combat units showed a good example of almost simultaneous coordinated actions with reconnaissance and diving aircraft, infantry, artillery and armored vehicles (remembering the Tiger), thus achieving good results. And finally, the most important thing is that a person and people in a team, having the necessary morality and properly motivated, can successfully do what they have to do. These so-called new versions of the weaponry are just propaganda and another way for some commercial and political interests to line their pockets with more money.
Well said, It seemed Hitler was often hoping for the big weapon that would change the tide. Half of these weapons are just being showed off to the world to gain attention and make sales.

small-caliber artillery is a smart thing, cheap and angry, tank armor and the rate of fire of Tunguska is a good combination against helicopters and infantry in the bushes.
The T72 hull that this thing is built on hasn't really been a great success so far. I believe they only have about 10 of these things, every forward artillery observer, NLAW/Javelin, drone, and Stugna-P operator will be competing to be the first to destroy one of these things given the hype they've been given. The grenade launcher version has a crew of 5 jammed inside, that's 5 casualties instead of the usual 3. That turret looks very vulnerable to heavy machine gun rounds, RPG's and shell fire, don't think they are going to last very long.
The T72 is battle tested for decades now. Nothing wrong with excety the slow reverse speed and these weapons are supposed to support tanks against infantry, not replace them

It has the advantage of not having infantry to dismount, so enemy infantry can easily attack you with ease because you lost the combine force capability-oh wait lol.
Better armor than an IFV on the hull, protecting the crew and engine. Slightly more firepower. The Commander probably has potentially less situational awareness because he can't sit see 360 degrees when he's out of his hatch. But they probably have some basic video thing to see behind them when they sitting inside with their hatches down. The elevation on the guns may be higher too - useful for shooting up at targets on roofs. But the weapons themselves might be easy to take out with light antiarmor weapons. The vehicles don't have any better armor than a tank on the sides and rear, but their weapons mean they can theroretically observe and shoot back at enemies from those directions more effectively than a tank could.
It has the advantage of being more armored... yep that's it. They are trying to fix the wound of not having infantry support by sending what is basically an infantry support vehicle with no infantry... And the fun part is that I could somewhat understand this if they sent like 200 or so, or at least one for every tank batalion... but they have 9 of them...
"It's a tank support vehicle. Experts believe Russia brought these forward to support their tanks" WOW! I would have never guessed that! We are so lucky to have those genius experts!

Long range artillery and drones still seem like the most valuable weapons for the current war phase.
Its the street fighting afterwards that this is about. Tanks do not really excel in urban areas which probably many people know. They don't shoot at upward angles well especially at close range. If anyone is above a tank on a 5th floor or something, I don't think a tank can even engage . Its better to have sustained fire power than a single HE.
artillery strikes from long distances are not effective
and infantry anti-tank weapons.

Ukrainians will set up 10 cameras to get every angle and have a press conference just like to do for every minor victory. Meanwhile the terminator will probably shred 100 Ukrainians before they manage to take it out. Who knows how good that thing actually is but it certainly can aim that gun quicker and at higher angles then a MBT. Those 30 MM cannons are absolutely disastrous if the Terminator sees you since there really is no cover besides a couple feet of dirt that will protect so anyone that thinks hiding in buildings is a good plan is going to have a bad time.

@@stephenbrand5661 Nop. It is based on T72. Armata T-15 is heavy IFV
Just as an armor professional, it's not an incompetent design (so long as they can maintain it) and fits a role generally filled by IFV's. But IFV's almost always do double duty as an APC, to the detriment of it's arsenal. This hunts for things that hunt tanks, whether foot mobile, motorized, or light mech.
Most targets in an armored units area of engagement are not MBT's. It's fortified positions, technicals, and other IFV's trying to do the same job, which are more numerous on the field than MBT's. 25-35 mike mike's and coax MG's get far more of a workout on a wider array of targets than a tank's gun.

This isn't the old Soviet Union's armed forces.

People talk as if every single Ukrainian squad was able to get their hands on ATGMs and know how to use them.
A tank support vehicle isn't the same thing as infantry support. Without foot infantry (or drone equivalent) to clear spaces of a possible ambush, tanks (and anything that acts as a tank) are at risk. Without tanks to back up infantry against fortified positions and opposition armor, the infantry's job is unnecessarily dangerous. If they don't send infantry in ahead of the tanks, all we're going o find out about the "Terminator" is how far the turret pops up when the ammo rack cooks off. If you want to see a future infantry substitute for recon, look up DARPA's OffSet Swarm AI.

@@josephstalin9357 does it have separate armored compartments for the ammo is the question I wanna know the answer to.

However, the turret doesn't appear to weigh near as much as the stock crewed turret. The overpressure from HE would most likely pop it off. I like the basic premise, very inventive and economical. The point was that it's just as vulnerable to small crew ambush tactics as any other tank. Armor, no matter what cool name you tag it with, needs advanced recon scouting. Armor and infantry, goes together like bread and butter.

Those won't be available until july unfortunately.
I'm German and I know the Gepard a little bit.
Basically, the idea to use the Gepard in urbarn warfare is absolutely nice. High rate of fire, stunning caliber, good protection, due to the Leopard chassis. But there is a huge problem. The amount of ammo which will be delivered. It's only about 60.000 rounds, something about that. For AA it's ok, because you fire in precise bursts. But for ground fighting, even in urban environment, the 60k is not enough! It's for 15 Gepard, so you only have 4.000 rounds for each tank.
And, that's the next problem, the 35mm caliber ammo is very rare. 😕
Urban warfare is not what the Gepard was built for. Its ground combat capabilities are more of a makeshift self-defense option that would quickly deplete its resources.
What it was build for is turning every aircraft attack against a battle tank group into certain Kamikaze. Even if it is running out of ammo quickly, it's still an effective deterrent by asking any approaching fighter bomber pilots: "Who wants to be the first to die for glorious Fatherland?"

All I can hear in my head from some Ukranian fighter is, "Hasta La Vista baby!"
More food for the Stugna, Javelin, NLAW, Artillery, Switchblade drones, Phoenix drones, Bayraktar etc etc.
The crew may have an enhanced survivability as there appears to be an 'airgap' between the active turret and the hull (the most vulnerable part of a T72). The weapon may be destroyed, but the crew may survive. Thoughts?
Seems like it, it also uses much smaller less violently combusting ammunition so a cookoff should be much less violent. in addition the turret is unmanned and part of the 30mm ammunition seems to be stored in it making it safer for the crew.
Lastly the ATGM system is mounted on the outside so no risk of cookoff there either, should be much more survivable for the crew.
How many minutes of training will the Terminator crew have? And was the Schwartnegger movie dubbed properly? 😊
I think javelin and n-law will mean they expire
If it's based on the T-72 that means munitions are still stored under the loader guy. It's just lipstick on a pig.
you make a good point i never thought of that.
its literally a heavy IFV, but without dismounts... so go figure.
pretty sure that some of the modern IFV's that are out there with ABM(airburst ammo) are much better doing the job what the Terminator supposed to do.
btw. the Terminator has no ABM.
but the Terminator fits the russian style of war, sending vehicles and tanks into urban and forest areas to fight by it own, i gues :)
What does "without dismounts" mean? Does that mean it isn't a personnel carrier (personnel dismounts)?

On a T72 chassis makes it just as vunerable as the other kit - A Stugna- P would have no difficulty before its guns were in range
the "BMPT Terminator-1" column that was filmed in Ukraine is actually in the T-90A chassis, I don't know why these "experts" in the video said that it is in the T-72 chassis, and has only 3 crew members when it has a crew of 5 which consists of: a vehicle commander, a driver, a gunner, and two grenade launcher operators. I think these "experts" confused "Terminator-1" with "BMPT-72 Terminator 2" which is on the T-72 chassis and has only 3 crew. "BMPT-72 Terminator 2" is just a concept of modernazation T-72 and Russian army at the moment only have "Terminator-1" in T-90A chassis

I have no clue what the narrator is talking about when he says that the war has not gone well for the Russians……
I don’t get it, why use an IFV designed for urban warfare as an anti infantry assault vehicle on the open fields of Ukraine. Worse, there’s a limited number of them and the other side has a lot of dedicated anti armor/anti-IFV units plus drones . I hate to tell everyone this, but without heavy infantry support, this type of IFV will not survive open field warfare and I doubt that it will even survive the brutal urban warfare in which it was designed for.
They already scrape the barrel with anything they can use in Ukraine.
It was designed for Hollywood
When fielding the shilka in Chechnya Russia quickly noticed the SPAAG "Shilka" lacking in it's actual AA capabilities but instead offered excellent infantry suppression with it's 4 23mm 2a14 cannons.
What the "terminator" tanks attempt to do is offer that same overwhelming firepower but more diversely using only 2 autocannons instead of 4 but replacing the other 2 with missiles and grenades letting it engage a larger variety of targets.
Ofcourse like every single vehicle fielded by all militaries on the planet it is still vulnerable to ATGM fire but offers much more protection and crew survivability than it's predecessor the Shilka.
Russia's weakness isn't their tech lacking capability, it is their soldiers lacking capabilities, put this vehicle in the hands of any well trained military and it will be a nightmare for enemy infantry.
Shows how desperate they're getting, running out of everything else, soon the troops will be attacking with Zil limos.
It is said that russia has around 9 of these. I doubt that they'll send all 9 to the frontlines but even if they do, what exactly would change? Sure, you got a new tank on the frontline supporting your other troops, but it can only be in one place at a time (or 9 if we count them all)... in a huge frontline.
I doubt that we'll see it in actual action anytime soon.
They will probably have as much luck with this as they did with the T72 ie be terminated.
One javelin should do the trick
On December 1, 2021, the first in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation BMPT company of nine combat vehicles was introduced into one of the tank regiments of the tank division of the Central Military District.
Guess that means something to you, just more targets to destroy for the Ukrainian military.
Any of the anti-tank missiles used by the Ukrainian forces would make scrap metal out of these terminators in about 5 seconds.
And they will be replaced by new ones.
Ukraine is losing hard my friend.

@@tonmoyalam83 LOL - the Russians are having a hard time rebuilding ANY new weapon systems right now, as so many parts (especially electronics) are on the boycott list from other countries
Actually, pretty silly design. There is no reason to have two 30mm weapon nor two anti-tank missile launchers on a non-AA vehicle. There is nothing you can't kill with one 30mm which could can't kill with two. If you need a higher rate of fire, add a slightly heavier barrel and fire faster. However, neither personnel, or light vehicles which can be damaged by 30mm rounds is going to be much more susceptible to two cannons and not to one. It is just twice the weight, ammunition handing issues, stabilization issues, etc. Same with missiles. A pair of missiles is suitable to take out a tank before you withdraw to reload. If you are facing two or three tanks, by the time you put the second or third missile on the targets, one of them will have hit you, so three or four isn't needed.
Ukraine had same type of vehicle in 2014, they were experimental just to test the concept. After 2,5 months of service they were unadopted because they don't have any advantages over bmp-2
These are 1970's T-72 tanks with 1980's Ataka missiles and 1980's 40 mm autocannons. Three old pieces cobbled together with a medium machine gun.

Nothing of this will flip the table for the russians, as long as they don't equip their vehicles with active protections systems. These terminators will just get obliterated by javelins like everything else.
As long as you call the surrender and capture an evacuation, you call the loss of territory a victory and the loss of manpower and equipment you do not call in any way, because you are still on the number of only 3,000 killed Ukrainian soldiers, Ukraine will have a bright future ...

One of the successors of the german Schützenpanzerwagen “Drilling”.

GEPARD,
Cose it kinda is based on this idea. During the war in Chechnya Russian find out that self-propelled AA vechicles (or "flak tanks") was very usefull on urban environment - ZSU-23-4 Shilka, armed with quad 23mm autocanon with high elevation can reach oponents on higher flors and torn them to peaces/suppres them quite effectivly. Terminator is a based on this discovery - 2 30mm autocanons with high elevation + tank armor + bunch of termal sensor to detect infantry instead of AA radar.
I pray this nightmare ends soon as possible
God bless Ukraine soldier and citizens peace and too much respect and love for them.🙏.
The Empire strikes back
the turret is easily defeated by .50 cal and higher. Shred the feeding system and blind the targeting and it's just a tank hull.
Mk19 would do the trick too.

When all the funding for tank turrets have been skimmed off the top you gotta improvise. Good job Ivan.
There is no such wonderful weapon that could operate on the battlefield separately and alone, especially among self-propelled armored vehicles ever created. A negative example is, despite the initial great success, of the super-warship Bismarck.
Only joint actions with other branches of the Armed Forces give a chance to succeed in combat. As a last positive example, the SS troops, despite their ideological disrepute (mostly from the side of the victims), these German combat units showed a good example of almost simultaneous coordinated actions with reconnaissance and diving aircraft, infantry, artillery and armored vehicles (remembering the Tiger), thus achieving good results.
And finally, the most important thing is that a person and people in a team, having the necessary morality and properly motivated, can successfully do what they have to do. These so-called new versions of the weaponry are just propaganda and another way for some commercial and political interests to line their pockets with more money.
Well said, It seemed Hitler was often hoping for the big weapon that would change the tide. Half of these weapons are just being showed off to the world to gain attention and make sales.

small-caliber artillery is a smart thing, cheap and angry, tank armor and the rate of fire of Tunguska is a good combination against helicopters and infantry in the bushes.
From what i can see it doesn't have any optics that look up. How can it protect against people in buildings if it can't look up?
Simple they open the sun roof
Once the turret is detached it affords a great view of the sky :)
The T72 hull that this thing is built on hasn't really been a great success so far. I believe they only have about 10 of these things, every forward artillery observer, NLAW/Javelin, drone, and Stugna-P operator will be competing to be the first to destroy one of these things given the hype they've been given. The grenade launcher version has a crew of 5 jammed inside, that's 5 casualties instead of the usual 3. That turret looks very vulnerable to heavy machine gun rounds, RPG's and shell fire, don't think they are going to last very long.
The T72 is battle tested for decades now. Nothing wrong with excety the slow reverse speed and these weapons are supposed to support tanks against infantry, not replace them
If they had 5 or 10x's as many I would be concerned. If there are tank hunters around, this won't last much longer than a tank.

That VERY high turret looks like a juicy target for an RPG-7
Isn't this the relapse in armoured fighting vehicles that tanks formed from? Like, what advantages does this have over IFVs like the Bradley or BMP 2?
It has the advantage of not having infantry to dismount, so enemy infantry can easily attack you with ease because you lost the combine force capability-oh wait lol.
Better armor than an IFV on the hull, protecting the crew and engine. Slightly more firepower. The Commander probably has potentially less situational awareness because he can't sit see 360 degrees when he's out of his hatch. But they probably have some basic video thing to see behind them when they sitting inside with their hatches down. The elevation on the guns may be higher too - useful for shooting up at targets on roofs.
But the weapons themselves might be easy to take out with light antiarmor weapons.
The vehicles don't have any better armor than a tank on the sides and rear, but their weapons mean they can theroretically observe and shoot back at enemies from those directions more effectively than a tank could.
It offers all the protection of a T 72! So basically don't kick it or it will pop its top.
It has the advantage of being more armored... yep that's it.
They are trying to fix the wound of not having infantry support by sending what is basically an infantry support vehicle with no infantry...
And the fun part is that I could somewhat understand this if they sent like 200 or so, or at least one for every tank batalion... but they have 9 of them...
