The high combat survivability of the Russian BMPT Terminator has become known
Russian combat technique continues to demonstrate miracles of survivability and reliability. This time, in the area of the special military operation of the Russian Federation, the crew of the BMPT "Terminator" distinguished itself, which, after being hit by two anti-tank guided missiles, was able to remove the vehicle from under fire.
The episode described in the publication of the Russian Ministry of Defense "A red star", took place in the vicinity of the village of Ilyinka in the DPR. The crew of the Terminator was supposed to provide fire support to a group of paratroopers who had moved out to clear out the fortifications of the Kyiv regime militants.
After the first task of landing the troops was completed, the Terminator began to roll back to the starting point. At that moment, two ATGMs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants hit the hull of the combat vehicle one after the other.
However, the reactive armor and additional protection in the form of sandbags installed on the BMPT hull allowed the crew to remove the vehicle from under fire. The soldiers were even able to extinguish the fire caused by the ATGM hit themselves.
Our base is the same, but the "uninhabited" turret, which does not even contain ammunition, gives serious advantages. Therefore, the "Terminator" can withstand many hits, but still remains in service
- said one of the BMPT crew members with the call sign Shchuba.
It should be added that during its use in the SVO zone, the BMPT Terminator has earned exclusively positive reviews from servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces and military experts.
