During the battles, tanks remain the main offensive technique, but today we are not talking about them, but about those vehicles that follow and provide cover. These are terminators.
According to the commander of the crew of the vehicle of the 3rd Army Corps of the Western Military District, the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fled from the Russian BMPT “Terminator” during one of the battles. Having understood how these combat vehicles are in action, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has awarded a reward to those who can capture the Terminator.
“On one of the last trips there was a pitched battle, the enemy’s trench was practically trampled, the enemy fled at the sight of the Terminator. For them this is an unknown and incomprehensible car,” RIA Novosti quotes the commander.

The driver of another “Terminator” said that the enemy wants the same equipment for himself, but it can only be “trophied”, since there are simply no such vehicles in other armies of the world. It is impossible to “trophy” the “Terminator”. And that’s why.
According to its purpose, this is a tank deck vehicle, but the Terminator can also conduct combat operations alone. To do this, it is equipped with everything necessary.
The Terminator was created on the chassis of the T-90 tank, and its armament provides incredible density of fire. Most of it is installed in an uninhabited tower and removed from the armor for the safety of the crew. The Terminator’s armament is as follows:
- 2 quick-fire guns 2A42 caliber 30 mm,
- 4 guided missiles,
- machine gun 7.62 mm in the combat module,
- 2 AGS-17 grenade launchers in fender recesses.
But what density of fire this weapon offers:
- 2A42 guns hit light armored vehicles at a distance of up to 1.5 km and manpower at a distance of up to 4 km, the ammunition load is 900 high-explosive fragmentation and armor-piercing shells, the rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute;
- Ataka missiles are laser-guided and can hit vehicles and fortifications with armor penetration of up to 950mm;
- the ammunition load of the 7.62 mm machine gun is 2000 rounds, and the machine gun itself has a rate of fire of 650 rounds per minute and an effective range of 1.5 km;
- AGS-17D grenade launchers are stabilized in two planes, which allows aimed fire while driving, ammunition load – 300 rounds per grenade launcher (total 600), rate of fire – 50-100 rounds per minute in single and 350 rounds per minute in bursts. Observation range – 1.5 km.
All this is controlled by a crew of 5 people: a driver, a gunner, a commander and two grenade launchers.
Thanks to weapons and modern technologies, the Terminator can clear vast areas of enemy forces, within a radius of 1.5 kilometers or more.
After a few minutes of battle, there is simply no one left to “trophy” the Terminator.
