Uralvagonzavod has delivered a batch of upgraded BMPT Terminator armored fighting vehicles to the Russian military, Rostec, which owns the machine-building company, announced on October 1.
The BMPT, built on the chassis of the T-72 main battle tank, was designed for supporting tanks and other personnel armored carriers in urban areas. The vehicle is heavily armored. It is armed with four 9M120 Ataka missile launchers, two 30 mm 2A42 autocannons, two AG-17D grenade launchers, and one coaxial 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun.
In the statement announcing the delivery, Rostec said that the latest batch differs from earlier production models, as all the newly-built BMPTs have “increased, additional side protection” in addition to “anti-drone grids and electronic warfare systems.”
“Uralvagonzavod designers are constantly working to improve the vehicle’s characteristics based on combat experience,” the state-owned defense conglomerate said.
Video footage released by Rostec indicates that the latest batch, delivered ahead of the Russian Ground Forces Day, included more than four BMPTs.
It is unknown how many BMPT have been produced by Uralvagonzavod for the Russian military so far, although the number is believed to be anywhere from a few dozens to a few hundreds. The vehicle has also been exported to Algeria and Kazakhstan.
The BMPT was first tested in real combat conditions in Syria in 2017. Later in 2022, the vehicle saw action in the special military operations zone in Ukraine, where it reportedly performed very well.

should you just put jolani on the bar to dance on the pole if he’s not good in high heels and nylons? or should we have putler and zelensky join him in pantyhose, a skirt, and heels?
