Russian armored vehicles of various classes are traditionally very popular in Algeria. For example, the ground forces have one of the world's largest fleets of t-90S main battle tanks.

They have proven themselves during operation in extreme heat and heavy dust.
Last Sunday, the Network published photos of BMPT, which are allegedly made on the territory of this state.
The first information about the delivery of such a combat vehicle to North Africa appeared at the end of June this year. However, due to the fact that the object was covered with a tarp, it was impossible to determine exactly which of the two versions this "Terminator"belongs to. Judging by the new images, we have a variant based on the T-90S.
According to military experts, BMPs are ideal for use in desert areas. Rapid-fire 30-mm 2A42 guns, as well as two AG-17D automatic grenade launchers can effectively destroy not only vehicles with various weapons, but also armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, armed with RPGs and light ATGMs enemy manpower.
If necessary, the guns can also be used to destroy certain types of air targets. To fight tanks, there is a stock of long-range missiles of the "Attack" type.
BMPs are equipped with modern sighting systems, have powerful protection, and also have good maneuverability on the battlefield.
It is also known that the Algerians successfully operate heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1A "Solntsepek". In addition, they are upgrading their T-72M1 tanks with the help of Russian specialists.
