The BMPT was nicknamed the "Combine of Death"for its versatility even before it was put into service. Indeed, the crew of this armored vehicle, consisting of five people, can bring down a steel rain on the enemy from 30-mm shells of 2A42 cannons, two 30-mm automatic grenade launchers AG-17 at once, as well as guided missiles "Attack" with various types of combat units . It was reported that up to four targets can be attacked simultaneously. The modern fire control system allows you to use this weapon at any time of the day.
At the same time, the BMPT itself has a powerful armor protection from all projections and is able to withstand the hit of the most modern anti-tank weapons of the enemy. A powerful engine provides good maneuverability.
According to military experts, rocket-gun "combines" are an ideal means of combating Basmachi - representatives of various illegal formations, their vehicles. Given the complicated situation on the southern borders of the CSTO, it can be assumed that the number of such armored vehicles in the troops will grow.
