The Terminator tank support combat vehicles were used during combat training operations at the Zapad-2021 strategic exercises of the armed forces of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus.
According to the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the BMPT operated as part of mobile tactical groups during the transition to offensive actions of the motorized rifle division and the tank brigade of the coalition group.
This new type of domestic armored equipment has good protection characteristics, the firepower of cannon and missile weapons, multi-channel sights and surveillance devices, modern means of communication that provide command controllability. The 1000-horsepower engine allows you to develop high speed during marches and when maneuvering on the battlefield.
Recently, tracked "Terminators" have become mandatory participants in major military maneuvers. In particular, last year they were involved in the command and staff exercises "Caucasus-2020".
Tanks equipped with anti-mine trawls, engineering equipment and heavy self-propelled flamethrowers TOS-1A "Solntsepek"were thrown into the attack. They were protected from air strikes by air defense means.
In turn, our aviation was actively working - combat helicopters, multifunctional supersonic fighter-bombers Su-34.
For the first time in practice, the reconnaissance and strike drones "Pacer" and "Outpost" carrying guided missile weapons were used.
The latest B-19 BMP with the Epoch combat module, the Uran-9 and Nerekhta reconnaissance and fire support robots, as well as the Agriculture remote mining engineering system were also tested in ground operations.
