For the first time, a full-time company of nine Terminator tank support combat vehicles has been formed in the Russian army. On the air of Sputnik radio, a military observer, retired Colonel Viktor Litovkin, commented on the event.

In the Central Military District, the first full-time unit in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has been formed, equipped with Terminator tank support combat vehicles (BMPT). This was announced by the commander of the Central Military District, Colonel-General Alexander Lapin.

According to him, the unit will receive nine combat vehicles. In June next year, the new equipment will be involved in large-scale exercises.

Terminator is a multi-purpose combat tracked fire support vehicle capable of destroying lightly armored targets, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. It poses a threat to helicopters and low-flying low-speed enemy aircraft.

On the air of Sputnik radio, military observer, retired Colonel Viktor Litovkin commented on the message.

"The tank support combat vehicle was created more than 20 years ago, but it hardly made its way into the troops. Finally, for the first time, a unit of "Terminators" was formed. This combat vehicle, unlike the tank itself, has an increased view of the terrain, the BMPT has many devices – infrared, optical, radio engineering, and so on. I emphasize the main thing – the view of the battlefield is very high and very powerful weapons. I don't think that the use of Terminators will immediately turn the whole tactics of combined arms combat, the tactics of using tank troops, but it will bring new colors, new elements and contribute to new successes of our combined arms units," Viktor Litovkin said.
