Last week, an armored vehicle, very similar to a heavy armored personnel carrier, was spotted near a group of armed formations of the Kiev regime suffering defeat in Artemovsk.Image source: Photo: "RG: Russian weapons"

Manufactured on the basis of the T-64 "armored mutant" APUAs the project "RG: Russian weapons" notes, in its layout it strongly resembles the BMO-T - a flamethrower combat vehicle created more than two decades ago in Omsk.
In Ukraine, for a long time, various unscrupulous inventions were spread against her, but now, without hesitation, they simply tried to copy her. However, it turned out very badly for them. The main drawback is the use as a base platform of the closest Soviet tank of the second generation after the Great Patriotic War - the Kharkov T-64.
If in the BMO-T, in addition to the crew of two servicemen, seven more fighters plus thirty RPO-A "Bumblebee" flamethrowers are placed, then a maximum of five people will fit into this craft from the APU.

"Armored Mutant"The armored wheelhouse, which appeared on the site of the tower, armed with a 125-mm cannon, is plastered with dynamic protection of the first generation.
It neutralizes only some types of cumulative ammunition, while the Russian model has a more advanced built-in "reactive armor", which also reflects sub-caliber high-speed projectiles.
Unsatisfactory can also be considered the protection of onboard projections, where there are a lot of vulnerabilities.
Interestingly, the supporters of the Kiev regime themselves have not yet decided what they have created there, some say that an armored personnel carrier, others suggest that some kind of supply transporter, others claim that an armored repair and evacuation vehicle. At the same time, the extremely unsuccessful BRAM-64, which failed on tests, is mentioned as an analogue. However, the mentioned sample had special equipment in the form of a crane, a cargo platform, bulldozer equipment, etc. None of the above is here.
