“Hasta La Vista, Baby!” Ukraine Kills Its First Russian Terminator Combat Vehicle
The Drive ^ | 2/9/2023 | EMMA HELFRICH

Posted on 02/10/2023 6:04:09 AM PST by marcusmaximus

Ukrainian forces have put an advanced Russian BMPT Terminator armored fighting vehicle out of commission for the first time, according to the Ukrainian Marines. The Terminator is a relatively new addition to Russia's ground arsenal and only a small number of them are known to be in service, making this kill quite the trophy for the Ukrainian military.

Members of the Ukrainian Marine Corps’ 140th Separate Reconnaissance Battalion helped destroy the BMPT, according to a post on the service’s official Facebook page. The post explains the Marines belonging to the unit shared the Terminator’s coordinates with nearby artillery forces, who then carried out the attack, stating:

Hasta la vista, baby! Soldiers of the 140th separate reconnaissance battalion of the marines found the detonated Russian BMPT "Terminator", transferred the coordinates to the artillery units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and further adjusted the fire. So, we see that this allegedly "invincible" and "unique" combat vehicle burns just as well as the rest of Russian scrap metal.

Back in 1917, the poor conscripts that the Russians were using for cannon fodder found a solution to their problem. Too bad it turned out very badly ...

ooops...

https://www.newsweek.com/russia-accidentally-blows-tank-belgorod-1773639

Russian tank repairmen in the Belgorod region have reportedly blown up a T-72 tank they were repairing, causing damage to two other tanks.

On Thursday evening, a fire broke out at a tank repair base in Belgorod, located near Russia’s border with Ukraine, according to Baza, a Russian Telegram channel that regularly posts information about security issues within the country.

The fire, which reportedly started due to a violation of fire safety during repairs, caused ammunition to detonate, destroying one tank and damaging two others nearby.

Firefighters arrived at the scene two hours after the fire, and it was extinguished in half an hour. There were no reported casualties, said Baza.

Ha..... you try to pawn off ancient history as relevant.

Ukraine is on fire made by the Russian war crimes.

History will record:
Zelensky is the man who is leading Ukraine to the defeat of the perpetual Russian menace and to the chagrin of Freeper supporters of the Russian war crimes against the Ukranian people.

BTW....

under the heading e pluribus unum I posted the following earlier today.

It is but one of many, many, many. It is current.

My unit got to examine Egyptian supplied Soviet armored vehicles in ‘80 at Vilseck, near Grafenworhr, Germany that were maintained by US mechanics.

I too was struck by how crappy they were, cramped, awkward and dangerous to the poor bastards that would have had to operate them.

The fuel storage in the rear doors of the BMP was a nice touch.

Trying to exit one in a hurry, slung with weapons and gear must have been
fun.

To be fair, the BMPT Terminator series is not built on the original BMP hulls. The one shown in this incident is a BMPT-72 - a T-72 tank hull with the turret and main gun replaced with the urban warfare turret. It has two 30mm autocannon, two automatic grenade launchers, four ATGM/anti-helicopter missiles and a GPMG in that turret.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMPT_Terminator

No doubt the workmanship isn’t great, but that’s a Russian thing - the gamble is that they can produce huge numbers of something that’s ‘good enough’. Which, to be fair, was a winning strategy back in WW2 when facing an enemy that demanded higher build quality of more complex designs... and the armaments on the BMPTs work just fine.

It is a T64 on your picture. The major UKIE battle tank. Notice it is side wheels are small.

It is BMP-1 very old armor. Russian army has BMP3 now. Also the fuel tank on other side of a motor? Doors are on a back of vehicle. I

Its advantage the canon which allow infantry have art support during any time.

Also what you say about Bradley which was designed to counter BMP-1? Where is its fuel tank located?

P.S. I think it wasn’t fuel tank but spare fuel for a long march or so.
