Ukraine has revealed that Russia’s secret weapon, the Tank Support Combat Vehicle (BMPT), aka ‘Terminator-2’, was helplessly attacked by a Ukrainian drone.
According to Ukrainian media ‘New Voice of Ukraine’ (NV) on the 13th (local time), on the 12th, the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) posted a video on Telegram showing the destruction of a Russian armored vehicle. The video, which is 1 minute and 11 seconds long, appears to be a propaganda video to publicize the achievements of the Ukrainian army in the war. A video taken by a Ukrainian military drone just before attacking a Russian armored vehicle and a Russian armored vehicle attacked by a drone are cross-edited.
In the video, a Russian Terminator-2 armored vehicle is destroyed in a series of drone strikes in Ukraine. It also shows soldiers running away. The Russian military tried to save this armored vehicle with a T-80 tank, but even this was said to have been attacked by a drone. It is unknown when this video was filmed, but it appears to have been filmed at several points, as the background around the armored vehicle in the video changes.
The SBU, who posted this video, said on Telegram, “We prepared for Judgment Day for Terminator-2.” “This rare armored vehicle was caught in flames by several kamikaze drones. “They tried to save the Terminator with the help of the T-80, but this was also attacked by the SBU Special Forces,” he said. “We will continue our efforts until we achieve complete victory.”
Russia is putting its BMPT ‘Terminator’ fire support combat vehicle, which is called ‘the end of urban warfare’, equipped with powerful armament, into the Ukraine war. It is designed to exert its power in urban combat and close combat, and is characterized by being heavily armed with heavy armor and powerful firearms that surpass infantry fighting vehicles.
It is armed with a turret equipped with twin 2A42 30mm cannons, one 7.62mm machine gun and four 9M120 Ataka-T anti-tank missiles. AG-17D 30mm high-speed grenade gunners are placed on both sides of the body, and a total of five crew members board and operate it. The Russian military estimates that the combat power of one BMPT-type combat vehicle is equal to that of six BMP armored vehicles and 40 fully armed infantrymen.
In May of last year, the Russian military deployed 10 Terminator-2, an improved version of the Terminator, into Severodonetsk, a city in the Luhansk region of Donbass in eastern Ukraine. Russian state television has boasted that it is “indestructible” while showing off the majesty of the armored vehicle. However, in February, for the first time, a video was released showing the vehicle being destroyed by Ukrainian forces.
