Are the controls in Russian? I may have to go steal one of them.
How far is it over the top and through Canada? Is it froze enough? |

As an infantry support vehicle, it is more expendable than tank in urban combat.
Tell you what, send a dozen here and it can be tested in LA, Seattle, Potland, San Francisco, and any other sh*thole where Antifa protests. Those socialist scum and anarchist PoS can embrace commie goodness. |

I am willing to buy one for $40k. Why isn't it moving and shooting? Show us that gyrostabilized turret at work.

The BMP-T is an infantry buzzsaw. It does have some anti-armor weapons for defense, but its primary function is to turn infantry into bloody chunks.

ETA It's a repurposed tank hull? |

These were designed to replace the repurposed ZSU-23 Shilkas the Russians were using to clear infantry threats out of tall buildings in urban areas in Chechnya, threats the MBTs were unable to incline their guns enough to engage. |

The chief flaw with the T72 tank was the exposed shell and powder canister that could cook off and then ignite the cauresel (i know that's spelled wrong i hate my phone), which causes the whole turrent o launch upwards ehen the turret is breached.
With 30mm guns and missiles it probably wont have that problem. But spare ammo needs to be stored somewhere and not much room for a sealed ammo compartment with blow out panels so likely they're still fucked. But not much in the way of a turret, so might be hard to hit it right to kill it up in the first place. But as a IFV i can see that fucking some shit up, especially in against the reinforced concrete and mudbrick construction of the middle east. Though I'd take the armament of a BMP3 over this, as it has a 100mm cannon (that can fire HE round or ATGM), and a single 30mm cannon. I really can't see a need for two 30mm besides psychological, not very practical. What needs that many 30mm rounds hitting are once? Those things aren't small or lightweight. And a 100mn cannon come in real handy at times when shit needs to completely be demolished. Probably a remnant of the role of the Terminator's dedicated AAA predecessors which carried two or more cannons and could elevate their guns high enough for street fights during urban warfare. BMPs had shitty armor and couldn't elevate their guns to cover tall buildings in Grozni so they pressed Shilkas into the role of infantry support as well as other AAA vehicles, all had multiple guns of same 25-30mm caliber. But their armor was shit, design was too tall (RPG magnet), and really crappy fire control for using the guns against ground targets. |

If the wiki B.S. is to be believed, I supppose they are at least thinking. Armored fire power
to support a tank, with two per tank in urban warfare, or one per two tanks in open terrain. I guess the Chechens left their mark. |

130mm 9M120 “Ataka-T” anti-tank missiles. These missiles are capable of penetrating over two-feet of tank armor. I'm thinking no, but a 2' penetration is impressive so I'd like to see it perform. |

If you're an infantryman and you see one of those things rumbling up the street in front of you, yes, absolutely formidable and frightening.
It can be argued if the vehicle is too specialised to be economically (money, logistics, manpower) fielded and if the resources may not be better spent. However, as a purpose-built, specialised vehicle, when it's doing what it's designed to do, nothing else is going to come close. This is one of those things that if you only have one Javelin, use it on the BMP-T, and hope something else shows up to take out the T-72. |

I can't read about new Russian military equipment without laughing my ass off. If anyone has seen my previous posts in other threads on the matter, you know why. It not rehash for the umptillionth time this month.
Can we just invade them already and get it over with? We can call it "New Alaska" just to rub it in a little. |

Formidable against LE6920 and pitchforks.
Got guns but.... One hit to the turret all it becomes is a rolling chassis driving blind. As urban warfare goes....... in a tank chassis.... you could restrict it's movement. All missile tubes are exposed and don't see a way to reload unless you get out of the vehicle. The dual chain guns seem like the best platform. Will one work when the other one is down? Yeah Russia is our most competitive adversary but known to hash some POS together and quickly. Some of their stuff pans out, most doesn't. Let's see how they perform in the real environment. A true BMP can haul ass and is light. This has a 72 hull. Which T72 are lethargic in rough terrain. Looks like an AT4 can disable all fire systems with a hit to the turret. |

Looks badass. Those would be great for fire support assuming they don't break down. I'm assuming it's a bit lighter and faster than a t72 without the turret weight.

They have both reactive armor and an effective active protection suite. I wouldn't like to be the first person to try this. TOWs are optically guided, which means you can see the BMP-T. If you can see the BMP-T, it can see you, and that's not a great place to be if you're on foot or in a light-skinned vehicle. |
