Russia to receive its first operational BMP-T 'Terminator' Urban Assault vehicle units in 2018



The Russian Federation is set to receive an unknown number of tank support vehicles dubbed "Terminators" in 2018. Designed to support tanks on the battlefield with a withering amount of firepower, Terminators carry a mix of missiles, light cannon, and machine guns that can engage everything from enemy tanks to ground troops.

The BMP-T armored vehicle is the result of Soviet and Russian experiences in Afghanistan and post-Cold War conflicts in Chechnya. Soviet and later Russian tanks such as the T72 were optimized for engaging NATO tanks on the battlefield and were not as efficient at battling guerrillas and light infantry. Guerrillas and light infantry, however, with anti-tank weapons such as the RPG-16 and Kornet missiles, are very efficient at battling tanks, especially in close areas such as cities.

The Terminator is designed to escort Russian tanks and rake the battlefield with firepower, killing enemy infantry anti-tank teams or suppressing them so they are unable to aim properly. The BMP-T's main weaponry are two 30-millimeter 2A42 autocannons (one loaded with armor-piercing ammunition and another with HE-Frag ammunition) with 850 rounds and two 7.62-millimeter PKTM co-axial machine guns with 2,500 rounds. The BMP-T will use them to engage probable and identified infantry anti-tank positions. This allows Russian tanks to focus on the job of engaging enemy tanks and achieving breakthroughs.

In addition to anti-personnel weapons the BMP-T is also equipped with four 9M20 Ataka (NATO: AT-9 Spiral 2) laser guided missiles, which can engage tanks or low-flying helicopters to ranges of up to 4 miles. Anti-Personnel (Thermobaric) and anti-aircraft (HE-Frag) versions of the missile also exists. The BMP-T is also equipped with two hull mounted automatic anti-personnel grenade launchers.

Defensively, the protection level of the BMP-T will also be improved with the installation of a modified 'Relikt' ERA system. Instead of only focusing the ERA armor to the front of the vehicle, as in the tank 'Relikt' systems, this modified version will also extensively cover the sides and rear of the BMP-T. A bulldozer blade can also be installed so the BMP-T can clear out rubble or barricades.

An unknown number of Terminators are on order, but TASS reports the contract for the armored vehicles placed in 2017 is worth $417 million. That's probably worth at least 100 Terminators, enough for two tank divisions. Reports state that during urban combat operations, 2 BMP-Ts will escort a tank, while in open country a BMP-T will escort 2 tanks.

Also on a related note, countries such as Algeria, Syria and even Israel is reportedly very interested in the BMP-T. Besides the actual vehicles themselves, Uravagonzagod is also developing a retrofit BMP-T kit, known as the BMP-T72, that is able to be installed in any Russian-built T72 hull as a cheaper alternative to foreign customers.

Soldiers furious British Army's £440 Million Foxhound Armored cars keep breaking down in Afghanistan



The Army's £440million upgrade on the much-maligned 'Snatch' Land Rover breaks down in the heat of Afghanistan, it has been revealed.
The British-made Foxhound had been earmarked as a replacement for the Northern Ireland-era Land Rovers.

Designed to withstand damage from arsenal used by IRA insurgents, they failed to protect soldiers from IEDs in Basra and Helmand, with 37 squaddies dying while inside the trucks. The Foxhound was designed specifically to operate in the hot and dusty climate of Helmand in Afghanistan, with each vehicle costing nearly £1m.

But troops say there are serious problems with their reliability and the vehicles "cannot handle the heat".

An army source told The Sun: 'They're a massive waste of money. It's a speed boat engine in a truck."

The sergeant, who did not want to be named, said the vehicles keep overheating.

"They break down all the time. They cannot handle the heat, they have a massive problem with it.

"At 50 degrees the engine cooks out."

He said he was having to strip the vehicles down every five or six weeks to keep them running. Normally, this would only be done twice a year.

The soldier also said he had had to alter the bonnets to try to increase the air supply to cool down the engines. However, tools were not provided to deal with this so he bought his own specialist equipment, he said.

Tthe MoD later disputed that claim. However defence sources did not dispute there had been reliability issues.

looks like its the same issue with their warthogs
