Work on the Terminator support vehicle began in the mid-1980s, based on the T-72A tank. State trials of the BMPT were successfully completed in 2006, and the vehicle was approved for mass production. Initial plans would see the vehicle adopted into service with the Russian army by 2010, but these plans did not materialize. Serial production only began in 2011, with the first batch of vehicles intended for the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan.

Later in 2013, a new version of the vehicle was unveiled, named the BMPT-72 "Terminator-2." This modification was a conversion of in-service T-72 tanks, which were adapted into fire support vehicles. The key differences from the original version included a higher degree of commonality with the base T-72 tank, a reduction of the crew from five to three people, and reinforced armor on the anti-tank guided missile launchers. This modernization was aimed at increasing survivability while simultaneously reducing operational costs.

Both variants of the vehicle were shown off at several international arms exhibitions, garnering a lot of attention due to their futuristic appearance. In 2017, the BMPT underwent testing in real combat conditions during the conflict in Syria. Later that same year, the first production vehicles began to enter service with the Russian army.

Introducing the Terminators!

The famous Terminator series of support vehicles is coming to the game in the Line of Contact update! We’re happy to present the researchable 2017 model BMPT Terminator, and are opening pre-orders for the premium BMPT-72 Terminator 2! Today we’ll go through the key features of these imposing vehicles and the differences between both models, let’s go!

The idea of a specialized vehicle for supporting tanks was prompted by their high vulnerability in modern urban combat conditions. The BMPT — Boyevaya Mashina Podderzhki Tankov (Tank Support Combat Vehicle) — is not only intended to fight infantry, but can also engage enemy armored vehicles itself using ATGMs. The combat module of the Terminator series includes a pair of 30 mm automatic cannons, equipped with high-explosive fragmentation shells for aircraft and APDS for more armored targets. The primary weapon of the Terminators, however, will be the Ataka ATGM. Two types of warhead are available: tandem charge and HE.

Both Terminators are built on a tank chassis, the T-90 for the regular Terminator and the T-72 for the Terminator 2, meaning these support vehicles will be relatively well protected. The vehicle hulls have combined armor, featuring steel and composite armor elements in combination with ERA blocks and slat armor. Both variants also have a dozer blade, which can be used to dig a trench in order to hide the hull, only exposing the combat module to the enemy — perfect for defensive positions around cap points.

Both vehicles have smoke grenade launchers, laser rangefinders and laser warning systems, along with night vision devices and thermal imagers (only for the gunner on the BMPT, and for the gunner and commander on the BMPT-72). The primary difference between the two is the crew count, 5 on the BMPT and only 3 on the BMPT-72. The regular BMPT features the AGS automatic grenade launcher with 30 mm fragmentation grenades as part of its combat module, while the BMPT-72 receives some additional armor on the ATGM launch containers to protect against machine guns and shrapnel, as well as additional slat armor on the sides and rear protecting the engine compartment area. Both vehicles are ultimately quite similar, just with small unique advantages in different areas.

Pre-orders for the BMPT-72 Terminator 2 are open from today! Pick it up before the update lands for some extra bonuses, along with a hefty supply of Golden Eagles and Premium Time! Thanks for reading today's blog, we hope you’re as excited as we are for the Terminators!

Please note that these vehicles are still in development and certain characteristics may change before release.
