How Ukraine Easily Destroyed Russia's 'Terminator' Super Tank

"clogged toilet in your dorm?.... Artillery and tanks". You got that point across beautifully

The real reason why it has 2 30mm guns is because they couldn't figure out how to make a dual ammo feed mechanism work reliably and cheaply so they just used dual guns with one type of ammo loaded in each...

The title is not only misleading, it's is a flat-out lie.

While the M2 Bradley can be equipped with a 30mm cannon, it is normally armed with the M242 Bushmaster chaingun that is 25mm ×137mm

One thing I think the improved graphics show is forgetting is a tank is only as good as its crew. You can have the best tank in the world and still lose

The idea behind the BMP-T isn't bad, really - a specialist vehicle for low-intensity urban combat sounds like a pretty good idea, all things considered. It was done in by a combination of bad tactics, insufficient numbers, and the problems normally found when a new piece of kit is used in combat for the first time.

One of the many things you learn very quickly in combat situations.... hopefully not the hard way.... is that there hasn't been an armored vehicle built that can't be destroyed by superior tactics. Having a thing and knowing how to use it properly to get the most out of it are two very different things. Professional soldiers understand this, internet fan boys don't.

The BMPT is not based on a BMP hull. It's based on the T-72. This makes it better armored than IFVs and other light vehicles.

It's not based off the BMP chassis but the T-72 tank instead. So it has extremely good hull armor but almost none for the turret. Expecting the next gen to have AI running it so it lives up to the "Terminator" motif. But knowing Russian corruption/lack of semiconductors/poor QC, it might be more of threat to themselves if they do field it.

The BMP Terminator isn't a tank, it's an armored support vehicle

One of the primary lessons the US and Western militaries learned as far back as WW2 is that situational awareness is king: if you're able to detect an enemy much sooner than your enemy can detect you, you gain the first strike advantage which allows you to dictate the battle into your favor. This is exemplified by how no matter how many times they create armored copulas for their tank commanders to protect them from enemy fire (such as in the M48 and M60 tanks), they always go back to just the simple commander's hatch for the tank commander to stand out of: yes it puts the tank commander at relatively more risk, but it also gives the tank commander a better feel of the battlefield around them, allowing them to make far better decisions on how to engage enemies, and of course the sooner an enemy dies the less danger you'll be in. By the same token, dismounted infantry will always have better situational awareness of the battlefield compared to even the most advanced armored vehicle, even if only by virtue of having more eyes on the field. The Terminator is essentially the kind of solution you think up if you learned the entirely wrong lessons about how to conduct urban warfare, where thinking that just stacking on bigger guns to protect yourself is somehow the correct answer.

For some reason I find it absolutely gut busting when the American dude with the rocket launcher blows up several armed men then is all happy and cheery about it (around 4:26). The horrifying nature of the content directly contrasting with the happy smiley animation really tickles me.

It's not a terminator. It's a DEATH STAR. Looks impressive, has a glaring weakness.

At 4:28, I totally expected the guy behind the recoilless rifle to be turned into fine blood mist. It's recoilless because there is an open hole in the back that allows tons of exhaust gas to escape and equalize the momentum. Stay behind it and you get turned into mush.

I did not expect this video to be both informative AND hilarious 🤣

I love that they point out the "great" gun depression of -5°, which reafirms how bad of a depression soviet vehicle have. Also, for those who don't know -5° of depression is pretty terrible for an IFV, they ususally have around -8°.

7:36 "chassis of a BMP fighting vehicle" you sure about that? pretty sure it uses the chassis of a T-72

It isn't a tank. Its Tank Support Vehicle.
