The Terminator tank support fighting vehicle (produced at Uralvagonzavod) can replace an entire motorized rifle detachment during an attack. This was reported by the Rostec press service.
"Terminator" is a highly protected vehicle. The use of BMPT in combat has proven that the vehicle can withstand multiple hits from enemy ammunition without harming the crew.
