Footage has appeared online of a modernized BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle with a makeshift mine trawl and additional mine protection for the bottom. The innovation was developed by soldiers from one of the repair units.
Using the heavy product, the BMP-2 crew confidently passes echeloned minefields.
The main threat to equipment on the battlefield is not only kamikaze drones, but also mines. It is not as easy to hit a moving vehicle with an electronic warfare system as it might seem. But when it is blown up and stalls, losing protection from UAVs, it is very easy to finish it off with a drone.
BMP-2 is a Soviet and Russian infantry fighting vehicle. It is designed to transport personnel of units, provide fire support, and destroy enemy manpower, tanks, and lightly armored vehicles.
The main armament of the BMP-2 is a 30-mm 2A42 automatic cannon mounted in a two-seat rotating turret. A 7.62-mm PKT machine gun is paired with the cannon. A 9P135M launcher is located on the roof of the turret between the gunner's and commander's hatches.
BMP-2 characteristics:
- Crew — 2 people, landing party — 8 people
- Weight — 14 t
- Engine power — 300 hp
- Maximum speed — 65 km/h, afloat — 7 km/h
- Maximum range on one refueling — 600 km
Earlier www1.ru reported that an underwater drone for clearing sea areas of mines has been developed in Russia.
