From an experimental development, the Terminators have turned into a full-fledged strike force of the Ground Forces. The combat vehicle received updates for 2025 — enhanced dynamic protection, new anti-drone grids and electronic warfare kits, the same solutions are used on the T-90M "Proryv" and T-72B3M.

According to Alexander Potapov, General Director of UVZ, the BMPT fills a critically important niche between the tank and the infantry.

Uralvagonzavod is fulfilling a large order — the need for the vehicle is high. It has always been believed that the main strike force of the Ground Forces are tanks. Now we can say that BMPTs are also being added to them.
