Deadly \"Beregok\": Combat Module for BMP-2 and BTR-90 to Become Even More Dangerous

The Instrument Design Bureau named after Academician A. G. Shipunov has patented an updated design of a combat module for light combat vehicles. The development is aimed at increasing the level of armor protection and expanding the combat capabilities of the module; the patent appeared in the FIPS database.

Based on the totality of features and the presented image, it can be concluded that we are talking about the development of the \"Beregok\" complex. According to the idea, the combat module is placed on the chassis of the vehicle and covered with an armored cap with a weapons complex.

It includes an automatic cannon, a coaxial machine gun, placed in a rotating mask, a launcher with missiles, and a gunner's sight. Around the perimeter of the cap, the developers conceived armored screens, and in the frontal part, additional screens were added, overlapping them and reaching the roof.

A separate trapezoidal armored screen is planned to be placed at a distance from the launcher, thereby increasing the protection of missile weapons. The gunner's sight is enclosed in an armored casing in the shape of a multifaceted truncated pyramid with windows for eyepieces, which reduces the vulnerability of the optics.

Recall that the B05Ya01 \"Beregok\" module is designed for deep modernization of BMP-1, BMP-2, and BTR-90. Thanks to the \"Kornet\" missiles, the crew will be able to destroy tanks even with dynamic protection at a range of up to 8-10 km.

At the same time, with due ingenuity, the \"Beregok\" is even installed on tanks. For example, the Algerian army distinguished itself in this way - the module armed half-century-old Soviet T-62s.
