Russian tank support combat vehicles (BMPT) "Terminator" have for the first time begun to be protected by an anti-drone metal structure. The Russian Ministry of Defense published footage of the novelty; previously, such photographs had not been released to the public.
The images show that the anti-drone "mangal" protects only the turret of the "Terminator", while the hull remains uncovered.
This decision seems very strange, since the main purpose of the BMPT is indicated in its name — supporting tanks, which are more seriously protected. Therefore, the protection of the "Terminator" on the battlefield remains doubtful.
It should be noted that the BMPT carries a complex of weapons that gives the vehicle advantages even in the fight against aerial targets — two 30-mm cannons and a machine gun. Four Ataka-T missiles and two automatic grenade launchers allow it to "work" even on the most fortified objects.
Less than two months ago, the manufacturer of the "Terminators", "Uralvagonzavod" (part of Rostec), supplied a new batch of BMPTs to the troops. The combat equipment received the latest updates of 2025 — enhanced dynamic protection, new anti-drone grilles, and electronic warfare kits, like on the T-90M "Proryv" and T-72B3M.
