My poor wallet! No sign of release date? I believe after the second release of T-90 and 2S19 MSTA it will not be far enough! Happy days for Russian fans!

I wonder if Trumpeter will accept kidneys as a form of payment. They have a proven trackrecord of filtering large quantities of beer...

Well what did you expect?? hahahaha


So what's the status of the real BMPT? Are the Russians actually going to adopt it or what?

The REAL BMPT has some confusion around it. There were a few demonstrators made for the Russian Army back in 2005 I think, and they got a lot of press. However, right now only 3 are in use by Kazakhstan and it is unclear if these are in addition to the ones made for the Russian Army, or if these were refurbished back to new and sold to Kazakhstan.

So, there are at least 3 and possibly up to 7(?) built and in use.

Hi Everbody;

Well I cant wait for this one, im Dribbling Spit down my Chin as I speak.
Now I would have even Settled for one of the First Prototypes, which are just a Lil.-bit different.
The first samples only had just one 30mm cannon OHWS, and the hull looked like a modified T-72 hull.
One of the first pics that I have of it shown with the 2a70 Long Barrel 30mm, which was a real inaccurate weapon as it sufford from sever Barrel Whip when fired on full Auto.
Im going too post pics of the Prototypes when I figure out how.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Looks like they're still trying to sell them http://en.rian.ru/photolents/20130926/183743588_10/Russian-Expo-Arms-2013.html


And there's this, the Terminator 2, revealed earlier this week.

Nice kit, but not a very significant vehicle, I still doubt the Russian army operates more than a handful..

I'd prefer more T-72s from Trump.

To me, significance does not judge a kit. I was hoping for a busier bmp and this fits the bill. Also, look at all of the WWII German paper models. Huge following.

Judging by the shape of the Terminator 2 I would guess they have fitted Relik (Relikt) armor onto it as they have with the T-90MS- they might be waiting to bring both the MS and the new Terminator into service together, hence the lack of movement on the Terminator 1 numbers. Either way its nice to see the new kit.

Hi Everybody;
Fantastic--- Ive noticed quite a few different mods, from the video, the wing like mountings for the ATMs, and the Caged Headlites, and the new armored housing for the twin 23mm cannons. I don't quite understand why they offered such a Modified Terminator when they haven't even had that much Support for the Mk;1
Either way im still HAPPY that we will have another New Modern vehicle, and Different from the Traditional Tank Versions. Quite Welcome Indeed
CHEERS; MIKE.

There were never 23mm cannons on it. They didn't put it into service because of myriad of teething pains and flaws first iteration had. Kazakhstan bought fifteen of these, but they are so flushed with gold and oil cash that they buy stuff just for weird looks and status symbol.

George, I can only find authentication of Kazakhstan actually having 3. If they ordered 15, have they received them? Any where to verify?

Version 2 looks better for its purpose.
