Repair and upgrade: Russian weapons supply BMP-2M army "accelerated pace"
As reported on November 22 by Army Recognition Operators, the invaders are supplied by these machines that have undergone major repairs and modernization. In particular, it is said that the 560th armored repair plant, located in the Amur region, shipped a batch of BMP-2M machines after major repairs. "Machines have undergone a comprehensive modernization, during which all major units and units were replaced or repaired.
In addition, these combat vehicles were installed special fixtures for additional protection, and servicemen were provided with protective equipment," - writes the authors of the publication. The observers noted that Russian sources about the specific BMP-2 model are not mentioned, but it is known that recently the BMP-2M, equipped with a module of "Berezhk", has recently been armed with Russian troops.
These machines are designed to enhance the capabilities of motor -shooting units, providing them with increased mobility, weapons and protection, especially in conditions after use of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. The module consists of 30 mm automatic gun 2A42, 7. 62-mm PKTM machine gun, 30 mm automatic AG-30M grenade launcher, as well as two launching installations of anti-tank controlled missiles "Cornet".
With regard to improvements, BMP-2M has undergone significant modernization, which created two options: "SB4-2", which is designed to interact with troops on the battlefield, and "SB4-3", optimized for anti-tank operations. The variant "SB4-2" is distinguished by high firing power due to the 30 mm automatic grenade launcher AG-17 and anti-tank complex with controlled missiles "competition-M".
The variant "SB4-3", on the contrary, is distinguished by advanced target systems and fire, including the multi-channel sight of the gunner and a new stabilizer of weapons. This model is also equipped with supersonic anti-tank controlled anti-tank missiles "Atac-T", capable of affecting armored targets with high accuracy. Both variants of BMP-2M received an UTD-23 engine with a puzzle and an improved chassis, which significantly improved maneuverability and general characteristics.
