How did Ukraine decimate Russia's 'Terminator' Ultra Tank so effortlessly?

With the conflict in Ukraine turning against them, Russia launched a revolutionary new super weapon known as the Terminator in May. When it joined the combat in Severodonetsk, this armored monster promised to make swiss cheese of Ukrainian soldiers, but what happened to these so-called Terminators? To discover out, go down today's amazing new narrative! ⛓🛡🏴‍☠️

• In May, Russia deployed a brand-new super weapon known as the Terminator as the battle in Ukraine shifted against it. When it joined the fighting near Severodonetsk, this armored monster vowed to turn Ukrainian defenders into Swiss cheese, but Ukraine ended up being the Sarah Connor to Russia's Terminator. This weapon was developed as a result of the extremely painful lessons learned from Russia's two wars in Chechnya. Russian armored forces were infamously savaged by Chechen fighters who rained rocket-propelled grenades down from above onto the porous top armor of Russian tanks while they were engaged in dense urban combat.
• Chechen hunter-killer squads were able to quickly decimate columns of armored vehicles before melting away thanks to their superior city knowledge and access to the upper floors of the buildings surrounding the battlefield. This was accomplished without taking even a single round from a Russian tank in retaliation. Russian infantry fighting vehicles (BMPs), which are used to support tank offensives, also share this weakness with most tanks in terms of how much they can raise their main cannon. This means that Russian vehicles in dense urban jungles are helpless against attacks from nearby buildings' upper stories. A machine gunner in a tank turret may offer some protection, but they are really just making themselves easy prey for snipers.
• The initial assault against the Iraqi military during the second invasion of the country presented similar challenges for the US. One significant distinction, however, meant that while American tanks suffered only very minor losses, Russian tanks were being reduced to scrap metal at truly horrifying rates. That difference was in doctrine: the US and other western nations long ago discovered that armor was extremely susceptible to enemy ambush by tank hunter-killer teams equipped with anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades. The formidable behemoths had a significant weakness in their defenses, and infantry was the answer. Dismounted infantry, who are tasked with clearing buildings and responding to threats from above, are now heavily used by western militaries to support their tanks.
• However, Russia chose to keep its infantry confined to the ostensible security of their armored vehicles, with results that were entirely predictable. In spite of the fact that Russia hasn't learned much over the past ten years, they have at least fielded the terrifying new Terminator weapon to try and counteract this obvious weakness. While the West learned to use infantry alongside tanks, Russia responded. Added tanks. Because Russia believes that it can effectively use a lot of artillery or tanks, ideally both, to solve any problem in the world, artillery and tanks used by a stubborn enemy artillery and tanks from the enemy counterattack.
• Your dorm room's clogged toilets and tanks To be honest, a lot of the design decisions used in The Terminator make a lot of sense on paper because it was created specifically to deal with threats in urban settings. The Terminator has two 30mm cannons, though even these can be customized, and a very unique feature: the turret can angle upward to very high degrees, up to 45, knowing that the biggest threats to tanks in urban combat come from above. This enables the Terminator to destroy enemy infantry that is attacking from above. To be completely honest, the Terminator has much more suppression-killing power than dismounted infantry carrying 7, since 30 mm cannon rounds will disintegrate even the strongest wall, assault rifles or machine guns that measure 62 mm.
• The Terminator could quickly transform a Chechen soldier who tried to hide behind a window in order to emerge and launch an attack. But in Chechnya, insurgents also ambushed Russian tanks from below, striking from basements and hurling explosives to go off as the tank rolled over them. Other fighters would simply charge up to a tank and throw molotov cocktails, which could cause the temperature inside an armored vehicle to soar to extremely dangerous levels that the crew would have to open hatches or abandon the vehicle entirely. Once more, Russian tanks could not effectively defend themselves in such close quarters because even their machine guns could not depress sufficiently to engage close-range targets.
• Because of this, the Terminator has a turret that can be lowered to a -5 degree angle, allowing it to shoot targets directly in front of it in emergency situations. On either side of its dual-cannon turret, the Terminator can also be fitted with additional support weapons. Four anti-tank missiles have been added to one configuration; however, they could be replaced with general high-explosive missiles to enable a Terminator to destroy structures like bunkers or multiple floors of a building where enemies—or, since this is Russia, civilians—are hiding. The Carl Gustav recoilless rifle, which can be used with various types of ammunition, is a similar weapon frequently used by the US for dismounted infantry.
• After engaging in intense urban combat with insurgents and Taliban fighters, the US Army greatly increased the stock of the high explosive variant of the round, enabling infantry to destroy buildings housing enemy fighters without needing to wait for air or artillery support. It's not surprising that Russia adopted a similar weapon for its Terminator vehicles because the weapon proved to be so potent. In terms of range and power, the anti-tank missiles carried by the Terminator are comparable to the US TOW anti-tank missiles fielded on the Bradley, but the Terminator can carry two times as many missiles. The Americans would lose a battle between a Bradley and a Terminator handily because both vehicles have 30 mm cannons, and the Terminator has twice as many of them as a US Bradley.
• The Terminator's flexibility is pretty impressive thanks to the additional punch that enables it to directly support armor in an anti-tank role. Although only slow-flying aircraft like heavy transport choppers can be hit by the Ataka missiles, which are guided by lasers, this is still possible. In and of themselves, twin 30 mm cannons are powerful weapons. In order to deal with armored vehicles, they can be armed with a variety of ammunition, such as high explosive fragmentation, high explosive tracer, and armor-piercing tracer. The various rounds give a Terminator a range of 2500 to 4,000 meters, but its most distinctive characteristic is that it was made to have two cannons, one for each type of round, giving it a range of 2500 to 4,000 meters.
• With no need to exit the vehicle for a risky reload after its 850 bullets run out, a Terminator could easily engage both enemy infantry and vehicles at the same time. Initially, the Terminator was also intended to have a feature that allowed the gunner to specify different targets for each cannon, but that turned out to be a major logistical nightmare for a gunner to manage. Since the ability was abandoned, the Terminator now has fixed cannons for convenience. The AbramsX demonstrator from the US showed off an AI that was able to automatically designate targets but not fire on them, suggesting that with advances in artificial intelligence, this capability may eventually be restored. 7 supports the main cannons. a 62mm machine gun with 2,000 rounds and two grenade launchers.
• The total number of 30mm grenades that the Terminator can carry is up to 600, which is truly terrifying. With a kill radius of seven meters and a range of 1700 meters per grenade, its automatic grenade launchers can fire high-explosive rounds at a rate of 420 to 480 rounds per minute, depending on the type of launcher installed. The Terminator has contemporary all-weather sights with thermal vision to find and engage targets. Both the commander and the gunner have individual sights, though the gunner can use the commander's in the event that his is damaged or lost. With a top speed of 37 mph (60 km/h), the computerized fire control system, like that of a modern tank, uses a laser rangefinder to deliver precise fire and automatic stabilization even when traveling at high speeds.
• Additionally, it can dive to a depth of 1.20 meters or 1.80 meters while wearing a snorkel. The crew is safeguarded by the BMP fighting vehicle's armored chassis, upon which the entire design is based. This offers the crew some defense against small-arms fire and some limited defense against RPGs and other light-explosive weapons. The Terminator, like the majority of armored vehicles, has twin smoke grenade launchers that can produce dense smoke to shield from visual and thermal observation, allowing the Terminator to use the smoke as a screen to flee or reposition. The Terminator is a formidable machine that should be excellent in the urban combat it was intended for. Why, then, have they been unable to change the course of the war in Russia's favor? When it was revealed that the Terminator would be used in May 2022, Russian military bloggers celebrated the demise of the Ukrainian military.
