First time to see this BMT-72, simply looks great, and that "troop compartment" for 5 persons is great too.
I never heard that this BMT-72 is in service. Sorry mate, on whole Internet I only find a Chinese site with decent info about this BMT-72, time to start Chinese learning ![]() Anyway here the Chinese Link (Global Military): http://www.pladaily.com.cn/item/hqjs/huigu/2003-11a.htm But Chinese classify the BMT-72 not as a real Tank but just a Infantry Combat Vehicle. |

OK, here are some discussion about this MBT-72 on StrategyPage.com:
"The Russian is also working on a BMT-72 HIFV which looks like a MBT but in fact a Heavy Infantry Fighting Vehicle(HIFV). May be in future ,this will be the standard armour arsenal in most army and MBT will continue to play a part in the 21th century armour warfare in other form."

Yeah Doc, now I don't need to apologize I called you doctor
![]() Well, I check some sites, indeed they all cal them HIFV, "combat" is rarely used. There is so little info about BMT HIFV on net, maybe BMT is simply a new concept? But I don't think HIFV is the way of future, we should not try to combine different function units into one single vehcile. I would simply combine a good MBT with a Armored Infantry Vehcile. Just enjoying some IFV's ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
