Notes: This is another one of those vehicles that is not easily placed into one category or another; based on a T-72 tank hull, it is not really a light combat vehicle; carrying no dismount troops, it is not a heavy APC; and not having a heavily-armed, heavily-armored turret, it is not a tank. The Russians call the BMPT a "Tank Support Vehicle;" its job is to tackle the infantry, APCs and IFVs, and other light vehicles to free tanks to take on other tanks and fortifications. The BMPT was first demonstrated to the public in 2000. It is normally based on a T-72 chassis, but the modifications can also be made to a T-90 chassis to provide a vehicle with better armor protection and mobility. The hull is basically a modified tank hull which has the same level of armor protection as the base tank hull and a new engine; the turret, though fairly heavily-armored, is not anywhere as nearly protected as the hull. The modified turret has 2A42 or 2A72 30mm autocannon for use against lightly-armored or unarmored vehicles, two medium and one heavy machinegun for general antipersonnel or antiaircraft use, and an armored box launcher on the left side of the turret containing four launchers for AT-14 Kornet ATGM. On each side of the hull above the front track skirts is an AGS-30 grenade launcher for use against troops in the open. Each side of the turret has six 902-series "Tucha" smoke grenade launchers to provide obscuring smoke. The hull has lugs for ERA on the glacis and hull front and the side skirts, and the BMPT is equipped with an NPC overpressure system and radiation shielding. A 5 kW APU is located in an armored box on the right side of the vehicle. Each crewmember has their own hatch; the driver is in the center front, the commander/right AGS-30 behind the driver on the right, the left AGS-30 gunner behind the driver on the right, and the turret gunners with hatches on either side of the autocannon on the flat portion of the forward deck of the turret. Any crewmember except the driver may take control of all the weapons if necessary, or replace an injured or dead crewman without leaving his station. Fence-type armor protects the vehicle from the rear, in addition to the normal armor; this functions as spaced armor, except that it stops only 1d6 damage instead of 2d6. Future versions of the BMPT are planned, with different armament packages and possibly on different tank chassis. Twilight 2000 Notes: This vehicle's existence was rumored as early as 1995, but examples were not seen until 1998, in Iran, China, and Poland. These versions were the T-72-based BMPTs; the T-90-based model was not built during the Twilight War. 소스는 http://www.pmulcahy.com/tracked_lcv/russian_tlcv.htm 일단 이 사이트는 twilight 2000이라는 게임자료를 주로 취급하는 사이트입니다. 위 사이트의 자료대로라면 결코 저렴한 무기는 아니리라 짐작되네요. 베이스에 따라 다르지만 40만$, 60만$라니 완전 전차 한대값. 참고로 위 사이트에서는 최신형 BLACK EAGLE전차를 73만$, T-80/ARENA 전차를 44만$로 보고있더군요. 그 외에도 영문자료지만 읽을거리가 있길래 긁어왔습니다. 러시아 자료보다는 읽기 편하리라 생각됩니다. 다시한번 말하지만 게임 자료기 때문에 신빙성은 장담할수 없습니다.
