The Terminator BMPT and BMP-3 will receive projectiles with programmable detonation. What will it change? The development of such ammunition in many countries of the world is a priority in the development of military equipment of the ground forces. What are the features of the technology? The essence of such ammunition is the remote-controlled activation of fuses immediately at the moment of their approach to air or ground targets at a distance of 10-20 m. The range to targets can be measured both by laser rangefinders (in the case of using 2A42 cannons mounted on BMPTs, or from 2A72 BMP-3M cannons), and using guidance radars when using such projectiles in the Pantsir-S1 ammunition load. The final detonation command will be issued to laser photodetectors located in the tail sections of the projectiles, after which the ammunition will be detonated and the target will be hit. Projectiles of this type are highly effective in intercepting a large number of targets: from... Source: Lord Of War
