Escalating Tensions: Russia Increases the Use of BMPT Terminators in Ukraine

In a significant development on the southern front, the Russian military successfully penetrated Ukrainian defenses, securing a foothold near SNT Vinogradniki and establishing a presence in Avdiivka. According to reports, Russian infantry, supported by BMPT combat vehicles and tanks, carried out a surprise assault, catching the Ukrainian army off guard. This strategic shift in tactics by the Russian army, observed post-BMPT deployment in May 2022, raises questions: How effective is BMPT? What drives Russia to increase its deployment?
