This video discusses the BMPT Terminator I and the BMPT-72 Terminator II. We look at the origins and influences from the Soviet-Afghan War, the Battle of Grozny / Chechen Wars and others. We look at various photos of both vehicles and the differences between the BMPT and BMPT-72. Additionally, we also look at the geo-strategic situation in regards to demographics and more people living in cities.
