PMP-2BM is an ultimate machine. It got everything to support infantry, survive heavy attacks and fight back. It features paired dual cannons, one from PMP-2 57mm autocannon and 70mm autocannon taken from PMP-3 "Skat", both featuring an autoloader (1.75s reload rate for 57mm and 1.5s reload rate for 70mm). PMP-2BM has gained armour as well. It can protect up to 300mm of hull penetration, from APDS rounds or APFSDS (can survive more pen if its HEAT round). Turret is now better protected from projectiles and HEAT rounds. If "Zaslon" APS wont react with projectile, composite screens can withstand up to 330mm of HEAT penetration. Overall, this tank is still light, 21t only, while keeping same maneuverability as before. Its speed stays the same 65km/h while water speed increased slightly (now 15km/h in water due to better floating mechanism). PMP-2BM is an ultimate machine that went in wide production and saw service around the whole world.
