Russia's newest improvement of the BMPT. The BMPT-72V "Terminator II"

This model has increased turret protection and a new fire control system

So, IFV on tank's chassis?

Will this thing float like its predecessors?

This is not an IFV. This is a vehicle that emerged from the vurnability of MBT's in urban warfare. It has a Dual 30mm autocannon setup, coax MG, 2x 30mm grenade launchers and 4 ATGM missiles wich in term can also fire bunker buster munitions.

Wanna buy some?

Have they proven their effectiveness yet? I don't really see how this thing is less vulnurable to guerilla style urban combat just by giving it more guns.

Maybe it has faster turret rotation combined with shorter guns so that it can react faster? I am not sure this is going to make it invulnerable to well planned ambushes though.

Exactly my thoughts. You can give it 100 guns, but it won't save it from RPG ambushes from above or behind.

Apparently these are Russian troops at the airport in the Crimean city of Simferopol.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

According to reddit it's the Russian-speaking militia armed by the Russians.

It's really weird for a westener such as myself to imagine how an armed militia could just waltz around freely and take over random buildings. Why doesn't Ukraine's police or military intervene?

Becaue reight now its probably not sure who is in charge. And an Intervention of the military or even police is difficult against an armed militia. Also a violent intervention poses a a righer risk for escaltion (up to a war) than non violent actions.
