Uralvagonzavod decided to get rid of the name of the hero Schwarzenegger.
The tank support combat vehicle (BMPT), previously known as the "Terminator," has been renamed "Spiridon." The Uralvagonzavod (part of Rostec) announced the renaming of its product on its social media.
"The machine that replaces an entire unit no longer bears the nickname of the American destroyer robot," Uralvagonzavod reported.
The BMPT has been "officially renamed in honor of courage, resilience, and strength of spirit," and it has received the name "Spiridon," according to a statement from the press service of UVZ on "VKontakte." The renaming occurred at the request of the factory workers and the crews of the machines from the special military operation zone.
"Why 'Spiridon'? It is a rare but respected name in Russia. It was borne by truly strong-spirited people," explains Uralvagonzavod. The name itself means "box/case" and symbolizes the strength of what is made by man.
