The armored group consisting of a BMP B-19 platoon was put into battle with the exit of the main forces of the conditional enemy to the front edge of the defense of the units of the military contingents of the armed forces of Belarus, India, Mongolia and Russia in order to increase the activity and stability of the defense during the conduct of hostilities for the retention of important borders, positions and areas. The latest B-19 combat vehicle with the Epokha combat module is equipped with a 57-mm automatic cannon, Kornet launchers and a new Bulat guided missile system with small-sized missiles to destroy firing points and lightly armored enemy equipment. A special feature of the information and control system of the armament of the combat module "Epokha" is the presence of a system for automated search, recognition of enemy objects, their support, preparation and issuance to the crew of the combat vehicle of proposals for the simultaneous or alternate use of two channels of fire damage.
