But there have been certain flashpoints, though, that were high intensity, high density, short time frames - the breakout from Ilovaisk you describe above, the last phase of assaults on Donetsk Airport (of which there is a superb map in progress), various assaults on Debaltsev' and the final breakout from that city. 

All what you want, but only not short time frames :). Ilovaisk breakthrough need a map about 27x10 km - there wasn't situation, when column was destroyed at once in some area. Assault of Donetsk airport is a complex battle, which doesn't limited only with fall of terminal. I just havn't ideas how to do this - either whole ATO campaign, or several independent campaigns "summer 2014", "South pocket. Sector D", "Russian invasion. Sector B (Ilovaisk)", "Russian invasion. Sector A /Luhansk airport battle/", "Donetsk airport", "Debaltsevo", "Avdiivka". But till in the game will not appear ZU-23, guntrucks, HMGs, BTR-80 and some other stuff (UNCONS.. ah...) it hasn't any sense.

Can we expect a combat debut soon then?

I think that we will soon see in action, but I am sure that the BMPT will protect at least 2 BTGs of marines. If Wunderwaffe is blown up, it will obviously fail for export and for the domestic market.

Small comment on the Terminator in Al Masdar News:  https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/never-seen-weapons-brace-syrian-battlefield-war-isis/

That vehicle definitely seems to be a T1+ hybrid, it still has the 30mm AGLs and doesn't have the beefed up upper hull of the T2:

It's all the same object 199, but with a modernized combat module. The module is already made in accordance with the serial technology - exactly the same as for BMPT for Kazakhstan - with the replacement of cast parts with welded parts. A new variant of launchers for B07S1.01.000 missiles is option 2 - it is distinguished by the presence of anti-bullet and anti-fragmentation protection. However, unlike BMPT variant for Kazakhstan, there is a commander's panorama without a thermal imager - only with a low-level television channel. This makes the car cheaper, but for the conditions of Syria, it does not make it less effective. Also on "Syrian" BMPT a serial version of ERA "Relikt" module is installed, additional ERA blocks in soft case are hung on sides, as on most modern version of the Russian Army T-72B3 tank modernization, anti-slip coatings are made.

Cheers for clearing that up.

If started talking about Syria, interesting information appeared.

Tanks of the T-72B3 during the fighting in Syria, during the offensive for the first time involved the tank guided missiles AT-11 "Sniper". The 9M119 rockets have many versions including thermobaric ones. Previously, Syrian troops used guided missiles on T-55MV tanks. There were also unconfirmed reports on the use of such weapons T-62M. T-90, T-90A and T-72B used only conventional ammunition.
