The BMP-1 Infantry War Vehicle was developed in the 1960s and entered the Service of the Soviet Army in 1966. The mass production of the vehicle started this year and lasted until 1982. The BMP-1 was running with a single UTD-20 diesel engine of 300 HP. And he could buy up to 8 soldiers. BMP-1 Basic Weapon: 73 mm 2a28 ball, 1 PKT machine gun caliber: 7.62 mm and 1 atgm launcher (guided tank missile) 9m14m Malyutka.

It turned out that the BMP-1 was a unique revolutionary structure in NATO troops during the period it entered into service. The use of a relatively powerful engine and the ability to swim in the BMP-1 gave him a lot of maneuverability in the battlefield. The armor of the car - at least theoretically - made him resistant to small -caliber fire. In contrast, strong weapons (especially the modern Malyutka ATGM in the 1960s) gave BMP-1 a very good chance against the armored personnel carriers of Western countries and even allowed him to fight against NATO MBTs! However, many defects occurred during the operation. First of all, the sensitivity to behind fire is quite high, inadequate armor and its predisposition to modernization is very low. In addition, the tactic of using the BMP-1, which was preferred by the Soviet army and used by Egypt in the War of Yom Kippur (1973), was almost to attack the enemy positions and rapidly removing soldiers. He faced a great risk and led to significant losses on the attacking side. In spite of these disadvantages, the BMP-1 was undoubtedly a groundbreaking design that has described its own class of vehicle for many years. For this reason, it is not surprising to export the Warsaw Pact and third world countries on a large scale. The BMP-1 vehicle was also used in many conflicts: in the War of Yom-Kippur (1973), in the War of Afghanistan (1979-1989 ), In the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) and even during the conflicts in Ukraine in 2014!
