- Description
- The BMD-1 is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle designed for Soviet airborne forces, combining light weight and air-droppability with the same 73mm 2A28 gun and 9M14M (AT-3 Sagger) ATGM as the BMP-1. It entered service in the late 1960s and could be paradropped with its crew. The 7.5 t tracked hull is amphibious (80 km/h on land, 4 km/h afloat) and uses a 5D-20 diesel producing 241 hp for a 32.1 hp/t power-to-weight ratio; active suspension allows ride-height adjustment. Crew of three and four passengers are carried.
The turret mounts the 73 mm gun (PG-9/OG-9) and 7.62mm PKT, plus a rail for 9M14M ATGMs, with a 6× sight and no stabilizer or laser rangefinder. An engine smoke system is fitted. Light armour was accepted in exchange for strategic mobility.
