The BMP-1 is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle that entered Soviet service in 1966, introducing the concept of a tracked, amphibious vehicle capable of carrying infantry and engaging armour with a main gun and ATGM capability. Its 73mm 2A28 low-pressure gun fired PG-9 HEAT and OG-9 HE rounds, and the design influenced later IFVs worldwide. The 13.4 t hull is crewed by a driver, gunner, and commander plus six passengers, and is powered by a UTD-20 diesel producing 300 hp (22.4 hp/t) for 65 km/h on land and 7 km/h afloat. The turret has no stabilizer; the gunner has a 20 deg/s horizontal and 6 deg/s vertical traverse with elevation from -4° to 30°. A 7.62mm PKT is mounted coaxially. The vehicle is fitted with an engine smoke system but no laser rangefinder or modern fire control.
This vehicle features a single addon: BMP-1PK. The BMP-1PK upgrade costs 1,000 points and replaces the stock 9M14M Malyutka MACLOS ATGMs with 9M113 Konkurs SACLOS ATGMs. This significantly boosts combat effectiveness by increasing penetration by 100 mm (from 400 mm to 500 mm) while providing a much more intuitive guidance system.
