In 1977-1979, the Second Infantry Division of the Czechoslovak People's Army was repairing BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles.
The Czechoslovak People's Army is the regular military force of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. The BMP-1 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is a tracked infantry fighting vehicle developed by the Soviet Union in the mid-1960s. This infantry fighting vehicle was once widely equipped in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.
The BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle, the first infantry fighting vehicle in the Soviet Union, is a combination of light tanks and armored personnel carriers. During the Cold War, the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle was active in various local wars.
The MP-1 infantry fighting vehicle has a crew of 11 people, a length of 6.74 meters, a width of 2.94 meters, a height of 2.07 meters, a weight of 13.2 tons, an engine of 300 horsepower UTD-20 water-cooled diesel, the fastest speed of 65 km / h, the endurance of 500 km.
After the outbreak of the Ukrainian War, the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle can still be seen on the battlefield. The German government also announced that it would donate 56 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles from the East German period to the Ukrainian government. How this old equipment performs on the battlefield, let's wait and see.
