During the Cold War, in 1983, the Swedish Army required vehicles with high mobility, air defence and anti-tank capability, high survivability and protection. In 1985, the "stridsfordon 90" project group, made up of representatives from the Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarsmakten), the FMV and Swedish industry (including Hägglunds and Bofors), finalized the design for a "unity vehicle" that ...
The BMP-1 has a conical turret equipped with a fume extraction system and an electric traverse drive with a manual backup system. [14] The main gun has a dead-zone over the commander's hatch (between the 10:00 and 11:00 o'clock positions), where the gun must be elevated over the infra-red searchlight to avoid crushing it.
The 300 hp UTD-20 engine was replaced with a 3-cylinder, two-stroke 3TD-2 diesel motor making 400 hp and sharing many parts with 5TDF and 6TD series tank engines in Ukrainian service. The troop compartment layout was improved by raising the hull roof by 15 cm, and the small, un-ergonomic egress doors at the rear of the BMP-1 were replaced by a ...
DRDO Light Tank BMP-1 variant. The DRDO light tank is a tracked amphibious light tank developed in India by DRDO. It is based on the "Sarath" chassis, a licensed variant of the Soviet BMP infantry fighting vehicle. It was built by the Ordnance Factory Medak with a French GIAT TS-90 turret and 105 mm gun. This was an experimental vehicle ...
A prototype designated BTR-90M was built with a larger turret derived from the BMP-3, mounting a coaxial low-velocity 2A70 100mm rifled gun/missile launcher system (which can fire conventional shells or laser beam-riding 9M117 anti-tank missiles , such as AT-10 Stabber), a 30mm Shipunov 2A72 cannon, and a 7.62mm PKT machine gun. The BTR-90M was ...
The 2A28 Grom also known as KBP 2A28 Grom, is the main armament of the Soviet-designed BMP-1 and BMD-1 infantry fighting vehicles.It is a 73 mm low pressure smoothbore semi-automatic gun with a wedge breech block. [1]
The one-man-turret fighting vehicle seated its driver and commander in tandem layout, in the front-left side of the hull alongside the diesel engine. When a BMP-1 hit a tilt-rod anti-tank land mine its steeply sloped lower front glacis armour plate allowed the mine's arming rod to tilt with little resistance until the maximum deflection was ...
The idea was put on hold until the 1990s when it became obsolete as the role of the ikv 91 could be filled by new strv 122 main battle tanks and strf 90 infantry fighting vehicles. [ 1 ] Besides Swedish interests, a prototype armed with a 105 mm gun was made in 1983 for export to India, simply named the ikv 91-105.
