An updated first-generation BMP-1AM "Basurmanin" infantry fighting vehicle has been spotted in service with the Russian military. The heavy equipment, still of Soviet production, has received new components and assemblies.
The standard combat module has been completely replaced on this model. Instead of the old turret, a BPPU MB1 gun-machine gun mount, similar to the one installed on the BTR-82A armored personnel carrier, has been installed.
It uses a 30-mm 2A72 automatic cannon and a 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun. There are also new weapon stabilizer, sights with day and night channels. First of all, the overall firepower, rate of fire and range have increased. The firing sectors have also increased, including in the vertical plane.
The previous standard radio station was replaced with a digital "Aqueduct", and the protection was reinforced with side armored screens. Good mobility is provided to the "Basurmanin" by a powerful 300 hp engine.
BMP-1AM "Basurmanin" infantry fighting vehicles are replacing the BMP-1s that were in service with the Russian Armed Forces. In the army, they were called "kopecks".
Earlier www1.ru reported that the latest Svarog-Strela interceptor drone has entered the testing stage.
