Originally called the Obiekt 765, the BMP-1 or Boevaya Mashina Pekhota, made its
debut at the 1967 Moscow Parade. It was first used in combat during the
1973 conflict between Egypt, Syria and Israel; then again in Afghanistan, Libya,
and Angola.
The layout of the BMP-1
is standard, with the driver sitting in the hull to the left, with the engine to
the right. The commander sits behind him in a 360 degree cupola with
searchlight. Both seats can use periscopes when the trim vane is erected
for amphibious operations. The one man turret is identical to that on the
BMD-1 Airborne Combat Vehicle. The 'Sagger' missile is located atop the
gun barrel.
