The BMD-1 is a Soviet airborne amphibious tracked infantry fighting vehicle, which was introduced in 1969 and first seen by the West in 1970. BMD stands for Boyevaya Mashina Desanta. It can be dropped by parachute and although it resembles the BMP-1 it is in fact much smaller. The BMD-1 was used as an IFV by the Soviet Army's airborne divisions. An improved variant of the BMD-1 was developed, the BMD-2. The BMD-1 also provided a basis for the BTR-D airborne multi-purpose tracked APC.
BMP-1TS – Upgrade variant developed by Ukrainian private enterprise; Techimpex have been working on a RWS for the BMP-1 named Spys since 2018. Its armament consists of the usual assortment of on-board weapons: 30 mm ZTM-1 automatic cannon (with 300 rounds of ammunition), KT-7.62 MG (with 350 ready rounds of ammunition and a total of 2,100 rounds carried), a 30 mm KBA-117 AGS (with 116 rounds onboard, 29 ready to use) and Barrier ATGM (4 missiles carried of which 2 are ready to launch). The Spys module received the Syntez fire-control system consisting of Kazhan-3K15 sighting complex with both thermal and optical TV cameras as well as a laser rangefinder. Combat effectiveness is enhanced with an electro-mechanical 2-axis weapon stabilization system. The advanced software used in the Spys module allow for automatic target tracking. Its small overall dimensions mean that it is interchangeable with the original BMP-1 turret with no modifications required. The upgrade package does not include any changes to the chassis or automotive qualities of the BMP-1, and the only other addition is a Motorola DM4601 radio. Further mine and ballistic protection are only available as options. 10 vehicles were ordered by the Ukrainian defence ministry and unveiled at the 2021 Independence Day parade. At least 1 vehicle belonging to the 53rd Mechanized Brigade was lost in the city of Volnovakha in March during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The file contains the unit and pcx files. Model is not my own creation. Wyrmshadow helped with the animation files. I merely put the pieces together and cleaned up the model for CivIII and added some what if pieces. A big thanks to everyone that helped out!
