BMD-1
Sign in to saveAlso known as BMD, BMD1
The BMD-1 is a Soviet airborne amphibious tracked infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), which was introduced in 1969 and first seen by the West in 1970. BMD stands for Boyevaya Mashina Desanta (Боевая Машина Десанта, which literally translates to "Airborne Combat Vehicle"). It can be dropped by parachute and although it is of similar shape to the BMP-1 it is smaller, at just over half the weight. The BMD-1 was used as an IFV by the Soviet Airborne Forces (VDV). 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

El BMD-1 es un vehículo de combate de infantería aerotransportable soviético introducido en 1969. BMD significa Boyevaya Mashina Desanta (en ruso, Боевая Машина Десанта, literalmente "Vehículo de Combate de Desembarco Aéreo"). El BMD-1 puede ser lanzado en paracaídas, y aunque se parece al BMP-1, su tamaño y peso son mucho menores. El BMD-1 y sus variantes han sido usados por las VDV de la Unión Soviética y, posteriormente, de la Federación Rusa.
