A Belarusian modified BMP-1 Cobra-S with Kontact-1 ERA and BTR-70 Cobra-K, both with a new turret that houses a 2A42 autocannon. Further design assistance was received from Slovakia. Some of these vehicles are in service with country’s like Sudan.
KV-1 knocked out by 26th (Antitank) Gun Company in 5th of September 1941 in Aleksandrovka in Carelian Isthmus. Captured 45-mm antitank-guns used by the Gun Company proved ineffective against this tank, but satchel charge broke its track and allowed Finnish Army to capture the tank. Series of archive photographs shows that by the time the tank was photographed its track had been repaired, but the tank was also equipped with demolition charge in case of counter attack. Since the tank never made into Finnish inventory, it was probably blown up. Photographed by Military official A. Viitasalo.
I was trying to find any info for the vehicle armor since the finnish did use it for a bit before potentially blowing it up. Its just hard to get info since the finnish crew really only kept documentation on their other tanks and not so much on the 2 heavies they had.
See the add on armor looks similar but the top is noticeably shorter and it only has the armor on the front. Also i would make this into a suggested vehicle but id need more info.
A modern image of a rare BMP-1D. AI was used to remove conflict-symbology. Here’s a comparison of the image to an artists representation of the vehicle. Note there are some differences such as missing some applique armor but it’s the closest to a look-alike of the vehicle we have. The BMP-1D, if implemented in-game, lacks the 9M14 Malyutka ATGM but instead receives appliqué armor and in some cases the AGS-17 30mm grenade launcher for which should be added. It would play very similarly to the in-game BMP-1P with the exception of having more armor and a grenade launcher instead of the Konkurs ATGM. Please see my previous post to see the vehicle with the grenade launcher mounted.
This is from Russia, Tula design bureuo.
Aiming sigjt 1P45M-1, 1PN79M-1 thermal sight, the launcher’s index is 9P163-2.
Same as BMP-2M can launch and guide two ATGMs at a time.
Adopted by some country/countries
Carries 9 ATGMs in total, 4 already on launcher.
I think they seem to be stored on back of the vehicle.
I will try to find it, I already have turret maximum rotation angles: full 360° horizontal, -10°/+15°
It is mentioned to have both electrical and mechanical turret controls, which we can see one of the modules for that.
Additionally there’s version for owners of VBL, seeing the camo it clearly wasnt advertised to french.
Spoiler
About the production: in 1999 the first batch was delivered UAE (they only bought one), I dont know if other countries bought them atm.
The development of Kvartet was at the same time as of Kliver turret by the same design bureuo, with the same ATGM.
