Technical Data
Back to top
Armament
For its self-protection the BMP-1KSh is armed with a PK 7.62 mm machine gun. The vehicle is always equipped with a one-man turret as the standard BMP-1, but the 76 mm cannon is removed and replaced by a larger telescopic antenna called HAWK EYE.
Design and protection
The layout of the BMP-1KSh is very similar to the Russian BMP-1 armoured infantry fighting vehicle. The hull of the BMP-1KSh is made of all-welded steel which provides a protection for the crew against small arms fire and shell splinters. The crew consists of three soldiers, the driver and two radio operators who are sit at the front of the vehicle. There is place at the rear of the crew compartment for four staff officers.
Propulsion
The BMP-1KSh is powered by a type UTD-20 6-cylinder in-line water-cooled diesel engine developing 300 hp at 2,000 rpm. The torsion bar suspension is the same as the standard BMP-1, which consists of each side of six rubber-tyred road wheels with the drive sprocket at the front, idler at the rear and three track-return rollers. The first and last road wheel stations have a hydraulic shock-absorber and the top of the track has a light sheet steel cover, which is normally removed when operating in snow.
Accessories
The BMP-1KSH is equipped with radio set R-137, R-140M or R-145BM, each with four of five radios. In addition, the vehicle has also telephone equipment, telegraph communication system, ventilation, TNA-3 navigation system and diesel generator which has the capacity to power the communication equipment. The generator is fitted at the top rear of the hull. Small antennas are fitted at the rear side of the crew compartment. The BMP-1KSh is fully amphibious being propelled in the water by its tracks.
