History[ | ]
Class: Airborne Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Developed: 1964-1967
Service: 1968+
Vehicles Built: 3800
Operators: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and several other post-Soviet countries
This Soviet-designed infantry fighting vehicle was created for the VDV (airborne) divisions of the Soviet Army as a lightweight alternative to the BMP-1, providing the same level of firepower at a considerably lower weight, making it deployable by parachute. Manufactured between 1968 and 1987, the BMD-1 entered service is still in use to this day, although most attempts to deploy it in modern conflicts have resulted in heavy losses. The BMD-1 is simply too fragile. In Russian service, it was mostly replaced by the BMD-2 and its successors. Iraq purchased an unknown amount of these vehicles in 1981 (estimates vary between 10 and 50) and they all went to the elite Republican Guard units. All were lost during Operation Desert Storm.
