Armoured Infantry Battle and Reconnaissance Vehicle BPzV
Constructed on the carriage of a BVP (also known as BMP), it is designed for conducting detached reconnaissance or combat activities in enemy rear areas.
The major difference to the BVP (BMP) is in its eight-barrel launching device 902S, mounted on the back side of the turret, which enables the throwing of smoke grenades. The compartment for operators is divided into workplaces of radio operator, navigator and reconnaissance operator. In addition to the weapons and protection systems of the basic BVP-1 (BMP-1), the BPzV vehicle is equipped with PSNR-5 radar.
