what is a Bmp-1A1????????????????????????????????????????????:

Re: Worlds Armed Forces Pics III

It's a modification done to former East German BMP-1s to bring them closer to western standards. It includes the fitting of no-slip pads on the hull, boarding ladder, lights and rear view mirrors identical to those of the Marder, plus the typical Bundeswehr night driving "convoy" shield. The Hellenic Army received 500 of these and at least 100 were donated to Iraq. A Greek modification was the fitting of a cradle on the turret for a M2HB HMG and the turret hatch now swings to the side instead of opening upwards to the front. The gun cradle was removed prior to shipment to Iraq, but the hatch configuration was not changed back to the original.
Hope this answers your question,
Costas.
