Iranian fighting vehicle Boragh

[Dmitry 83]

the creators of the BMP platform made such a reserve for modernization that we can say just well done, there were already so many different forms and the basis is the same

[mirag2]

I have a little corrected the words about the work of the creators of the BMP:
- Everything ingenious is simple.

[Malkor]

The author translated without modifications - the BMP-1 chassis calls the BTR chassis.

[oldkap22]

it’s time for our designers to work in this direction

[inkass_98]

Nothing new, almost all of these options are implemented to one degree or another in artisanal conditions in different parts of Asia and Africa. Everything depended on the "temperature" of the conflict and the handiwork of local craftsmen. Iran gathered everything in a heap and put (?) On the stream.

Nothing interesting, you're right, but not from a good life. There would be opportunities to purchase, probably they would take advantage. Itself something similar and better to make - does not work? Although the base of the Soviet BMP for use as a lightly armored self-propelled mortar, ZSU, etc. quite suitable. The UTD-20 fully ensured sufficient mobility to the machine, which is why German replacement is connected, possibly with the lack of components and spare parts.

[Dudu]

How to make a cart from the existing technique is not a problem. The problem is to design a machine that would work under any conditions. Here they have no designers of this level, just as there are no industrial facilities. We have to sculpt mutants whose performance is very problematic. Well, why hang an anti-aircraft gun on a caterpillar, because it should rotate? Easier for a truck - and more spacious, and cheaper in total costs. Well, there is a similar wretchedness of thought and the lack of elementary engineering literacy.

Yes, sell them the remaining kopecks on the cheap and let the Samodelkin club continue to work for the miracle with weapons. Yes - even the Berezhok in addition - let them scam.

[Kornilovets]

I agree how many more are in stocks, BMP - 1, BTR - 60. Sell at a low price, and invest money in modernization of the military-industrial complex.

[Professor]

I wonder how the Persians solved the problem of returning a 120-mm mortar, or is it how they use props for internal use?

Maybe they spied how this problem is solved on the m-113?

There is also not so simple hydraulics.

Even the Belarusians could not solve this problem, for export, with their alteration of MTLB-U, and your assistants-modernizers with MTLB for the army of Kazakhstan, with deformed plates until the tests were completed, due to poverty, we could only put a "tray" on MTLB, but military tests passed and in the bottom a minimum of changes.

[Aleksandr72]

Or maybe it's better to ask the Czechs how they were able to create a 1-mm self-propelled mortar PRAM-S based on the BMP-1 (the Czechoslovak version was called BVP-120).
Here it is in the photo (by the way, the mortar’s ammunition is 80 rounds (mine + charge). Not bad, is it?)

[prosto_rgb]

Perhaps a hatch was cut out between the rows of torsion bars, and instead of a cover, a support plate was attached under the bottom.
The solution is of course so-so, but it will work.

[the47th]

The original BMP-1 engine has been replaced; One possible candidate is a 8 hp German BF320L diesel engine, which Iran ordered 190 in 1996 (hence the minimum number of Boragh cars).

In my opinion, using the engines that they once bought in scanty amounts is not the best option. Where will they look for spare parts on them? Buy from Germany? Iran is a rogue country for Europe; Germans may not sell parts. In my opinion, using a Chinese or our engine would be better.

In general, this is BM Cobra but made using Boragh nodes.
122mm Raad-1 self-propelled gun based on it:

Features:
Weight: 17,5 tons
Speed: up to 65 km \ h
Crew: 4 person
Type and caliber of guns: 122-mm howitzer 2A31
Barrel length: 38 calibers
Firing Range: Up to 15,3 km with high-explosive shells
Vertical pointing angles: from −3 ° to 70 °
Horizontal pointing angles: 360 °
Gun ammunition: 40 shots
Rate of Fire: Up to 4-5 rounds per minute

[padded jacket]

I wrote a little unclear above, I correct: the 122-mm Raad-1 self-propelled guns are based on the Boragh armored personnel carrier.

BTR Boragh with a single-barrel 23-mm memory.

[31rus]

Yes, with engineering and a creative approach to the problem, PR was more than the real thing, I read about air defense, aviation (with Israel and especially the USA, this is death for Iran)

[padded jacket]

Israel alone will not dare to attack Iran paired with the United States.
And of course, Iran’s technology is approximately at the level of development in our country in the 80-90s of the last century, but it was excusable to him under sanctions since 1979 and despite this it was able not only to preserve the samples supplied by the West but also to develop something of its own .

[captain]

All countries that are armed with BMP-1, -2, are upgrading this successful machine. They strengthen armor protection, change old PCTs to digital ones, put different weapons, use this machine for various purposes, our coma.
