The reason Sweden got the bmp1 was bc after the fall of east Germany the Bundeswehr sold several BMPs in the 90s

[@Sabrowsky]

So basically this is 90s Swedish armour fighting tanks from the 40s?

[@frankpolly]

I thought it was Czechia who sold them to Sweden and then Sweden sold them back in something like 2004 and what remained in Czech stockpile in 2022 was send to Ukraine. edit: bought from germany, send to Czechia to be modified for sweden, send to Sweden, sold back to czechia and then sold to Iraq.

In response to your question at 3:35, Sweden first bought some previouslt east german MTLBs for use as troop transport, the amount bought did not satisfy the need for troop transport so we utilised the possiblity to test some BMP-1s through the deal to buy MTLBs, so in 1994 4 BMP-1s were bought for testing purposes and one for firing tests, the test results were so positive that by june 1994 it was decided to buy 350 BMP-1s along with an extra 83 for spare parts. Before they could be delivered they had to go through rather extensive repairs, which were done by a czechian factory, which delivered 12 BMPs per month between 1996 and 2001. By 2005 the choice was made to decommision the BMPs and in 2010 they were fully decommisioned as the factory that repaired them bought them back and sold them to Iraq. Fun fact: the BMPs were initially bought in for the northern infantry regiments but when delivered and saw some actual use their abiity to traverse snow covered terrain was so bad it was decided the northern regiments were to swap their BMPs with the southern regiments MTLBS.

[@squidy4082]

Why’d they get rid of them? Just outdated ?

[@blind8305]

@@squidy4082 The entire Swedish military and civil defence saw massive cutbacks in budgets and size through the 2000's and early 2010's. They simply could not afford to keep them and many of the regiments the vehicles were a part of had been shut down or sized down so much there were not enough soldiers to crew the vehicles.

1:34 GYATT DAAAAAAMM AWOOOOOGA BMP-1 IS CHEEKED UP GYAAAAAAT

[@Loketairsoft]

@Spookston Actually its not BMP-1, but BVP-1, which is licensed copy build in Czechoslovakia. A lot of Warsaw pact countires choosed to buy armor from Czechoslovakia, instead of Soviet Union, because of the higher quality of the final product. The story of Pbv501 starts in 1994, when Sweden decided to buy former East German BVP-1s, build in Czechoslovakia and in 1996 those vehicles were transfered bach to Czechia for modernisation and upgrade. Czech company VOP-026 modernised 350 of BVP-1s. Malyutka ATGM was removed, instaled was new fireextingushing system, interior was modernised and parts with asbestos were removed, the same as fuel tanks in back doors. Modernisation was done in 1997-2001. Pbv 501 were withdrawn from active service in 2008 and in the same year all those vehicles were bought back by Czech company VOP-026 and stored and used for some technoloigical demonstrators like MGC-1 APC or MGC-1 with DVK-30 turret with 30mm autocannon. At the begining of 2015, Czechia transfered 280 of those vehicles to Iraq as miliary aid to help fight Islamic State and fought even furing Battle of Mosul. In February 2022 56 of those vehicles were transfered to Ukraine as part of Czech military aid and becouse those were originaly German vehicles, it needed to be approved by German government.

[@SunsetSlot]

Attempt 21 Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.

[@Youtbeisass]

Achually T-90 counterpart is BMP-3 ☝️🤓

[@TheGamingGopnik]

3:34 I'm pretty sure Sweden bought some of the Czech modified bmp-1s and that's what we have in game and how Sweden managed to get ahold of bmps, outside of the lack of a missile there are some other slight differences but nothing too terribly important to note outside of them technically being Czech bmps.

If your mouse has a scroll wheel click option I highly recommend rebinding scouting to that. Separates the commands so you don't flashbang the audience but also allows you to spot a bit easier/quicker since you barely have to move your finger.
