COBI BWP-1 2in1 Polish/Ukrainian IFV | 1:35 Scale Military Bricks | Set #2630 (coming soon)

The Legacy of the BWP-1

A Revolution in Armored Warfare

The BWP-1 (the Polish designation for the Soviet BMP-1) represents a pivotal moment in military history. Introduced in the 1960s, it was the world’s first mass-produced infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). It bridged the gap between a simple armored personnel carrier and a light tank, allowing infantry to fight from within the vehicle under the protection of armor and NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) defenses.

Historical Engagements

The BWP-1 and its variants have seen action in nearly every major conflict of the last fifty years:

• The Yom Kippur War (1973): Its combat debut, where it showcased the power of the Sagger missile against armored formations.

• The Soviet-Afghan War: Utilized extensively for convoy protection in rugged mountainous terrain.

• Modern Conflicts: Today, the BWP-1 remains a frontline staple. This 2in1 set honors its ongoing legacy, providing markings for both the Polish Land Forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, highlighting its role in contemporary European defense and the defense of sovereignty.
