NEW PICTURES!
Wow.
Every now and then some amazing deals come along, the
problem is they are snapped up amazingly quick.
Hats the
difference? basically the weapon, nearly everything
else is identical. The Czechs spent daft amounts of
money overhauling all there OT90's, 225,000 euro's on
each, then due to them looking west disposed of them.
Absolutely mad I know, but hey. They are now available
for second hand car money, to drive they are amazing
fun. Inside everything is new, right down to the wax
paper around the lights, exhaust ports etc.
You
can compare the BMP-OT90, I suppose to our FV432, but are not
prone to bending rear idler wheels like they are. You ask anyone who
operates a FV432, and if he's honest. He'll say for
every one hour of use, you spend on average 3 hours
maintenance. BMP's or BVP's (Czech version) are easier
to maintain. In effect you are buying a newly refurbished
tracked
APV.
Please
don't ask for BMP-2's, Yes I can get them, but you will
need to sell your house first. Tanks or APC's are bought
in bundles by countries and there first concerned besides
condition is the weapon. The OT-90 has better ride qualities,
shock absorbers are fitted on both the first and second
track wheels compared to only one on the BMP1/2.
HISTORY
Developed
in the early 1960's to replace the aging BTR 50P's.
Launched in 1967, they caused quite a stir. Fitted
with 73mm low velocity magazine fed cannon. This unfortunately
wasn't as effective as it looked, and was replaced on
the later BMP-2.
There
are loads of BMP variants, they were the main
fighting unit in the Iran-Iraq war, along with of course
Afghanistan, Chad and Angola.
The
track design will enable conversion to rubber track,
but it won't be cheap. Estimate another £8k. Unfortunately
its not like fitting a tyre, each track has to be drilled
and reverse recessed, but once done. With that big cannon,
this toy would look quite impressive driving down Oxford Street.
