The newest vehicle in the collection of the GRYF Military Technology Museum. BWP-1 (Russian: боевая машина пехоты) produced in 1973. A copy with a very interesting history of service in the Polish Army. The vehicle’s documentation shows that for almost 40 years of operation, it was used in at least 7 military units, including: the 25th Reconnaissance Battalion in Międzyrzecz, the 25th Nysa Mechanized Regiment in Opole, the 8th Dresden Medium Tank Regiment in Żagań, the 34th Armored Cavalry Brigade in Żagań, the 42nd Regiment Mechanized in Żary, which was transformed into the 11th Mechanized Brigade in Żary, to end its military service again in Międzyrzecz, where it started, but this time in the 17th Greater Poland Mechanized Brigade.
We express our heartfelt thanks to the Ministry of National Defense, which donated the vehicle to the collections of MTW Gryf in Dąbrówka free of charge.
