BMD-1 (Airborne combat vehicle) created specifically for use in airborne troops. It was put into service in 1969 g. and could parachute landing parachute or manner with AN-12 aircraft. The layout of the machine has been designed taking into account more effectively receiving the shooters. The housing can be divided into three parts: office management, central and power pack, located in the aft. MTO over nadgusenichnye niches constitute the tunnel, leading to the aft hatch.

For the welding of the body armor used aluminum alloy, tower was made of steel armor. Frontal sheets were capable of withstanding 12.7 mm bullets. The bow of the observed narrowing, but because of its cross-section had a T-shape with the developed nadgusenichnyh niches. The car was equipped with a collective system of protection against weapons of mass destruction, consisting of a solid and sealed construction hull and turret, Device GO-27 radiation and chemical reconnaissance, Equipment for filtering, Engine stop engine and exhaust ventilation systems. Besides, on BMD-1 installed fire-fighting equipment, automatic installation comprising thermoelements system with PPO, are in MTO, and manual fire extinguishers OU-2.

Device
BMD-1 is equipped with a V-shaped six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine 5D-20 liquid cooling. air supply system of the intake device characterized, comprising two kinematically associated valve, which alternately overlap the outside air intake BMD-1 and of the crew compartment. This measure significantly increases driving safety afloat. Besides, during the cold season is carried out heating the engine intake air. The ejection cooling system ensures dust suction of the air and ventilation MTO. There is also a mechanism for automatic motor protection action against ingress of water, which prevents the liquid in the cylinders of a diesel engine when it is stopped while overcoming obstacles or aqueous wash.
Running gear mechanical transmission comprises, consisting of a single-disc dry clutch friction, simple transmission (4 front and 1 reversing), as well as 5 support and 4 support rollers on each side. Individual hydropneumatic suspension consists of 10 air springs. Drive wheels at the rear, and guides - ahead. Steel melkozvenchatye caterpillars are tensioned by a tension mechanism with a crank electrohydraulic. Machine movement through the water by means of the jet propulsion unit, which consists of two water jets with shutters. Pumping is done with the aid of two pumps with motors.
The main armament of the BMD-1 in the same, and how the BMP-1, - 73 mm 2A28 Grom smoothbore gun with concentric recoil device, located in a single welded rotating turret. Ammunition gun up 40 shots, placed on a rotating conveyor and fed to the loading line by means of electric drive. It uses electric and manual actuators guidance. With gun paired 7.62mm gun PKT. Machine-gun ammunition up 4000 rounds. On the tower is mounted launcher bracket 9M14M ATGM "Baby", management of which is made from the inside of the machine.
BMD-1 is equipped with a combined sight 1PN22M1, six periscopes TNPO-170, two periscopic heated vision devices TNPP-220, binocular periscope wireless device TVNE-4, periscopes MK-4C. The machine is also equipped with a radio R-123 and R-124 TPU five subscribers.
On the basis of BMD-1 is designed floating BTR-D, which is transported parachute and parachute-reactive methods, and is intended to transport personnel, in particular, wounded, as well as weapons, ammunition, lubricants, etc.. P.
