MLI-84M - Modernised Romanian BMP-1

Romanian and US forces have been practising together on a training ground in Romania. The MLI-84M1 - modernization of the BMP-1 fitted with a new Israeli OWS-25R overhead mount turret armed with 25x137mm Oerlikon KBA autocannon, two 9S415 ATGM launchers and a machine gun. It is also equipped with two banks of four 81 mm DLG 81 heat and smoke grenade launchers. Grenades leave a thermal curtain of fire around the vehicle for about five minutes, to confuse enemy missiles. MLI-84M1 vehicle also has a system that can disperse dense smoke over a radius of 360 degrees around the vehicle and at a distance between 300–400 metres (980–1,310 ft). Because mounting of the new turret increased the weight of the vehicle to 17.6 tonnes, a new more powerful engine was fitted. The Romanian Ministry of Defense spent over 155 million dollars to upgrade 99 vehicles.
