The PBV-501 Panzer ammunition is a modified version of the BMP-1.
As the Russia-Ukraine war continues, Germany has extended its hand to help Ukrainians. They have given their consent for Ukraine to obtain a variety of weapons and armaments. The PBV-501 ammunition is well-known.
What Is The PBV-501 Panzer?
The PBV-501 panzer does not have any information in Wikipedia. It is, however, a modified variation of BMP-1, according to one source.
The BMP-1 is an amphibious tracked infantry fighting vehicle developed by the Soviet Union. “First serial model infantry fighting vehicle,” as Boyevaya Mashina Pyekhoty 1 literally translates.
The BMP-1 was the Soviet Union’s first mass-produced infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). NATO assigned it the designations M-1967, BMP, and BMP-76PB until its true name was discovered.
According to a Reddit user, East German BMP-1s and MT-LBs were purchased after the fall of the Soviet Union to cheaply mechanise some brigades that were still depending on trucks. After a few years, when the Swedish army began to shrink, they were eventually discarded.
PBV-501 Panzer ammunition is supplied by Germany to Ukraine
The Federal Security Council has approved another shipment of ammunition to the Ukrainian army. As a result, Ukraine will get 56 infantry fighting vehicles from the German Democratic Republic’s National People’s Army.
Germany has given its approval for more arms to be delivered to the Ukrainian army. According to sources, German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht gave her approval.
The order covers 58 infantry fighting vehicles that were previously owned by the GDR’s National People’s Army. A Czech company owns the armoured personnel carriers and wants to transfer them to Ukraine. The necessary consent of Germany has finally been acquired.
The PBV-501 armoured personnel vehicles were standard issue to the Warsaw Pact military and were equipped with cannons and machine guns. Following Germany’s reunification, the tanks were transferred to the Bundeswehr, and eventually to the Swedish army near the end of the 1990s.
