BPzV Svatava

The BPzV Svatava combat reconnaissance vehicle is an amphibious reconnaissance vehicle designed to conduct independent reconnaissance or combat operations behind enemy lines.

In the right front part of the vehicle there is a gearbox, behind which the UTD-20 engine is located. Behind the engine and driver compartment, in the central part of the vehicle, is a single-seat fully rotatable turret, which houses the main and auxiliary armament. At the rear of the vehicle is the operator's compartment, which is divided into a scout-radar operator's station (right half of the vehicle), a scout-navigator's station (left half behind the fighting compartment), and a scout-operator's station (left rear half of the vehicle).

The main armament consists of a 2A28 73 mm calibre cannon with a supply of 76 PG-15V rounds. The weapon allows destroying enemy armoured vehicles, self-propelled artillery, firing vehicles in fortified objects, etc. The gun is coupled with a PKT machine gun designed to silence "soft targets" up to 1,000 m away. The machine gun carries 3,500 rounds of ammunition. The anti-tank armament consists of the 9K11 Malyutka anti-tank missile set with an effective range of 500 to 3,000 m. BPzV carries a total of 7 9M14 missiles.
The crew's armament, in addition to personal weapons, consists of four RPG-75 armoured rifles and twelve hand grenades.

The reconnaissance equipment consists of a passive night observation device NNP-21, a radar PSNR-5 (range on tanks and OT - 8,000 to 10,000 m; range on persons - 3,000 to 4,000 km, continuous operation - 20 hours), a radar searcher MRP-4, etc. The crew has at its disposal a TNA-3 navigation ignition system. The AB-1-P/30M1 generator is used as a source of electric power. The equipment also includes means of engineer and chemical reconnaissance (CHP-71 chemical indicator, IT-65 intensimeter, W4P mini-searchlight, ...).

The communications equipment consists of R-130MT and R-132M radios, R-124 tank-caller, two portable radios, two TP-25 field telephones and R-012T selective call equipment.

The rear of the turret houses a 902S six-shot smoke grenade launcher. It has a calibre of 81 mm and a range of 200 to 350 m. It can lay a smoke screen 80 m wide and 5 m high. The duration of the screen is 100 to 145 seconds.

As of 31 December 1997, a total of 129 BPzV Svatava vehicles were in the armament of the Army.

History of the creation


The issue of developing a new reconnaissance vehicle was taken up by the CSLN command in the early 1980s, based on knowledge gained from army and divisional tactical exercises conducted between 1977 and 1981.


It became apparent that the armoured personnel carriers OT-65 in use were no longer able to fully meet the requirements set for conducting reconnaissance by day and night due to their low manoeuvrability, terrain penetration and inadequate armament. The BVP-1, which were partially put into service as replacements, did meet the required parameters in terms of combat characteristics and high ground clearance, but in terms of reconnaissance they were not equipped with an extended communications node or with the basic observation and special instruments for the performance of complex military reconnaissance tasks.


At the end of April 1983, the MNO, through the Ministry of General Engineering, requested Konstrukty Trenčín to prepare a type-specific scientific and technical analysis for the development of a combat reconnaissance vehicle built on the BVP-1 chassis. After more than half a year of work, its results were discussed and approved by the MNO Opposition Council. Work on the project started at Konstrukte Trenčín. At the end of November 1984 it was approved. The vehicle BVP-1K was used to build the prototype under the codename Svatava. The work started in February 1985, while the production of details for the complete command turret with the laser rangefinder, including assembly, was provided by VÚ-010/02 Doksy. The laser rangefinder and SDIO system kits were supplied by VÚ-060 Praha. The production of the prototype in Konstrukt Trenčín was completed in July 1985. The weapon system of the prototype consisted of a 73 mm cannon 2A28 with a smoothbore barrel and a 7.62 mm machine gun PKT coupled to it. The system was further complemented by a launcher for the PTRS 9M14M/Malyutka. In addition, the vehicle was equipped with a 902S smoke grenade launcher of 81 mm caliber, night observation NNP-21, radar PSNR-5, MRP-4 radar searchlight, TNA-3 navigation equipment and chemical reconnaissance equipment. In July-September 1985, the Svatava prototype vehicle was subjected to combined company and inspection trials.


In the course of these trials, in addition to a general examination of the components intended to ensure reconnaissance activities, the driving and navigation characteristics of the prototype were also verified. They showed that after adding hydraulic shock absorbers to the second pair of suspension wheels of the travelling wheels, the smoothness of driving in the terrain was significantly improved compared to the BVP-1. The flotation characteristics of the Svatava prototype compared to the BVP-1 remained the same. However, the increase in the volume of the fuel tanks significantly increased the range, by more than 150 km. On the basis of the trials, the test committee, after eliminating the defects, recommended to hand over the prototype for military trials. They were carried out at VÚ-3288 Podbořany. During the tests, malfunctions occurred on the laser rangefinder and the control panel of the laser rangefinder. Furthermore, it turned out that the external cabling was not sufficiently protected against flammable substances and water penetration. On the basis of these facts, VÚ-010/02 Doksy drew up a plan for the implementation of the modifications. The modification of the prototype was carried out by Konštrukta Trenčín by April 1987. By order of the Ministry of Defence, VÚ-010/02 Doksy, in cooperation with Konstrukta Trenčín, was assigned the task of carrying out additional control tests with the Svatava vehicle. Konstrukta Trenčín handed over the modified Svatava prototype for additional control tests. They took place during June-October 1987. During these tests, there were shortcomings in the rectification of the observation instruments. Nevertheless, the objective of the tests was fulfilled and the commission recommended that the Svatava object be introduced into the armament of the CSRL.


The production was entrusted to ZŤS Detva. Between 1988 and 1990, 200 vehicles were produced. In the early 1990s, 16 units were purchased by the Polish Army, which introduced them into its armament under the designation BWP-1S /Bojowy wóz rozpoznawczy-1 Swatawa/. In the Czechoslovak People's Republic, BPsV Swatawa were organizationally incorporated into the armament of reconnaissance companies of motorized artillery and tank regiments and reconnaissance battalions of motorized artillery and tank divisions. From 1990 to 1993 they formed the armament of reconnaissance units of tank and mechanised divisions.

a Comment to the image Svatava.jpg:
Right next to the turret on the ceiling armor is "coterie" to control the flaps of the exhaust nozzle heaters – reason for its relocation from the vehicle floor to the ceiling armor is the location of the brackets increased stocks of ammunition for the main armament of the vehicle to the right of the tower (with BVP-1 is there free space). the Mechanism control the throttle the exhaust has not changed – enable the nut to compress the whole "handle" and twist, then "run" heater,..., the driver, however, appreciated better access (for BVP-1 had to spin the tower and stretching into the corner of the motor bulkhead and the right sidewall of the vehicle) and therefore they were willing to use the "bufík" more often and thus conserve the engines of vehicles.
Towards the poop is to see the "catch on anything" and the tube on the fastening of the float and hemp rope for boating (the same as on the turret, the driver to it with the likes shoving "high-rise").
On both sides of the towers are placed "universal brackets" for fixing technical means of the survey – specifically, the radar PSNR-5 and night observation devices NNP-21. The brackets in the normal operation of the obscured plachtovinovými coatings with a fastening drawstring.

a Comment to the image Svatava (1).jpg:
The turret commander is over his viewing device TKN-3B (under the cages) placed the Head of the laser range finder (BI-S) (in the cage on the right closer to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle) together with the lamp OU-3GA-2 (in the cage on the left closer to the left sidewall of the vehicle). These devices are coupled and apart from the turrets of the commander of the BVP-1 is controlled by náměrovým and odměrovým řídidlem.
The cage is in normal operation covered plachtovinovým coated with the retaining tkanicemi.

a Comment to the image Svatava (2).jpg:
the Left "universal mount" and on the ceiling of the tower next to the left corner of the periscope gunner-operator screw cover grommet for stretching the power cord, night observation devices NNP-21 (the connection to the onboard network via the connector "portables" in the tower).
Cable in a metal braid, leading to the "universal mounting bracket" not for power, but to connect the end-switch on the bracket with the control box zadýmovacího device 902-S (throwers dýmových grenades) – if it was on a holder (left or right) is "full", limit switch disabled from the operation of the right or left half of the "battery" dýmových-thrower system 902-S.

a Comment to the image Svatava (3).jpg:
On the edge of the ceiling of armour is anchored to the folded telescoping antenna mast, the image is seen anchoring elements of its individual parts and cover the nut. The antenna cable had to be into the mast insert still in the horizontal position. This part of the mast was in normal operation covered by plachtovinovým coated with a fastening drawstring.

a Comment to the image Svatava (4).jpg:
On the right and left edge of the contact of the ceiling and side armor are placed on the sensing elements HDO system SDIO (system of detection and indication of laser irradiation) under the cylindrical steel-plated covers.
Each of these blocks HDO brings together a total of four sensors: front (both HDO), rear (both HDO), upper (both HDO) and left or right (HDO left or right).
System SDIO is controlled from the commander's station of the vehicle and has two kinds of yield (indications) the exposure – acoustic, sounder into the headphones EEZ members of the crew and visually at the commander's station of the vehicle, where the light on one of the eight LEDS on the control panel of the onboard computer and laser range finder (eight leds corresponds to the eight sensors and eight presses of the detection, while only the commander get into headphones its cocoon acoustic signal).
In normal operation, were both HDO covers plachtovinovým coated with a fastening drawstring.

a Comment to the image Svatava (5).jpg:
Habitat explorer-radio operators and most of its coupling of the kingdom (in addition to the stations of R-123 and R-130).

a Comment to the image Svatava (6).jpg:
Fuel tank is shortened (from the rear of the vehicle) and extended (doesn't have sloping sides like the BVP-1, but it is a classic "box" of width and the necessity of its elongation through the opening of the "door" of the swarm)
Above accumulators is stored generator about the performance of 3kW for charging the on-board network of the vehicle (unfortunately, the only thing she couldn't recharge the sources of radar equipment PSNR-5).
On the slide is to see the starter cord and the cylinder head with a candle ignition.
Over central the fuel tank with a filling opening, the exhaust was connected tubular pipe in braid of asbestos string in the "little house" on the ceiling armor close telescopic antenna mast.

a Comment to the image Svatava (7).jpg:
The fuel system of the vehicle has increased volume, it is also seen on both rear doors (pictured to the door of the habitat explorer-radio operators).
The clamps on the door to strengthen bolt cutters, a bag on the hood (above the door handle of the door) is removed.

a Comment to the image Svatava (8).jpg:
Back at the tower the battery is installed a total of six-thrower zadýmovacích shells system 902-S.
On the left "universal bracket" the tower is seen limit switch and the cable, connecting it with the system 902-S....
On the "crests of the swarm" are fastening belts on the tarp, camouflage net and possibly even on the bags with personal belongings of the crew – inside the vehicle because, due to the volume of vezeného material with an emphasis on the technical means of exploration, too much space left.
Under the right front "elytra" was stored block P-02 radar PSNR-5, in the "crests" was then bushing (respectively mnohakolíkový connector) for connecting the radar to the onboard network of the vehicle (if the block P-02 is operated to the "universal bracket").

a Comment to the image Svatava (9).jpg:
Between the rear "the elytra of the swarm" is to see "house" exhaust generator with cover-nut – with screws flexible steel exhaust, which, after burying the end part of the care of the significant silent operation headquarters (unless, of course, not open the door to swarms...).
Exhaust was in the marching position of the fixed on the outside of the left side armor (above the log for the rescue), in the operation of power didn't last and soon enough was running through.... – it's just an ordinary armoured twisted hose.
to the Right of the radistových periskopů is to see armored "house" with connectors for the connection of the wires (need to field phones, etc...).
On the "crests of the swarm" are the above-mentioned retaining strips (on anything)..

Systém 902-S


Určení:
The 902-S system is used to camouflage the BPzV and its maneuver by creating a smoke screen using smoke grenades. The purpose of smoke masking the vehicle may be simply to make observation more difficult, to use optical means of observation, and (possibly) to mask against laser designators and markers.


Basic TTD of the 902-S system:
- Number of smoke grenade launchers .......... 6 pcs.
- Length of the launcher .......... 270 mm
- thrower calibre .......... 81 mm
- weight of smoke grenade launcher .......... 3600 g (single launcher)
- charging of throwers .......... manually
- discharging of the launchers .......... by hand, by a shaker
- average range for any specified combination of launches .......... 200 - 350 m
- time of creating a smoke screen when firing six smoke grenades (salvo) .......... 100 - 145 sec
- width of smoke screen when firing six smoke grenades (salvo) .......... 80 m
- height٭ smoke screen after 10 sec minimum .......... 5 m
- height of smoke screen after 130 sec minimum .......... 28 m
٭parameters set for a surface wind speed of 2-5 m/sec
- lifetime of smoke grenade launcher .......... 200 shots
- means of initiating the ejection charge - electric match screw .......... EKV-30 M2A
- EKV initiation current max. .......... 50mA
- power supply .......... vehicle on-board network
- operating voltage.......... 22 - 29 V
- firing diameter .......... 6 pcs
Dýmový granát:
- Type .......... 3D6
- calibre .......... 81 mm
- length .......... 220 mm
- weight .......... 2400 g
- temperature range allowing use .......... -40°C - +50°C

Composition and placement of the 902-S system kit in BPzV:
- The base is welded on the outer surface of the rear of the turret and is used to mount the smoke grenade launchers
- 6 smoke grenade launchers are mounted on the base and are used to transport and sweep the smoke grenades in a designated direction to create a camouflage smoke screen
- the control console* is located in the tower on the left side at the gunner-operator's position above the level of the ball track of the tower turret and is used to control the launching/firing circuit, to set the order (individually from right to left or left to right) and firing mode (volley - 6 grenades, volley - two grenades each) of smoke grenades
- the smoke grenade set consists of 6 smoke grenades placed and transported in smoke grenade launchers
- The spare parts kit (ZIP) consists of components to ensure the operational capability of the 902-S system designed to power the radar when operating outside the vehicle without connection to its on-board network
*In addition to the above functions, the control panel also provides interlocking of individual smoke grenade launchers in the following situations (limit switches on/off):
- opening (not opening) of the operator's firing port .......... all 6 smoke grenade launchers blocked
- mounting of the technical means of reconnaissance (the NNP-21) on the universal bracket on the left side of the turret .......... 3 left smoke grenade launchers blocked
- mounting of technical means of reconnaissance (P-01 radar block PSNR-5) on the universal bracket on the right side of the tower .......... 3 right smoke grenade launchers blocked


Myth Debunking #1:
If anyone imagines (thinks, has heard, etc.) that in addition to smoke grenades, "shrapnel" or "anti-personnel" grenades were also included in the equipment of the BPzV to destroy the enemy's live force in a situation where he would approach at close range, I assure him that this was and is not true (although I cannot rule out that something like this could not have been considered)...
Debunking Myth #2:
The 902-S system in the BPzV is not connected to the laser beam detection and indication (SDIO) system, but can be used in conjunction with its signals to create a smoke screen in the direction from which the vehicle's laser exposure (sight, marker) is indicated.

As far as the delivery of BPzV Svatava to Poland is concerned, 16 BPzVs were delivered, they were (among other units) mainly assigned to 18.pzpr 16. (Pomeranian) mechanized division (Elblag base) and 2.pzp (Hrubieszow base).
In the Polish armed forces, the BPzV Swatawa was designated BWR-1S (Bojowy wóz rozpoznawczy 1 Swatawa).
The unit where I served had Polish officers "on internship", it was a pretty tough month for us (and for them)...
Although the picture shows the Swatawa without any recognition markings, there is something on the Tatra, which is visible in the background, that reminds me of the emblem of the former East German NVA.
The "strange green" colour on the Svatava would also correspond to this, but this must be considered as mere conjecture, as no other evidence of Svatavas being delivered to the GDR is available to me. Maybe tests????

I found only one photo that looks like an "in action" photo for the assignment of BPzV Svatava (aka BWP-1S) to the reconnaissance units of the Polish Armed Forces.
However, it should be taken into account that this is most likely a "posed shot" - on the right universal mount on the turret is set the P-01 radar block PSNR-5, while in front of the vehicle there is a "barrier" of mature trees, the gun is in elevation, etc., ...

End without fanfare

After 2003, only the operator of the vehicle BPzV Svatava in the ranks of the Army of the Czech republic has become a Tough reconnaissance platoon from the assembly 102. the recon battalion. This unit also became their final user, because in December 2009 it was from his use of scrapped all 12 pieces of BPzV. A temporary substitute for Svatavy became infantry fighting vehicles BMP-2, which was chosen because of unification of chassis platform with the technique 7. mechanized brigade (71. and 72. mechanized battalion and 73. tank battalion, which has in its ranks one mechanized company to BMP-2). Between the years 2012 to 2014 was scheduled to rearm 102. the recon battalion "recon" version of the vehicle LMV (additionally equipped with HUNTING for 50 B), which replaced the initially operating BMP-2.

"To disable BPzV Svatava joined mainly because that the vehicle is built on the chassis BVP-1 and armed with a 73mm cannon. The vehicles also occurred to moral obsolescence of certain surveillance systems and close to reaching the limits of their technical life."
(approx. MS - BMP-2 operated by the 102. rba was the standard version and didn't have any special exploration equipment, extra compared to Svatavám not much later)

Could someone write how the HLD-S rangefinder worked?

The HLD-S control panel is also connected to the SDIO system. It is possible to enter your own position (coordinates), target position, set the so-called measurement gate roughly - using the keyboard, finely using the toggle switch, from 200m to some 14000m and something, perform your own system and display test (7-segment display), can print fault, signals rangefinder readiness, determines the direction of irradiation, functionality of the right and left indicator head.
The rangefinder itself is controllable with dials, and the whole turret of the commander has quite a significantly limited measurement, turning around is not possible, due to the length of the rangefinder cable, the elevation is the same as with the BVP-1.
