The BP-1 is a Soviet WWII armored car that was built in 1941.

Originally, the wagon was armed with a 76.2 mm caliber gun, but in the course of renovation, the gun was dismantled and replaced with two towers from T-26 tanks mod. 1933. It can be assumed that each of them was armed with a 45mm cannon. The additional armament of the wagon consisted of 7.62 mm DT machine guns. It is worth adding that the wagon was built on a two-axle platform with a load capacity of up to 20 tons. The BP-1 armored car was used in combat at the turn of 1941/1942, including during the Battle of Moscow in 1941.
