Boragh

The Boragh is Iranian-made armoured personnel carrier. Boragh is believed to be a reverse engineered and upgraded model of the BMP-1. The upgrades include a reduction in weight, a higher road speed, and stronger armor. The vehicle is fully amphibious and is fitted with an NBC protection system and infra-red night vision equipment.

It was reported in early May 2002, that three additional variants are produced by the Vehicle and Equipment Group (VEIG) of the Iranian Defence Industries Organisation (DIO). These are a 120mm mortar carrier, an ammunition resupply vehicle, and an APC fitted with improved armaments.
