PRP-3 Wal ( GRAY index: 1ЖЗ - product 767) is the abbreviation for a special version for a command staff vehicle (KSchM) of the missile troops and artillery for reconnaissance, identification and target assignment, which was used in the Soviet Army from 1970 to 1991. The Russian name is: p odwischnyi r aswetywatelnyi p unkt / mobile reconnaissance post. From 1984 the successor model PRP-4 Nard was added to the troops.

Development history

The decision to implement the armament project was made in accordance with the ruling of July 1, 1963. The BMP-1 armored personnel carrier was specified as the base vehicle . In 1970 the project became operational and was introduced into the field of missile troops and artillery of the Soviet land forces.

The tractor factory in Chelyabinsk (tank production division) was commissioned with series production.
