ABAL
Notes: This vehicle is called by the Romanians an "Armored Vehicle for Combat Supply." It is a BMP-1 chassis with a large open cargo area in the rear, no turret, and large stowage bins on the sides of the vehicle. These stowage bins may carry up to 16 rounds of 100mm ammunition or 26 rounds of 73mm ammunition, or that weight equivalent (about 400 kg of the total cargo capacity) for ease of access by tank and IFV crews. The ABAL is normally used for ammunition resupply, though other cargo may be carried. The ABAL also carries a Geiger counter and extra fire extinguishers, as well as long-range radios.

MLI-84
Notes: This version of the BMP-1 is used by Romania. It is basically a stock BMP-1 with a lengthened hull, and a DShK machinegun mounted on the roof near the rear of the vehicle, for use by passengers. There is also a newer version of the MLI-84, which has its turret replaced with one mounting a 25mm KBA autocannon and a Yugoslavian Maljutka ATGM instead of the AT-3 Sagger, as well as two banks of four smoke grenade launchers. This newer version was just being fielded in 1997 and is relatively rare. These vehicles have a more powerful 360 hp engine.
Twilight/Merc 2000 Notes: Only the 73mm-armed version of the MLI-84 exists.
