Requirements: .PDF reader, 15.9 MB
Overview: Production of armored personnel carriers began in the USSR only after the Second World War. In place of the firstborns, BTR-40 armored personnel carriers and BTR-152 armored personnel carriers, in the early 1960s, “centipedes” or “eight-wheelers” arrived – armored personnel carriers with the wheel formula 4×4. For more than 50 years these armored personnel carriers, constantly improving, consisted and are in service with the Soviet and Russian armies, being the basis of the fleet of combat vehicles of the Ground Forces. The main constructive feature that unites the family of BTR-60, BTR-70 and BTR-80 and distinguishes them from a number of similar foreign cars, is the ability to swim. But, ironically, just this ability was the least in demand in the endless series of wars and military conflicts in which the domestic wheeled armored personnel carriers had to participate. Afghanistan and the North Caucasus, the Middle East and Africa, Vietnam and Cuba – everywhere the Soviet “eight-wheelers” honestly pulled a soldier’s strap, deserving love and respect in the armies of many countries of the world.
