In the Russo-Ukrainian War, thousands of BTRs have been deployed and destroyed. Having already been often sighted within conflicts even as far as Afghanistan, Cuba, Egypt, and Iran during the Cold War, here we describe their various technical designs, how they have been continuously tinkered with, and their intended purposes. Beginning with the BTR-60 not long after World War II, and exploring their unusual amphibious capabilities, we conclude with the latest formidable BTR-82A and their impacts on the battle-zones.

    • There have been lots of cases where troops were run over trying to egress. The side door is a dumb design because it also creates weakness in the armour and the only reason for this is because it is cheaper and easier to maintain the engine if it is in the rear.

    • @@ingetout I wonder why they didn't try a boxer configuration engine in these and put it in the floor at the rear; that would provide the rear engine placement while also letting them make the crew compartment over top of it and having a rear exit door, although I guess it would be a little taller but I think that would be worth the maintenance/protection issues of placing the engine compartment in the front of the vehicle.

  • Despite how well known the BTR and other Soviet weapons are, the BTR-60/70/80's main armament: the KPVT heavy machine gun (KPV in its standard configuration) seems to get ignored. HMGs like the M2, DshK, and KORD are venerated for their 50 BMG/12.7x108 firepower, but the KPV fires the 14.5x114mm cartridge (the same used in the WWII PTRD and PTRS-41 anti-tank rifles) at 600rpm with 40rd belts (KPVT has unique 50rd belts). For the BTR this is serious firepower that outclasses the defensive capabilities of its own frontal armor, and could theoretically make short work of similarly matched IFVs, concrete structures, and anything in its effective engagement range. The KPV is probably outdated compared to modern 20-30mm auto cannons, but must have been formidable in the mid 20th century. Note: Edited to correct technical mistakes.

  • Great video! Two things to mention though. 1. The BTR-50 was also a thing. The only BTR to use tracks, it was based on the PT-76 light tank and saw lots of use both with the USSR and export countries, some of which still use it in modified versions as IFVs or other roles. 2. Ukraine has developed several of their own Wheeled BTR vehicles, though in limited numbers. These include the BTR-7 (an upgrade package to the BTR-70), BTR-3 (all new and highly successful), BTR-4 (similar to BTR-3), BTR-94 (BTR-80 with a new weapon station, export only), and the Otaman (BTR-based, but massively upgraded and overhauled, 6x6 or 8x8).

  • БТР-50? Ukraine has developed an upgrade of the BTR-50 in 2019. 1 Replaced engine 240 to 400 horses and gearbox 2 A combat module with a 30mm cannon and an anti-tank missile system are installed. (From the BTR-4, this is already the modern, newest armored personnel carrier) 3 Slightly improve ballistic protection by installing screens in front of the caterpillar Yes, the tracked BTR-50 is the only one of the entire line of armored personnel carriers that is not on wheels. Any armor is better than its absence, and if this armor also knows how to swim, then it opens up great prospects. The modification was developed for the export of the upgrade service, but several pieces on which these modifications were worked out are used in UA + taken out of conservation and upgrade. PS Muscovites also have a modernized version БТ-3Ф same БТР-50, but upgrade and new name.

  • I think the BTR in itself is not the problem but rather how they employed this tool of war. Like all tools of war it is but cog in the overall warmachine. APCs are essentially war taxi's where a unit can transport infantry timely where it's needed. It's not meant to absorb high explosive damge hence it's needed to be protected by heavy armor and air cover and as of today drone attacks. It is also assumed that the army using the same will keep it fueled thoughout the campaign. Take for example, the Japanese Imperial Army which primarily used bicycles in their campaign of Malaya and advanced with relative ease because they had air cover and this secured their flanks from horizontal and vertical envelopment. The problem with current iteration of the Russian army is their lack of air cover and combined arms support for the movement of these very vulnerable but necessary equipment. It's as if they've forgotten how to fight a conventional war by spending to much time in greyzone warfare. The Ukrainians on the other went back to basics and used this things once they knew that the path was relatively secured.

Another inaccuracy is that u mention how Ukraine still uses BTR-70,although partly true Ukraine has built and fielded its domestically built BTR-3 and BTR-4 with the BTR-4 although being larger has capacity for 8 embarked troops and 3 crew members with the ability to carry a 30MM auto cannon (and in some cases a prototype 40mm) which is far superior to BTR-82s 30MM due to BTR-4 main gun having I believe gen 2 if not gen 1thermals and NVG sights.

And while the tracked BMPs are better armed and armored, the wheeled BTRs' cheaper and simpler construction made them numerous enough to form the bulk of Russia's motorized / mechanized infantry.

    • Funny but no. 1 Armored infantry vehicle "BTR" 2 Infantry fighting vehicle "BMP" 3 armored reconnaissance and patrol vehicle BRDM 4 airborne combat vehicle first BMD In fact, there is a huge classification problem even in post-Soviet countries. At one time they thought to classify according to the presence or absence of wheels, then they decided to classify according to the severity of weapons, then everyone got tired and continue to use the name of the models. 1 The entire line of armored personnel carriers is wheeled, except for the BTR-50, it is tracked. Best best armor for BTR-4 UA and BTR-3 RU 2 infantry fighting vehicles are usually tracked, the armor is the same or worse than that of armored personnel carriers of similar years, but better armament 3 Reconnaissance vehicles Worst armor Worst weapons APC cut in half. 4 Tracked vehicle with armor against mosquitoes, designed for landing, armor + - like the BRDM but has better weapons There is also MTLB, it is also caterpillar; it belongs to the BTR class, although these 3 letters are not in the name. In the basic version, it has no weapons and is designed to transport towed artillery and cargo. PS everything is very complicated and confusing because of the competition of factories in the soviet union and the unwillingness to sit in the Gulag.
