This fully-amphibious armored personnel carrier first appeared in the early 1980’s. It’s distinctive eight-wheeled design quickly became a common sight throughout the world.
Lightly armored, the BTR-80 relies on its speed and maneuverability to survive on the battlefield. As fast over most terrains as any tracked vehicle, it can reach speeds as high as 80 km/h on the road. This makes it an excellent fire support vehicle for deployed infantry as well as a scout or patrol vehicle.
The BTR-80 uses a crew of three, and can carry up to seven combat-ready soldiers. Once deployed, it can provide fire support with a 14.5mm heavy machine gun and 7.62mm coaxial machine gun.
