BTR-60PB

The Russian BTR-60PB Light Battle Tank.

Background
This water-bound wheel-based transporter was once a main export to other Warsaw Pact countries. It is lightly armored and used mainly to transport infantry. A 14.5-m machine gun has been mounted to its rotating turret. Its wheel base consists of 4 pairs of tires, of which only the front 2 pairs roll. Thanks to the tire pressure control system, the BTR is mobile in even the toughest terrain.

Involvement
This vehicle is used to support attacks on airborne targets and, in larger formations, to attack tank columns. A 7.62 PK machine gun or an anti-tank launcher for Malutka guided missiles can be mounted.
