Russia’s original armored personal carrier, the BTR-152 started service in the early 1950’s and has seen use ever since. The BTR-152 is essentially a Zis truck covered with a ton of armor… actually five tons of armor. The 152’s open-top design may not be ideal for urban areas with snipers, but in open combat half a platoon can fire their guns over the armored sides and take down exposed enemies. The exposed roof also allows personnel to quickly jump out and engage targets. Though the truck has a few flaws — the radiator shields cause the engines to overheat if used, requiring the driver to slow down to a dangerous crawl — it’s still one tough son-of-a-tsarist
