The replacement for the BTR-152, the eight-wheeled BTR-60 evolved the Russian APC design from the “truck with buttloads of armor” setup to the more advanced, boat-shaped hull layout. This allowed the BTR-60 to gain full amphibious availability, a foreboding profile and significant protection from small-arms fire and shrapnel. Able to transport 14 fully-armed troops across rough waters and rough terrain, the addition of a heavy machine gun with a turret (similar in design to the BDRM-2 turret) enhances the offensive ability of this fierce transport. Though no longer used extensively as an APC, the BTR-60 still sees use as a combat operations support vehicle.
