The serial production of new armored personnel carriers BTR-82A and the modernization of the existing BTR-80 to the state of the BTR-82AM continue. According to the latest news, this year the armed forces will receive several hundred more units of such equipment. It is curious that as a result of these processes, the BTR-82A (M) has already become the most massive vehicle of its class in the Russian army.

Past successes


The BTR-82A (M) armored personnel carrier was officially put into service in 2013, although supplies to the troops were carried out earlier. The production of new armored vehicles of the BTR-82A type was mastered by the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant. In addition, overhaul of the existing BTR-80 with modernization according to the BTR-82AM project is carried out at repair enterprises. The production and modernization of equipment quickly gained the required pace and continues to this day.



According to The Military Balance 2020, by the beginning of last year, the ground forces had 1 BTR-82A (M) armored personnel carriers. The authors of the reference book counted 661 more vehicles of these types in the coastal troops. The Airborne Forces had only 20 modern armored personnel carriers. At the same time, 1500 older BTR-80s were present in the army, and 100 such vehicles remained in the coastal troops. The core of the airborne armored personnel carrier fleet was made up of specialized BTR-D and BTR-MDM - more than 780 units in total.

Thus, in just a few years, the army and industry carried out a very large program of massive renewal of armored vehicles. The number of armored personnel carriers of new models and modifications gradually approached the number of old vehicles, which made it possible to more fully realize the qualitative advantages of modern models.


BTR-80 is no longer the most massive armored personnel carrier of the Russian army

It should be noted that the main contribution to such a renewal of the fleet of armored vehicles is made by the modernization of available vehicles. It is cheaper and easier to build the BTR-82A from scratch, but it allows you to get the same results. In different years, the modernized BTR-82AM accounted for at least 50-60 percent. from the total release of such equipment.

Last year's indicators


Production plans for 2020 were revealed last spring. Then the Ministry of Defense announced that at least 460 armored personnel carriers of two types would arrive in the unit by the end of the year. BTR-82A new construction was expected in the amount of 130 units.

Some messages about the delivery of the BTR-82A (M) in part have appeared since the beginning of last year. Recent deliveries of more than 100 units. took place already in December. From the available reports, it follows that the plans for the production of 460 armored vehicles were successfully completed. As a result of this, a number of units of different types of troops received improved equipment, while others began operating wheeled armored personnel carriers for the first time.

According to the results of last year's deliveries, the total number of BTR-82A (M) in the troops should have reached the level of 2140-2150 units. In 2020, it was planned to repair and rebuild at least 330 BTR-80 from combat units. This means that the number of such vehicles in the original configuration could be reduced to 1300 units. or less. However, in modern BTR-82AM armored vehicles can be rebuilt from storage, which will allow not to reduce the active fleet of BTR-80 and combine quantitative growth with a qualitative upgrade.

Plans for the future


On February 22, the Ministry of Defense revealed plans for the rearmament of the ground forces for this year. Hundreds of armored combat vehicles of various classes will be purchased. The most widespread will be the armored personnel carriers of the latest models - about 300 units. A few days later, the news about the procurement of armored vehicles was repeated, but without much detail. In particular, the shares of completely new and updated equipment are not indicated.

The expected completion of orders for this year will lead to understandable results. The total number of modern BTR-82A (M) will exceed 2400 units, and the number of older BTR-80s may be reduced again. By the end of the year, the units may have less than 1 such armored personnel carriers.

Most likely, in the next 2022, the production and modernization of armored vehicles will continue. The volumes of future orders are unknown and, possibly, have not yet been determined, since they must be determined taking into account the result of previous work. At the same time, it is clear what consequences the continuation of the current rearmament program will lead to.

Save and grow


The BTR-82AM project proposes the restructuring of the existing BTR-80 armored vehicle according to a new project with a number of important capabilities. When using equipment from combat units, the BTR-80 is gradually replaced with new BTR-82AM while maintaining the total number - and improving the state of the park, as well as increasing combat capabilities.


The construction of the BTR-82A is carried out from scratch. Distinguished by greater complexity and cost, it allows you to increase the total number of armored personnel carriers in the army. Such capabilities are used to equip newly created formations or to re-equip existing ones.

For example, in November 2020, the newly formed motorized rifle regiment of the 127th motorized rifle division received three dozen new armored personnel carriers. Later, in December, the re-equipment of three battalions of the 205th separate motorized rifle brigade was completed. Previously, they used MT-LB vehicles, and now they are mastering modern BTR-82s. Without the production of the BTR-82A (M), such processes would at least be difficult and would have limited results.

Benefits obtained


The BTR-82A (M) project offers a deep modernization of the existing BTR-80 armored personnel carrier with the replacement of a number of key units. Due to this, significant advantages are achieved over the basic machine in all main characteristics. However, the BTR-82A (M) is noticeably inferior to promising models that are preparing for adoption.

In the course of modernization, measures were taken to increase the resource of the structure. The increase in weight is compensated by the installation of a new KAMAZ-740.14-300 engine with a power of 300 hp. The same measures allow you to increase mobility and patency.

Much attention is paid to the issues of protection. A new anti-splinter lining has appeared on the armor inside the habitable compartments, designed to complement the hull sheets. Enhanced mine protection is envisaged. In addition, the seats of the crew and the landing party with an energy-absorbing suspension are used. An air conditioner has been introduced to improve working conditions.

BTR-82A (M) receives a turret cannon and machine gun mount with a 30-mm 2A72 cannon and a PKTM machine gun. The installation has a two-plane stabilizer and a combined (day-night) sight TKN-4GA. Such a complex of weapons allows you to obtain high firepower, increased accuracy and the ability to effectively fire at any time of the day.

Quantity and quality of


Thus, the BTR-82A (M) project makes it possible to do without the production of fundamentally new equipment, saving time and resources, but at the same time getting a noticeable increase in the main characteristics and capabilities. In addition, the need for a lengthy and complex retraining of crews disappears, and the operation processes are simplified.

A similar approach has been implemented over the past few years and has already yielded noticeable results. The total number of BTR-82A (M) gradually approached the number of BTR-80, and then exceeded it. It is expected that the modernization of the fleet of armored vehicles will continue, incl. with the renewal of old armored personnel carriers according to a modern project. It is very likely that in a few years this will completely abandon the outdated BTR-80 and fully use the potential of the modern BTR-82A (M) project.

      There is one more. Having an excellent 2A72 cannon and not having armor for the life of him, they do not want to equip a normal sight with a TV. Syria showed good results of the work of this armored personnel carrier, when the body is behind the parapet, and only the tower sticks out from above. NEEDS a normal scope.

    And what is the difference between the BTR80 and the BTR82, but only in the tower, and since there was a coffin on wheels, it remained. To put the designers and a couple of generals in it, and walk in line from the DShK. I wonder how their relatives will sing at the funeral.

          The 6-cylinder engine is certainly more compact, but the common rail fuel system. Who will repair and service it in the army. You have a fuel leak error and all the armored personnel carriers do not travel or the nozzle is shorted and it stalls.

              You are probably talking about some other "Israeli army". In the one about which I have information, there is not so much M113. A very small number are used as an all-terrain vehicle (not armored) and most importantly: they are no longer produced or supplied to the troops.

      It seems that you have just learned about the BTR-82A and the Boomerang, otherwise you would be aware that the Boomerang will go into series after the end of state tests, and until that time there is little choice, either to upgrade the old ones to the level of the BTR-82A or do nothing at all, let the old ones continue to wear out.

        Don't you get the impression that at least 5 years of state tests is definitely a lot?

        In my opinion, the Boomerang was ready for serial production long ago, but it turned out to be unambiguously too expensive, and this is the only reason for the modernization of the old paper BTR-80 with the tragic deployment of the landing force, to the level of the BTR-82.

        Of course, the BTR-82 has some improvements compared to the 80, but the cardinal flaws of this design cannot be eliminated, so talking about a new modern armored personnel carrier is an exaggeration. Their modernization and production support the Arzamas industry more than the army.

        The same is the case with the BMP - BMP-1AM "Basurmanin" versus "Kurganets".

        The same is with tanks, although the T-72B3M is a successful upgrade there, and the T-90M "Breakthrough" is one of the greatest tanks in the world.

          More recently, there was information that according to the results of preliminary tests, changes will be made to the design of the Boomerang, and after that it will go to state tests. This means that work on it continued until recently. As for the high cost, this is all very relative. We heard the same about the Su-57, Mi-28NM and other samples, but the prices were adjusted and good contracts were concluded. And the Boomerang will not go at the price of the Su-57, so do not worry, they will bring it to mind and start deliveries to the Armed Forces.

                      In general, after thinking a little over the comments about light armored vehicles, I must say that I rather disagree with the critics of the BTR-82a. With all its real shortcomings, in the conditions when, first of all, modern technology is still not in the series, and it is not clear when it will actually be, and besides, even when it goes into series and will be purchased, it is not clear how massive these purchases will be. and how many years to stretch. In general, in these conditions, buying a conditionally modernized one, the same for everyone, and at the same time an inexpensive armored personnel carrier does not at all look like a bad decision.

                        Here, as they say, without options: on the one hand, tanks and heavy infantry fighting vehicles (and just BMPs), so that they can carry infantry, and swim, and support it with fire, and protect the rear, and so that no army can pull a lot and cheaply ...
                        On the other hand, no matter how much an armored personnel carrier is, it is the "long arm" of a squad with a firing distance of 1500 - 3000 m.
                        In addition, in terms of armor, it is necessary to find fault with the Ministry of Defense: that during the years of development it was possible to think about strengthening the armor, that now nothing prevents the screens from being installed in large quantities.

Remember how things were with the Su-57 and Mi-28 NM. There, too, at first they shouted that it was expensive, then the manufacturer dropped the price a little and immediately the contracts went. But this is when the technique is already ready, but when it has not yet been brought to mind, then there is nothing to agree on. but the fact that it is 5 years old, so in our times it is normal for new technology.

            Cartridge with armor-piercing incendiary bullet B-32 (armor-piercing incendiary bullet with a steel core, GRAU index - 57-BZ-542) was adopted in 1936.
            When firing from the DShKM machine gun against steel armor of medium hardness, the armor penetration of the B-32 bullet is 20 mm at 500 m at 0 deg. from the normal.
            Cartridge with BS armor-piercing incendiary bullet (BS - armor-piercing core) was put into service in 1974.
            The BS bullet has a significantly better armor-piercing effect than the B-32 bullet. Armor penetration 20mm at a distance of 750m at an angle of 20 degrees from the normal

            There is no need to even talk about cartridges with a tungsten carbide core and sub-caliber cartridges that are in service with our "partners" - they are many times superior to the B-32.

              And here are the provisions of our old combat manual of 2005:
              When approaching the enemy on infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), the platoon commander, with their exit to the starting position, gives the commands "Platoon, TO MACHINES", "TO PLACES". The platoon personnel board the vehicles and are made to fire through the loopholes. A platoon in infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) at maximum speed moves to the dismounting line, firing on the move. At the dismount line, the platoon acts in the same way as when advancing from the depths.

              Or this:
              An attack without dismounting the personnel (by landing on tanks) is possible on an ice crust or ice space.

      The BTR-82A was developed on the basis of the BTR-80A (BTR-80S), which is essentially perceived as a temporary upgrade until the BTR-90 appears in the troops. The latter, for all its design flaws, had good body protection, but did not grow together. Today, new BTR-82A are being made and old BTR-80 (BTR-82AM index) are being modernized to their level. The expediency of the first is questioned, the second has a rational grain. Here you have to look, if they change 60s, 70s and MTLB, then in essence everything is correct - a tit in the hands is better than a pie in the sky. However, if they change, as in our Central Federal District - BMP-1 and BMP-2, then it causes a misunderstanding.
      For the rest, I wildly doubt that our designers could not repeat the Ukrainian BTR-3 and BTR-4. Although in terms of armor and they are rather weak.
      The withdrawal of the Russian Army as air is necessary for an armored personnel carrier with armor protection in a circle of at least 12,7 mm of ammunition, with a decent mine protective, floating and stern ramp.

              You are joking? Troika holds 30mm to the forehead and 12,7mm to the side. And its purchases are massive. In addition, for BMP-2 and 3, MO, judging by government purchases, ordered additional booking kits. The BMD-4M is another matter: an expensive (apparently in the media) and weakly protected combat vehicle.

            Again you do not understand what you are writing about. Russia does not fight with a couple of hundred armored personnel carriers / infantry fighting vehicles / tanks / aircraft, battalions / regiments. We will talk about armies, thousands of aircraft and tens of thousands of armored vehicles. Have you seen the mobilization reserve of the Russian Federation? Do you know how much money is needed for a 10 million army, taking into account all units of equipment?
            If you are completely on your toes - here you have a knight chained from head to toe in armor, and you have your metallurgy in a country that can provide no more than 100 knights with metal in a year (well, you don’t have deposits of iron ore in the country, which to do). And your task is to equip the 50 thousandth army for an imminent war.

            This is natural, no one is talking about the replacement right away. Moreover, it is simply necessary to upgrade and maintain the massive 80/82.
            But new Boomerangs and Kurgantsy, full-fledged MRAPs, light airborne SUVs should already be produced. Not in thousands a year, at least in tens or hundreds.
            The new equipment should go to our expeditionary forces in the Transcaucasus, Central Asia, and Syria. To a war zone or wherever there is a risk of them.

    The very concept of the BTR80 has long been outdated.

        This is the main drawback of armored vehicles - all modernization should go not for armor, but for detection equipment.
        Moreover, if the UAV transmits the detection of enemy manpower to the APC in real time, then the enemy infantry will not be envied, especially the grenade launchers.

        an anti-tank grenade is a capricious thing, it often ricochets, the cumulative jet is effectively extinguished by the screens, and the armored action often does not ensure the destruction of the vehicle. But 2 kg of explosives in a grenade will tightly knock the entire tank marines sitting ON the armor.

        The BTR-152 was created by those who experienced the necessity and importance of the Bronya-Transporter in the army in their own skin. The more combat experience was lost, the more often the military-industrial complex began to produce freaks.
        We got to the point that the armored personnel carriers did not have any armor, nor could they be a transporter ... but they put a huge cannon on an Exarts wedge.
        A 30mm 82A combat module weighs 2,5 tons, with the same weight it was possible to completely put the machine in a circle in a steel screen 10mm thick and 2 meters high.
        If you give up on buoyancy (which has never come in handy in combat conditions for all 40 years of operation of the BTR80), you can also screw a two-ton 30mm armor plate under the entire troop compartment.
        BTR-80, although it is already frankly outdated machine, but with modernizations it is quite possible to pull up to an acceptable level.

Mine protection is required when conducting counter-guerrilla operations with single armored vehicles, and a column of a motorized rifle battalion must travel along a previously checked and cleared road and deliver infantry to the place of hostilities. All these anti-mine armored personnel carriers do not have the passability of the 80-82 BTR. And the new Boomerangs and Terminators are an ersatz tank, and their cost is no less than a tank one.

            Only after the first use in hostilities came the understanding that an armored personnel carrier without a roof easily turns into a trap. In addition, the task of the armored personnel carrier is not only the transportation of l / s, but also the conduct of combat without dismounting. But, it is important to understand that the armored personnel carrier does not go in the same line with the tanks, but acts behind them.

    Those who criticize armored personnel carriers for weak armor should be taught materiel and understand the difference between armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. An armored personnel carrier is simply a means of transportation for motorized infantry, which is protected from shrapnel and from machine gun fire at a distance of 200-300 meters. The armored personnel carrier is not intended to support the infantry during an attack, and even more so it is not designed to attack with motorized infantry inside its fighting compartment. The infantry in the attack should be accompanied by tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and the armored personnel carrier and self-propelled guns must follow them, the self-propelled guns as fire support, and the armored personnel carrier as a quick transformation of the infantry into motorized infantry when breaking through the enemy's defenses and for quickly advancing behind enemy lines.

      An armored personnel carrier is simply a means of transportation for motorized infantry, which is protected from shrapnel and from machine gun fire at a distance of 200-300 meters. The armored personnel carrier is not intended to support infantry in an attack, and even more so it is not designed to attack with motorized infantry inside its fighting compartment. The infantry in the attack should be accompanied by tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and the armored personnel carrier and self-propelled guns must follow them, the self-propelled guns as fire support, and the armored personnel carrier as a quick transformation of the infantry into motorized infantry when breaking through the enemy's defenses and for quickly advancing behind enemy lines.

      Can you demonstrate what has been said with an article from BUSV Part 3 or Part 2? laughing I will say more. If the armored personnel carrier did not have weapons, it would have been used as a simple armored vehicle. And, having put a 30-mm machine gun on the armored personnel carrier, try to force the commander not to use this weapon in the front line of defense in battle!

          This does not negate the fact that the level of armor protection of the armored personnel carrier is completely inadequate, and getting involved in a firefight even with a pickup truck with a DShK in the back is fraught with danger.
          And plus, 2 extra people - 2 potential corpses, in any serious mess.
          In addition, the module costs almost as much as the armored personnel carrier itself.

          My opinion is that in the conditions of modern combat, with its oversaturation with anti-tank equipment, large-caliber machine guns and small-caliber cannons, all this lightly armored equipment to participate in shootouts absolutely shouldn't.

          This is how the BTR-60 was implemented? Two paired synchronized engines? This really increased the survivability of the vehicle in combat conditions. I remember, indeed, an armored personnel carrier with one damaged engine was able to escape from the shelling. With that level of technology, with the level of service that we had in the 80s in Afghanistan, the consumption of gasoline was prohibitive. In practice, worn out, poorly adjusted engines in a pair ate up to 100 liters of 76 gasoline per hundred kilometers of mountain roads.

    This year, 2 battalion sets of BTR-82A are to be delivered to us in the Republic of Belarus. This is the first such large batch of armored vehicles, but I would like to see in this batch such an option, with ATGMs installed, so that the tanks could be driven in case of need.

      So far, only the improvement of 82A and 82AM with the screens installed on the photo is promised. Although ATGMs, sooner or later, most likely, will also begin to be installed.

        The ones in the photo are solid - they end up giving protection against armor-piercing rifles. This means that everything below the paw magnum (and in practice below 12,7 mm) is not to be afraid of.
        And the grilles are already from the main enemy of the btra - from the RPG.

                  Even strikers do not hurt, they wear them in lattices, because for a long time everyone has been looking at KAZ. It doesn’t go well against the RPG-29, and it’s ridiculous to escape from the RPG-7 when you can be knocked out by a sniper rifle.

                    They did it in Iraq.
                    You judge too radically - cases when snipers hit the crew or the landing force are rare (at the level of rumors) and are more often associated with situations when the crew was hit through open windows (I don’t remember what they are called there) - in a combat situation they are closed with armored doors, and so they are unarmored. But getting an RPG in the side / forehead is much more real and dangerous for everyone in the car.
                    By the way, the main antagonist of the btr-82a, the striker, is not much better protected in the basic version. But the Yankees were working on it - they installed sets of additional armor made of ceramics, they tried to attach KAZ, and now, after us, they began to arm them normally. And we have just started to think about all this.

                      Why shouldn't snipers do this if the car can be knocked out with special ammunition even 0.3 caliber. I'm not talking about 0.5, which can be installed on a jeep. You can't break a striker like that - 14.5 mm resistant. And even the striker's protection is so-so. Today there are already 20mm caliber snipers, not to mention the compact reckless modules. And weapons to the detriment of protection is nonsense. In general, as it was a mass grave, it remained.

And once again - M2 loses 2A72 in targeting range and efficiency. Therefore, far from stupid Yankees began to bet the bushmaster on the strikers.

                        The most massive BMP was also the M113. Another coffin, but on tracks. Looking at the most massive coffin?

                        A jeep with a good powerful dizilak or bugs based on Kan-Am or Polaris are many times faster and more maneuverable. This is already enough to be dangerous and its task is not to protect the crew by means of armor from the armored personnel carrier. As a maximum from AKM, and then not point-blank at the door. And it does not matter how many of them manage to make colorants in battle, but how many of the armored personnel carriers are important.

                        I don't know exactly how much and for which battalion, but I know the approximate size of the order for M107s in 2018. And this is not all that is available.

                        There is even a 105mm anti-tank version. There is a version with Bushmaster. But no difference. They, too, are looking for a solution with more effective protection. Therefore, when the Israeli army needed an armored personnel carrier, none of the American models passed for protection. Even Bocher did not pass, and this is not yours and not an American tin box. And when it goes into the JLTV series with a whole set of remote body modules, what then? Avoid approaching rugged terrain and buildings closer than 1.5 km?

              Perhaps it will surprise you, but loopholes and the possibility of firing from personal weapons were installed on almost all armored vehicles (Soviet, Western) until the end of the twentieth years. And this was done not because of economy (the loophole complicates production), but in order to increase the survival rate of both the landing force and the vehicle itself.

                  So I'm not saying that he is well protected, but not a coffin either. Even the latest events in Syria confirmed this, when, during a Russian-Turkish patrol near 82m, a land mine exploded - we have lightly wounded, and the Turks, whose Kirpi was farther from the explosion site and to whom the wave came in the forehead, had at least one dead. Yes, and 12,7 per side in a combined arms battle is a rarity. In addition, the lining for 82 new buildings is also a plus. Not to mention the distance the 2A72 can handle.

                  And so - on this machine you can (and should) work with a file for a long time: hinged armor (fortunately, with the stool, they suggested mounting mounted ceramics (from 14,5 mm to the side) and even carried out tests), thermal imagers, weapons, laser warning sensors ...

                    It seems that the charge was very weak. And fire on the side of 0.5 is not at all uncommon, it is not a fact that even the forehead will withstand it if it is a long-barreled sniper and special ammunition. But the fact that they hung a cannon is a plus only on the command vehicle, in other cases it does more harm than good. They will also mack their own. You don't need to work here with a file, but with your head. Stop further development and production of this armored personnel carrier, but that's what needs to be worked on.

                        I don’t know for sure, but in 18 Barrett received 8 lemons for a new batch of M107. And this is about 800 rifles in addition to the existing ones.

                        I propose to end the argument. Fortunately, except that the existing level of protection of the BTR-82A raises questions and requires strengthening, otherwise we will not come to a consensus, and arranging holivar is such a thing.

                        It is possible to finish, but not the level of protection of this armored personnel carrier requires strengthening, and ideas to continue releasing an attempted murder of a serviceman require their logical conclusion.

                        There is no alternative yet: typhoons 4x4 and wolverines have only gone into series, the typhoon 6x6 does not carry weapons, and the boomerang will have to wait 15 years for the required number of years (until they finish finishing, cure for sores, start production and rivet up to 2000 units). So it turns out that either modernize and saturate 82s, or sit and wait.

                        But this is really interesting. By the way, and who do they arm them with? It seems that the Marksmen are using a rifle cartridge.

                        Now the role of the btra is performed by the armored version of the Humvee, MATV, maxpro and striker. And of them in the basic version, only the last two are more or less protected.
                        Why is JLTV better than 82? The most massive module is predicted to him from the stabilization. 12,7mm + dart. But in terms of armor, it seems to be no worse.
                        And at least 82 can really support. With additional armor and 12.7 mm it will hold:

                        No, because they did not develop with priority.

                        I don’t know who they will arm, but I’ve dug information about the contract. And 8 lemons for a proto do not pay for a small one.

                        The freight wagon platform can withstand up to 70 tons of cargo, and our tractors are hauled to the Golan, your KAMAZ trucks will also be able to.

                        I meant that a collision with such a maneuverable vehicle could cost the crew and half of the landing party in a matter of seconds. And specifically he cited this as an example, as a modern version expected to enter service and, accordingly, to the market. And where the market is, go know who the buyer tomorrow is. In Israel, for example, no one is going to fight with Russia, but they always count on a meeting with Russian equipment, for it is a large exporter, which means it is a visde.

                        wrote in one of the comments about the subcaliber .50BMG m903, penetrates armor of the same thickness (19-20mm) at a distance three times greater than the 14,5 BZT.
                        So you need to book a minimum of 14,5.

                        Doesn't upgrading the fleet to 82A take money and production capacity (which is slightly less than that of the United States or China)? And does not let the officials from the Ministry of Defense declare that everything is ok, and carelessly engage in the transition to the same Boomerang?

                        So far, the power and money for the production of a boomerang have not been allocated - the car that goes on the parade is very different from the one that is being tested now. In general, there is a strange story with a boomerang - it seems that the technical specification has been remade for it.

                        The BTR-80 is hopelessly outdated, both in terms of layout and in terms of armor protection. It is not entirely clear why it is necessary to make an under-BMP out of it. Nobody will attack us right tomorrow, there is time.
                        And after all, under this sauce, the delivery and procurement of armored personnel carriers based on Boomerang will be delayed, IMHO. What should be the top priority.

                        You can argue endlessly with the layout - I am generally a fan of the layout as on the ratel and K-63969 (by the way, an interesting armored personnel carrier from Kamaz, but recognized as "redundant"). The gun was installed on it due to the experience of Afgan and Chechnya, but with the armor of the problem - there was an option with the installation of additional ceramic panels (from 14,5 mm to the side) - even a discussion and a photo were on the courage - but then (and that was the time Stouretkin) refused.

                        And where did you find the info that 12,7 from M2 is stronger than the analogue of KPVT? It is very interesting - nevertheless, KPVT has a huge capacity.

                        Here, for example.
                        https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/slap.htm

                        This figure is available in various sources.
                        Then he became interested in the characteristics of the armor-piercing 14,5:

                        http://gunrf.ru/rg_patron_14_5x114_ru.html

                        We simply did not have sub-caliber rounds for heavy machine guns.
                        You can argue with the layout endlessly.

                        The driver should be in front, behind - the ramp for the landing. This is already a global standard.
                        Having hit the shelling, the armored personnel carrier stands up with its frontal armor to the enemy, the landing force comes out from behind under cover.
                        80-ka cannot stand with a forehead - the landing party is in full view, leaving the side doors.
                        And the sides are always weaker protected (if we consider the option - substitute the starboard side and leave the left door)
                        Another important point is the ability to turn on the spot. The BTR-80 does not have it, as far as I know.

    Listen, read and marvel at the victoriousness of the reports of our leadership once again. They were boasting about the unfinished Armata, now, here's a new trend - old, which is more convenient to learn, to manufacture and maintain. How many times it has been said that the BTR-80, etc., are all the equipment of the last century!
    Yes, of course, the BTR-82A is better, but not so much!
    It's just that when you understand well how the leadership system works - in Russia, in the army, all these victorious reports do not arouse admiration. Looks like a show, for the people, for the higher authorities.

    Neither new nor modernized, much less "old" does not correspond to modern realities! This car had exhausted itself even by the 80m .. BTR60 as it is, thicker armor, more powerful engine, more serious armament, but this is BTR60, a car from the 60s! The Russian army deserves a modern, adequately armored, armed and assembled armored personnel carrier.
