Sobre o local

Soviet mechanized infantry doctrine centered on amphibious armored transports capable of accompanying main battle tanks into combat.

Designers developed this tracked platform as an amphibious armored vehicle to support foot soldiers with integrated heavy firepower. Mass production took place primarily at the Kurgan Machine Building Works, alongside specialized reconnaissance hulls assembled in Chelyabinsk and Rubtsovsk. The vehicle combined an enclosed troop compartment with turret armament, establishing a template for international infantry fighting vehicles.

Combat experience prompted several rounds of mechanical updates, including fire suppression systems against napalm, smoke dischargers, and upgraded antitank missile mounts. Field modifications for mountain warfare added external applique steel plates and lower hull protection against explosive mines. Foreign manufacturers produced licensed and modified derivatives, deploying the platform across international armed forces.
