BTR-80А: New Way of Thinking

Armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles may seem alike at first glance, but their roles are quite different. APCs are built to carry troops, while IFVs are meant to fight alongside them. Western designers often blurred that distinction, but in the Soviet Union the line was drawn clearly. For infantry support, the military relied exclusively on tracked vehicles armed to take on tanks and other armored targets. Wheeled vehicles with heavy machine guns were left with the job of troop transport. That separation held for decades, right up until the arrival of the BTR-80A — the first sign of a new way of thinking. This video is available with voiceovers and subtitles in multiple languages.
