The BTR-80 is a Soviet amphibious Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) which can move on both land and water, and is used to transport soldiers. It came after the BTR-70 and BTR-60 models, and its creation was influenced by the war in Afghanistan. However, the design didn’t change much from the older models. The BTR-80 has the usual layout, with three main sections: the driver and commander sit in the front, the soldiers and gunner are in the middle, and the engine is in the back. Everyone inside shares the same space, and they use side doors to get out, which is a big improvement from the side hatches used in the BTR-70.

Today’s video isn’t going to be about the history of the BTR-80, but instead we’re going to take a detailed look at the gunner’s position inside the BTR-80.

So hello and welcome and enjoy this video.
