​@@cfranko1860 I want to imagine it's a magical place where retired BTRs enjoy their evening of life. But it's probably just an amphibious training facility.

My dad (Retired Brigadier General, Bangladesh Army) was the CO of a mechanized inf battalion that used 60 of these. They were deployed against several government and rebel forces in Western Africa (I know the location is confusing, western Africa is 7000 km from our country, we were deployed in an UN supervised mission) Now from what I gathered from my dad, the biggest asset of these APC's was mobility. You could get your troops literally any where you wanted to, and hit the enemy from any angle. The groups we were up against had a big stock of RPGs (Which this APC can't survive against) but even on the very few occassions of a direct hit, the occupants were not harmed. These were even used in hostage-rescue operations in area that were too 'hot' for helicopters, which is a pretty impressive feature. Now the downside is that it is vulnerable to 15+ mm fire in close range if the terrain doesn't provide enough cover. 12.7 can also damage it enough to send it to the repair shop, but usually not enough to disable it. The most important feature of this APC is it's ability to travel on water unhitched. This is a very important feature in my country, where you can't go more than a 2-3 kms without crossing a river.

One time he was on an inspection with an afghan Officer, when their convoi was attacked by the Mudshahedin. A Grenade of an RPG penetrate the armour of their BTR on the opposite site where the afghan had his place, killed him and go outside on the other side. Either the Russian officer, then any of the crew members or soldiers was seriously wounded.

@@dodgedemonsrtx BTR-4 is actually rewelded BTR-80, you can clearly see the resemblance. Sure they installed a stronger engine in the middle giving much better back ramp for dismounting, gave it some applique armor and plonked a relatively modern turret with thermals (biggest advantage) but lost a lot of mobility with amphibious capability essentially dropped - best you can say is that it floats. Strongest evidence for it being a frankenstein monster is the iraqi contract that fell through because of cracks in armor which happens when you reshape armor instead of producing fresh, very bad considering it's a monocoque vehicle.

While testing the usmc EFV in or around 2006-2007 vehicle a Russian 1969s era MTLB BTR 60 and BRDM were used as opfor and realism in vip trials which would make or break the expeditionary fighting vehicle which btw had been in development at this stage since the early 1990s. Anyway the russian equipmemt came from fort irwin in the mojave deaert and was low boyed down to camp pendleton. Marines were temporarily assigned as crews for the comblock vehicles. Anway on game day the opfor section took off and ran along the 17 mile beach up into the campen hills and would be used in blocking force and ambush style seanarios. On that faithful day the efv ground to a halt on the beach in full view of Top brass and pentagon vips. One of the many software upgrades failed and it would not run reliably for any amount of time. The 1960s era russian kit however ran flawlessly all week long and the crews with little or no maintainenanve maintained 100% readiness. The EFV program was shortly there after cancelled. General dynamics packed its gear up and laid its workers off. Now as an interim solution the USMC is testing 2 varients of a guess what 8x8 wheeled vehicle to begin phasing out the AAV family of vehicles. I as a former maintainer of Armored vehicles am a huge believer in maintenance simplicity and field maintainability. I have huge respect for Russian equipment.

The Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle was going through testing in 2010 and was cancelled in 2011 due to the very high cost of a single vehicle. The vehicle itself though went through a redesign February of 2007, requiring a new contract. May 4th of 2010 was when the prototype was rolled out at Quantico, so your timeline is not accurate at all. Also, only a single wheeled vehicle is being developed for the USMC, and the first order of 204 will be available in late 2019. BAE Systems "SuperAV," is not a simplistic and easy to maintain vehicle either, its more high maintenance than the EFV was, and is far slower in the water and on land. Wheeled vehicles are sought after due to their cost, not because of their maintainability.

This is one of my favorite armoured vehicles. The Russians have always been great at priorities that match their doctrine and this is a perfect example. By sacrificing armor and weapons they got something that was fast and cheap enough to have lots of them. When they had the chance to upgrade they went with an even more powerful engine.

The vehicle was designed to move troops behind the tanks in European land war theater. It does that VERY well.

Highly underrated vehicle. The key point imo is the fact that you can keep it low. you can keep it very silent, very good for urban warfare or in thick terrain. There was a few modernized once in the army when i was in and it was a good vehicle.

By the way, there is no evidence of ERA being implemented on BTR-80. The main reason for this is its relatively thin armour which can easily be damaged when ERA goes off. Other reasons can be sheer weight of ERA which can reduce the mobility of the vehicle as well as potential danger of dismounting troops being hit by ERA fragments. All in all, it's dangerous. And we should keep in mind every soldier's worst enemies -- accountants (ERA is costly, and military spending has its limits). Greetings from Russia!

There are additional booking kits. Overhead armor sheets, ceramic panels, grating screens, ERA for light armored vehicles are, but it is quite expensive and dimensional, so screens are more common. The usual ERA contact-1 will simply break through the armor when triggered, it is.

Just for info BTR-80 plays a role of Humvee don't not play a role for IFV like Bradley, its intent is the use as primary transport. In cases were USA army uses Humvee, BTR-80 is to be used instead by those armies that have it.

​@Nikola Poiukov However, the US has not had a good fleet of wheeled armored vehicles, and have use the HUMVEE in places of what it really should have. Just the stupid US military still fighting WW2. The HUMVEE was a terrible decision. Should have stuck with a light liaison vehicle like the Willy's Jeep, and developed a number of armored wheeled vehicles. Heavy tracked vehicles are fine for wars like WW2, but generally overkill for the wars the US has been involved in since WW2. Most countries do have a wide range of light armored vehicles and so do not have to use an oversized liaison vehicle like the HUMVEE in cases where an armored vehicle is the solution. The BTR series is just one of many light armored vehicles, and something like the Russian BDRM should have been used instead of the oversized HUMVEE. The US has to move vehicles into a theater since seldom will the next conflict actually be where the vehicles are stationed, so big vehicles mean a lot more transport capability it needed, and also bigger vehicles have larger logistics tails. This makes heavy armored vehicles less than ideal, and also means that a massive liaison vehicle like the HUMVEE are ridiculous, and it is being replaced by something even more massive. US military is a corrupt disgrace. Another problem with the HUMVEE is that it is too big. It cannot be manhandled at all easily, and is to wide for a lot of unimproved roads.

You do realize that an RPG or AT4 will easily destroy and BTR or BMP? Most APC's aren't designed to withstand a hit from anykind of RPG. I did two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. During my first tour I was in an up armored humvee and when being shot at I could barely tell when a round hit the vehicle. During my second tour was a TC (truck commander/team leader) and I was in a M117 Guardian. It's a big 4 wheeled armored vehicle.

You can add some cage-armor on the sides of the vehicle or another armor plate, and these can whithstand 12,7 mm shots and RPG and you can add the 30 mm autocannon from the BMP 3. Pretty good for an APC designed vehicle which price is below the 1 million dollars or even 0,5 million for new vehicle and nowadays and this is pretty rare in today western APC vehicles market.

A small correction: BTR platform will be replaced by Boomerang APC, and not by T-15 Barbaris that's built on Armata platform. My father served as a Driver-Mechanic of a BTR-60PB. He was stationed not far off Chinese border. According to him the tyre pressure control system was able to maintain pressures in tyres in case of up to 10 penetrations of the wheels. The ones he was working on, when he was in the army in 1980s, were by then thoroughly flogged out. When he arrived there were only 2 drivable ones in the whole unit. He repaired a few while he was in: by telling his superiors to simply let him climb into the sucker in the morning and not bother him for the day. He was left to go about his job of repairing them simply because he was the only one that could be bothered. Once the power steering let go on a march. He drove the damn thing at some speed to be able to wrench the big steering wheel. By the time he made it to the base and close to the garage his arms were dead. What let go was a connection which wasn't possible to fix out where they were as no backup was around. But everything was within easy reach and didn't require awesome brains to maintain. One of the reasons for the thin armor is the fact that Russian military specified the ability of "swimming" across rivers. Thus Russians made it able to float, but the cost was the armor thickness. New Boomerang is claimed to have multi-layered armor with ceramics that is both lighter and stronger than what is used on BTRs now. And it ALSO can float across rivers.

Mobility is the most underrated aspect of ALL combat!! You cannot make a tank at a reasonable price point that can survive air attack, artillery and antitank crews. However, you can make something fast and that means it's hard to hit.

I remember cruising around in this thing and feeling like the king of the damn world during the early parts of that old PS2 game “Mercenaries”...And then the choppers and tanks start showing up to ruin your fun 😅 Oh well, still a very cool vehicle, always liked the look of it even if the armament seemed a little light to me. 👍

really does it matter now 🙄

In an APC (Armoured Personnel Carrier) the two most important features are protection=armour and agility = power/tons. Less weight per HP = better agility. Agility gives better speed in terrain as well so the squad enters combat fast and secure even if it is not moving on a road. The main armament does not have to be an automatic 20 or 30 mm or AT missiles since this vehicle carries infantry right behind MBTs (Main battle tanks) in the same armoured movement, with aircraft on top. This infantry is important to protect the flanks, to scout and to destroy enemy in depth which is the main purpose of the armoured attack.

That was a great video. Really informative. Lots I didnt know and I served during the cold war in Europe.

I wish they would import these to US for surplus sale. Also I don’t get why people complain about armor and weapon systems on board this thing, it’s not meant to be used as a IFV it’s a APC which serve very different purposes, APCs drop you off on the outskirts of the battle. IFVs drop you off inside the thick of the battle. Do people just not understand the need for diversity of equipment and sometimes you don’t always need a heavy armored heavy weapon vehicle?

At 7:58 - it`s no just T-15 the RFAF are looking forward to. There are now 3 different platforms in development: the heavy T-15, the medium Kurganets-25 and the light VPK-7829 Boomerang. The first two are tracked, and the last one is wheeled. So it is really the Boomerang that is the successor of the BTR series. Unfortunately there are some rumours on the net, that the development of the Boomerang is stalled. One of the reasons suspected is that the forward-right mounted engine is so hot that it does not only give a huge IR signature, but even destroys the paint on the outside of the vehicle.

Great video as always :-) I like the BTRs they are good for what they are designed for. The casualties start racking up when they are used in ways they are not designed for, i.e.putting them up front alongside the heavy armour. This is the same problem the American's experienced with the Humvee, which was designed as a replacement for the jeep, not as a front line vehicle. One problem I have heard about the early manned turret versions of the BTR is that the gasses from the 14.5mm KVPT enter the fighting compartment. This can overcome the crew if they use it too much, which reduces it's suppressive fire ability. Not sure if this had been corrected by the time the BTR-80 had come out. Later versions with unmanned RWS would have no such trouble of course. Google BTR-4 with combat unit "GROM" (Ukraine) to see this taken to the nth degree ;-)

Indeed. This vehicle used in it’s intended role is a winner. You’re transporting infantry to the fight while protecting them from small arms fire and artillery fragments. You don’t need too much armor for that. You’re also not using this vehicle to go head to head with tanks and IFVs. You have the 14.5mm to provide fire support for the dismounted infantry and local security of the vehicle. I imagine this vehicle would close to 1 to 2km from the assault position, out of range of most enemy direct fire weapons, and then it provides overwatch for the squad with the 14.5mm as they dismount and assault the objective on foot. As the infantry clear the area the BTR can move forward and extend coverage deeper into the objective with the 14.5mm.

As for the 14.5 mm gun, it had its days being smaller ammo faster bullet straighter shooting than any other caliber ever which makes it great against infantry, yet the bullet is small so not much effective explosive bullets, and its worth it to say that this 14.5 mm bullet being first developed as an anti armor ammunition became the standard for apcs armor of the west, in that they have to be able to resist it. Yet i still have mixed feeling about it. I mean it is far faster and straighter bullet and small and light. It is sexy one has to admit. There , enough rambling

Впрочем тебя никто не держит в России - можешь валить на все 4 стороны: скатертью дорожка! И это тоже проявление свободы в РФ.

I was a 63Y/B. thats a track , wheel, coffepot mechanic. I have ridden in the older versions of this and the M113. This is one of the times when Russia got it right. remember it takes 1 grunt to kill 1 battle tank.

Thank you for the video! You've mentioned 8 troops to be carried in BTR. But you should know that usual Russian mechanized infantry squad includes a commander, a driver and a heavy gunner (these two run PKM, when not in BTR), and those tree are taking their places in BTR. So one machine - ten troops=one squad. But most of the time BTR is mostly used as a taxi, which can provide significant fire support.

There ya go Squad players ! What the dealio is with the BTR-80 in real life. Matsimus Gaming - Good videos that you want to watch, in an accent you can understand ;-)

I love Russian weapons. By far my favorites, T-72, T-80, T-55A, BTR-80, SU-33, AK-47, AK-74u.

Liked the video because of the look and most importantly the power it has

Another great vid cheers.

NOT PsiSyndlcate and if so that not accurate the first models could stop 7.62mmAP on the side and 12.5mmAP on the front.....the one used today can stop 14.5mmAP in the front and not much better.........and for you to say there not impressive is inaccurate

i love this than sportscar

Your video is great, Matsimus

in MW2 the BTR 80 has dope aesthetics. Im kinda in love with that model.

Do the mt-lb next

You have to respect Russian equipment. All very robust needing to deal with their wide open and hard environment of their country.

Your intro is sick man

Thumbed for the intro

7-8 passengers is really pretty measly for a vehicle this size. This vehicle was tested against the XA-180 back in the day, and the only advantage this one had was the machine gun and lower price. The XA-180 was faster, had greater operational range and carried twice the number of passengers. And with the USSR/Russia being in the state it was, it was simply easier to acquire more XA-180s. edit: some details

What about the BTR-90? And it's new turret?

BTR-80 is more similar to BTR-70 from a technical point of view than BTR-90 on BTR-80, but the layout is similar, this concludes the coincidence.

The first comment section where there are no Ukrainian supporters hating this

Our army is the largest operator of this beast, having around 645 of these

The idea of the vehicle i think is great, it being a lightweight and mobile apc capable to running a good range of weapons. But it needs more armor, because i get you can over armor a vehicle. But the armor should be capable of withstanding short range small arms fire, especially since it's an APC. Since it can be expected to operated in close quarter situations, where enemy infantry can show up within 100 meter ranges. And honestly 12.7mm machine gun fire it should be able to deal with to some degree as well, due to how common such machine guns are.

BTR-90 was a better armoured one. However, it became too heavy and its mobility worsened and that's something you don't want to have on a wheeled vehicle.

It is supposed to be protected from 12.7mm fire on the frontal arc, and 7.62 class threats all round.

That 14.5mm KPTV machinegun will be more than enough for infantry and maybe the occasional low flying helicopter. I'm a tad worried about wether or not that armour can stand up to an RPG or other infantry anti-tank weapons though

Can you talk about the South african main battle tank??

BlackDolphin90 it's almost as outdated as this apc, still would love to know more, especially why they went with the L7 rifle. I get that most threats on the continent can be countered by a 105mm, still a curious case.

This is a truly outstanding vehicle. Possible improvements include placing the engine in the front and across wise, (like in the Merkava tank) and a rear access hatch both to improve the survivability of the crew. Regards, Geoff. Reeks

Omg, the closed captions make the intro golden. "Golden Bobby can secrete" The BTR series of vehicles are pretty neat. I think they are cheaper and as good as the luchs.

You should see about shortening your intro, after watching for over two years, it's a bit tedious to press the right arrow key two or tree times to skip through it, good sir~ No offense meant~

Bob Lang I hear you. But it's kind of how I roll with my channel. It's a complaint I get from a lot of people but I like the way introduces the kit. I could maybe shorten it more though :-) thanks for your constructive feedback. It's a welcomed changed from "shorten your Fucking intro" or "video starts at ...."

IMMORTAL CLASSIC!

hey, do you think we should use the Lee Enfield MK 3* for parades or just stick with the SA80A2 great videos don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise
