They really have made a lot of improvements to the BTR series, what improvements have been made to this vehicle by the Ukrainian Armed Forces?
Aha nothing political here just good old military machines at their best. nice to see the equipment of other forces, kinda get bored with the US and Brit stuff (cool though it is)
BTR-3E1 has a body differnet from old BTR-60, 70 or 80 - improved armour with anti-shrapnel kevlar lining. Main difference - is uninhabited combat module instead of traditional turret. It is equipped with stabilized 30-mm automatic cannon, automatic grenade launcher and mashine-gun, also it carries two AT guided missiles and dual -channel aiming system - optical and NVG-channel (othermo - as an option).
New ukrainian BRT's - are potentially multiourpose platforms. For example, there is medevac machine ora project of self-propelled mortar - both 82 and 120mm
