The model depicts the Soviet MT-LB 6M armored personnel carrier, which was developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1960s as a multipurpose tracked vehicle. MT-LB (the acronym stands for the Russian "Многоцелевой Тягач Легкий Бронированный"—Universal Light Armored Transporter) was used by the Soviet army and Warsaw Pact states, and also found use in the armed forces of many countries around the world. The 6M version was upgraded with a more powerful engine and an improved transmission system. These vehicles participated in many military conflicts—from the war in Afghanistan from 1979-1989, through numerous UN peacekeeping operations, to modern-day conflicts in Europe and Asia.
