Historical Overview of the BTR-60P APC

The BTR-60P was the first serially produced eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier of the USSR. Introduced into service in 1961, it became the main means of transport for the mechanized infantry of the Soviet Army and Warsaw Pact states during the Cold War. The BTR-60P lacked a roof over the troop compartment, reflecting the early doctrinal assumptions of the USSR. Vehicles of this type took part in numerous conflicts in the Middle East, in Vietnam, as well as during the Soviet intervention in Czechoslovakia in 1968. Its period of use spans the 1960s and 70s, but it can still be found in service in many countries today.
