Historical Background of the BTR-60P

The BTR-60P was the first vehicle in the BTR-60 family, developed in the Soviet Union at the end of the 1950s. It was widely used by the Soviet army and Warsaw Pact countries in various conflicts—from the Cold War to numerous wars of the Eastern Bloc during the 1960s and 1970s. This open-top armored personnel carrier allowed troops to quickly exit the vehicle. The model combines a low-profile silhouette with its distinctive eight wheels and easily detachable machine gun cannon.
