BTR-80 - Soviet armored personnel carrier. Created in the early 1980s as a further development of the BTR-70 armored personnel carrier, taking into account the shortcomings of the latter identified in the Afghan war, and was intended to replace it in the motorized rifle forces. The BTR-80 entered mass production in 1984. The latest modifications of the BTR-80, equipped with reinforced weapons, are classified by many experts as wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. It was used by Soviet troops in the Afghan war, and since the 1990s it has been the main armoured personnel carrier of the Armed Forces of Russia and several other former Soviet republics and has been used in almost all major armed conflicts in the post-Soviet space. Actively supplied and exported, in total, as of 2020, the BTR-80 is in service with at least 26 Countires.
