Details

The BTR-152 was a six-wheeled Soviet armoured personnel carrier, built on the chassis and drive train of a ZiS-151 utility truck.

It entered service with a number of Warsaw Pact member states beginning in 1950, and formed the mainstay of Soviet motor rifle battalions until the advent of the amphibious BTR-60 series during the 1960s.

BTR-152s were available in several marks, and were manufactured in large numbers for the Soviet military and export.

Late production models utilized automotive components from the more reliable ZIL-157 truck.

Three primary variants of the BTR-152 appeared between 1950 and 1959: the base armoured personnel carrier with a single pintle-mounted 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun, an unarmed command vehicle with a higher roofline, and an anti-aircraft variant armed with a ZPU-2 mount.

BTR-152s could carry a single infantry squad each, or specialist weapons teams along with their mortars and anti-tank equipment.

In Soviet service, a number were also deployed as artillery tractors.

BTR-152K (1959) - Received an armoured roof with three big hatches on top of it, two of which opened to the right over the troop compartment, an internal tires pressure regulation system and a filtering/ventilating system.

The weight of the vehicle has increased, the crew went down from 2+18 to 2+13.
