- Description
- The BTR-55 is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle that combines a BTR-style role with a tracked, tank-derived chassis and a turreted armament. The designation suggests a hybrid or in-universe design rather than a direct historical BTR; real BTRs are wheeled, while this vehicle is tracked and carries a 14.5 mm KPVT in a turret. It weighs 30 tonnes and has a crew of two — driver and gunner — with a ChTZ V-55V diesel producing 580 horsepower for 19.3 hp/t and a top speed of 50 km/h forward and 7 km/h reverse.
The gunner operates the 14.5 mm KPVT with mouse-aim and 45 deg/s traverse in a turret with -7° to 45° elevation. No stabilizer, rangefinder, or smoke systems are listed in the data; the vehicle emphasizes firepower and mobility in a compact, two-man layout.
