- Description
- The MT-LB is an Armoured Personnel Carrier, formally Malotiagovoraya Bronirovannaya Lyukovaya ("light armoured towing vehicle"), developed in the Soviet Union in the 1960s as a multi-role tracked platform for towing artillery, carrying infantry, and general logistics. It became one of the most widely used Soviet light armoured vehicles and remains in service in many countries. Weighing 11.5 tonnes, it is crewed by a driver and commander with seating for eight passengers (plus six touch seats) and is fully amphibious at 6 km/h. The YaMZ 238 diesel delivers 240 horsepower for a 20.9 hp/t power-to-weight ratio and a top speed of 62 km/h.
Armament is limited to a commander-operated 7.62mm PKT machine gun in a small turret with 2.6x sight and no rangefinder. The vehicle has an engine smoke system and benefits from neutral steering for manoeuvrability.
