# BTR-55

Role
: Infantry Fighting Vehicle

## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/btr-55.md#general-information)

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.
