 The [[wp>BTR-80|BTR-80]] (Бронетранспортер, Bronetransporter, or Armored Transporter) is a Soviet-designed and produced armored personnel carrier that was first introduced in 1984. It was a significant improvement over its predecessors, the BTR-60 and BTR-70, and played a crucial role in modernizing the Soviet Army's mechanized infantry capabilities. The BTR-80 was designed to provide a highly mobile and protected platform for infantry units, allowing them to keep pace with armored formations and provide close support. It was armed with a 14.5mm KPVT machine gun and could carry a crew of three (commander, gunner, and driver) plus seven infantrymen. The vehicle's armor was thicker than the BTR-70, with a maximum thickness of 23mm, but it was still designed to provide protection against small arms fire and shell splinters.

 One of the unique features of the BTR-80 is its improved armor, which provides better protection against anti-tank missiles and other modern threats. The vehicle also features a more advanced fire control system, including a telescopic sight and a more accurate machine gun mount. The BTR-80 has undergone several modernization programs and has been produced in various variants, including the BTR-80 (initial production variant), BTR-80A (variant with improved armor and armament), and BTR-80S (variant with improved mobility and communication equipment). The BTR-80 has also been exported to several countries and has seen action in numerous conflicts, including the Soviet-Afghan War, the Gulf War, and the Yugoslav Wars.
