The MT-LB tracked armored personnel carrier was developed in the mid-1960s and entered service with the Soviet Army at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s. The car was equipped with one diesel engine with a capacity of 240 hp. and accommodated up to 11 paratroopers. The crew consisted of two people: the commander and the driver. The main armament of the basic version was a single PKT machine gun of 7.62 mm caliber, located in the turret at the front of the machine. The MT-LB transporter was originally developed as an artillery tractor for anti-tank guns. 100-mm T-12, but it was relatively quickly used as an armored personnel carrier. As a result of the high susceptibility of the MT-LB design to modifications based on it, several dozen different types of specialized machines were created in the USSR and the countries of the Warsaw Pact. These include the 9K35-Strela 10 set (self-propelled anti-aircraft complex), the 2C1 Goździk self-propelled howitzer, the TTLB or MT-LB (Pzj) self-propelled artillery radar, used by the GDR army as a unit intended for anti-tank troops. MT-LB was very widely exported to many countries of the Warsaw Pact, as well as Arab and African countries. He also took part in many conflicts, including the war in Afghanistan (1979-1989), the war in the Persian Gulf in 1991, and the Second Chechen War.
