The BTR-80’s frontal hull section houses a driving compartment, which accommodates a driver and a commander of the armored personnel carrier. The troop compartment combined with the fighting compartment occupies the central part of the vehicle. The engine compartment is placed in the rear part of the hull. The crew enters and leaves the vehicle through either the upper hatches in the hull roof or side doors, which enable the crew to get into and exit even when the vehicle is on the move.
The BTR-80’s armament includes: a gun mount comprising the 14.5mm KPVT heavy machine gun and 7.62mm PKT (PKTM) machine gun with the traverse angles of 360° and elevation angles of +60 to -4°. The APC is fitted with the TKN-4GA combined gunner's sight for aimed fire from weapons day and night. The crew can use their personal weapons protected by the vehicle’s armor through firing ports in the hull sides or destroy low-flying air targets through the firing ports in the upper hatches of the vehicle.
