BTR-82A

The BTR-82A is the result of upgrading the BTR-80A APC in order to improve its main performance and service specifications through the use of a higher-capacity power plant, an armament stabilizer, a combined (day/night) sight, as well as improvements to transmission and running gear units. The vehicle is fitted with a unified fighting compartment with stabilized gun and machine guns. The TKN-4GA-01 combined (day/night) sight enables the gunner to fire the gun and machine gun at the halt and on the move, day and night. A two-axis-stabilized armament system and new observation and sighting devices have improved the target detection and engagement performance.
