It was created in the early 1980s as a further development of the BTR-70 armored personnel carrier , taking into account the shortcomings of the latter revealed in the Afghan war , and was intended to be replaced in the motorized rifle troops . The BTR-80 entered serial production in 1984 , and, having been repeatedly upgraded, as of 2012 is still in production. The latest modifications of the BTR-80, equipped with enhanced weapons, many experts are classified as wheeled infantry fighting vehicles [9] [10] . It was used by Soviet troops in the Afghan war, and since the 1990s it has been the main armored personnel carrier of the Armed Forces of Russia and several other former Soviet republics and has been used in almost all major armed conflicts in the post-Soviet space. Actively supplied and exported, in total, as of 2011, the BTR-80 is in service with at least 26 states [10] .

History of Creation and Production
The main armored personnel carrier of the USSR by the beginning of the 1980s was the BTR-70 launched in mass production in 1976 . The experience of their operation soon showed that, despite considerable improvements compared to the earlier BTR-60 , most of the main disadvantages of the predecessor passed to it almost unchanged. One of them was the relatively complex and unreliable design of the power plant made of twin carburetor engines , which also featured increased fuel consumption and a number of other drawbacks compared to a diesel engine [11] [12] . The unsatisfactory landing and landing of the troops and crew, which only slightly improved compared to the BTR-60, remained a no less serious problem. Unsatisfactory, as the Afghan war showed, remained the security of the machine [13] . To all this, the BTR-70 was supplemented by problems with a new-design water-jet propulsion device , which was often clogged afloat with algae, peat slurry, and the like [14] .
To correct these shortcomings, the GAZ-5903 armored personnel carrier was designed in the design bureau of the Gorky Automobile Plant under the leadership of I. Mukhin and E. Murashkin. While maintaining the unchanged layout of the BTR-70, the new machine differed from it in a number of changes. Instead of pairing carburetor engines, a single diesel engine of higher power was installed; large double-wing hatches in the hull sides were introduced for landing and disembarkation of the crew [15] . The body itself became 115 mm taller and longer, and 100 mm wider, although the overall height of the machine increased by only 30 mm [15] [16] . Further development was sought to provide the crew with the possibility of firing from under the protection of armor, for which the rifle ports on the sides of the hull were replaced by ball mounts deployed in the direction of the front hemisphere [15] . Booking an armored personnel carrier was only slightly increased, but even so, the weight of the GAZ-5903 increased by 18% compared to the BTR-70, from 11.5 to 13.6 tons, although the mobility of the vehicle as a whole remained unchanged, and the cruising range only increased [ 17] . After successful state tests, the GAZ-5903 was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1986 under the designation BTR-80 [12] .
Design Description
BTR-80 has a layout with the location of the control compartment in the frontal, combined landing and combat - in the middle, and the motor-transmission - in the rear of the machine. The full-time crew of the BTR-80 consists of three people: the commander of the compartment (car), the driver and gunner ; in addition to them, an armored personnel carrier can carry seven troops inside, in the airborne compartment, and as many outside on armor.
Armored Corps and Tower
BTR-80 is not able to withstand the impact of rocket-propelled grenades [18] . Also, the machine is vulnerable against the ATGM of the enemy as it is inferior to them in the range of destruction (2000 meters versus 4000-5000 for missile systems). The situation with the BTR-80A is somewhat better, however, it is also very vulnerable against guided missiles [19] . The APC is also defenseless against the cumulative warhead of guided missiles.
An armored personnel carrier can be destroyed by small-caliber artillery fire (ZU-23, 2A42, etc.) and large-caliber machine guns of 12.7 and 14.5 mm caliber [20] [21] .
Also, the BTR-80 is vulnerable to fire from almost any cannon. 120 mm mortar mines can also disable it.
BTR-80 has a slightly differentiated bulletproof armor protection. The armored body of the conveyor is made by welding from rolled sheets of homogeneous armor steel with a thickness of 5 to 9 mm. Most of the vertical armor sheets BTR-80, with the exception of the lower side and stern, are installed with significant tilt angles. The armored hull of all BTR-80s has a streamlined shape that improves its navigational qualities and is equipped with a folding wave-reflecting shield that fits in the stowed position on the middle frontal sheet of the hull, thereby slightly increasing its protection.
The control compartment is located in the frontal part of the hull, in which, on the left and right, respectively, are the driver and armored personnel carrier commander. Behind it is the landing squad combined with the military. Six paratroopers in the aft of the troop compartment are located in it on two longitudinal plastic seats in the center, sitting facing the board. In the front part, immediately behind the seats of the driver and the commander, there are two single seats for the remaining members of the landing, while the right seat is deployed along the vehicle to provide the possibility of firing, and the left, occupied by a member of the landing, in combat conditions becomes a tower shooter , turned back to the board. Near the seats of all the members of the landing, except for the tower shooter, there are eight ball mounts on the sides with horizontal aiming angles from ± 15 to ± 25 ° for firing personal weapons. Ball installations are deployed in the direction of the front hemisphere, as a result of which the rear hemisphere is a dead zone for paratroopers, a small dead zone is also available on the front left. Also, two more hatches for shelling the upper hemisphere, without ball mounts, are available in the landing hatches in the roof [17] [22] .
The BTR-80, like its predecessors, has two rectangular landing hatches in the roof, but the main means of landing and landing on it are large double-wing side doors, located immediately behind the tower. The top cover of the side door leans forward in the direction of the vehicle, and the bottom opens down, becoming a footboard, which, unlike its predecessors, allows landing and landing from the BTR-80 on the move [23] . The driver and commander, as on previous models of armored personnel carriers, have two individual semicircular hatches above their workplaces. In addition, in the body of the BTR-80 there are a number of hatches and hatches that served to access the units of the engine, transmission and winch.
Armament
1PZ-7 sight on BTR-80 | ||
The armament of the BTR-80 is the coaxial installation of a 14.5 mm KPVT machine gun and 7.62 mm PKT . The installation is placed on the pins in the frontal part of the tower , its guidance in the vertical plane, within −4 ... + 60 °, is carried out manually using a screw mechanism, horizontal aiming is carried out by rotating the tower. The aiming of machine guns at the target was carried out with the help of a 1PZ-2 periscopic monocular optical sight , which had a variable magnification of 1.2 × or 4 × with a field of view of 49 ° and 14 °, respectively, and providing fire from KPVT at a range of up to 2000 meters at ground targets and 1000 m for air targets, and from the FCT - up to 1500 meters for ground targets. KPVT is designed to combat lightly armored and unarmored enemy equipment, including low-flying air targets, and has an ammunition load of 500 rounds in 10 tapes equipped with B-32 armor-piercing incendiary bullets , BZT armor-piercing tracer, armor-piercing incendiary, with a tungsten carbide core , BST incendiary ZP and incendiary instant action MDZ . The PKT is designed to destroy enemy manpower and fire weapons and has an ammunition load of 2,000 rounds in 8 tapes.
Monitoring and communication tools
The driver and commander of the BTR-80 in the daytime in non-combat conditions monitor the terrain through two manholes closed by the windshields in the upper frontal armor plate of the hull. In combat conditions or when driving at night, they monitored the terrain through various types of periscope observation devices. The driver, using early-release vehicles, had three TNPO-115 periscope sighting devices for viewing the front sector, and on the machines of subsequent series, another TNPO-115 was added to them in the upper left cheekbone armor plate of the hull [24] . At night, the central forward-facing device was replaced by a periscopic binocular passive night vision device TVNE-4B, which worked by amplifying natural light, or by illuminating a FG125 headlamp with an infrared filter . The field of view of the instrument was 36 ° horizontally, 33 ° vertically, and the range under normal conditions was 60 meters when illuminated by a headlamp and 120 in natural light of 5 в10 −3 lx [25] .
The main means of observation for the commander of the vehicle is a combined binocular periscopic electron-optical viewing device TKN-3 with day and passive night channels. TKN-3 had an increase of 5 × for the daytime and 4.2 × for the night channel, with a field of view of 10 ° and 8 °, respectively. Installation of the device allowed its rotation within ± 50 ° horizontally and swing within −13 - + 33 ° in the vertical plane. A floodlight OU-3GA2M was connected to the device with a removable infrared filter, which was used for illumination in insufficient natural light. The night vision range for TKN-3 was 300-400 meters [25] . In addition to the TKN-3, the commander has three TNPO-115 devices - two for viewing the anterior sector and one installed in the upper right zygomatic armor plate.
For a tower shooter, the main means of observing the terrain is the gun’s sight, in addition, he has periscope viewing devices: TNP-205, located on the left side of the tower and TNPT-1, mounted in the roof of the tower and providing rear view. The landing party had two TNP-165A periscope observation devices installed in the roof of the hull behind the tower, at the landing sites of the machine-gunners, as well as four TNPO-115 devices installed in the upper side armored plates of the hull on both sides of the doors [22] .
For external communications, an R-123M radio station was installed on the BTR-80 of earlier releases, replaced by more modern R-163 or R-173 on machines of later releases. For internal communications, the BTR-80 is equipped with a P-124 tank intercom for three subscribers - a commander, a driver, and a tower gunner [26] .
Engine and transmission
The BTR-80 uses the KamAZ-7403 engine with a turbocharger installed in the engine collapse. BTR-80 with the engine YaMZ-238M2 has an index of BTR-80M.
When overcoming water barriers, in order to prevent water from entering the engine, high air intake pipes are installed.
The use of one engine on the BTR-80 resulted in significant changes in the transmission. The force from the engine through a dry friction dual-disc clutch with hydraulic drive is transmitted to a five-speed three-way gearbox. Second, third, fourth and fifth gears with synchronizers.
The torque from the gearbox is transmitted through an intermediate driveshaft to a transfer box, which is made in two stages, with differential distribution of torque into two streams: on the first - third and on the second - fourth axles. On the armored personnel carrier there is a forced locking of the center differential for difficult road conditions (shifting down gear and locking the center differential only when the front axles are on). And in order to exclude breakdowns when the transmission is overloaded (when the differential is locked), there is a friction clutch in the transfer case — a clutch of ultimate torque.
From the transfer case, power is also taken to the water-jet propulsion and winch. On the transfer case there are two brake mechanisms of the parking brake system of the transmission type.
The original transfer case allows you to use many components and parts of its predecessor, the BTR-70, in BTR-80 with minor changes, including drive axles, suspension, steering, service brakes and more. [27] [28]
Chassis
Four driving axles, front axles are deactivable, 8x8 wheel arrangement. Power steering, turn the front 4 wheels more than the rear ones, the armored personnel carrier has a smooth ride, it has good dynamics, high cross-country ability, high speed.
The high speed of the BTR-80 is ensured by a powerful engine, drive to all eight wheels, their independent torsion bar suspension, high ground clearance, and a centralized system for regulating tire pressure, making the BTR-80 able to follow tanks and overcome trenches and trenches up to 2 m wide to go.
The centralized system for regulating the air pressure in the tires provides a high cross-country ability of the BTR-80 off-road, comparable to tracked vehicles.
In addition, the BTR-80 can continue to move when one or two wheels fail. An armored personnel carrier will not suffer during a collision with an anti-personnel mine, but, even if it is detonated in an anti-tank mine, it will remain mobile, since the energy of the explosion will damage, as a rule, one of the eight wheels. [27] [28]
Jet Propulsion
Two water-jet propulsion devices are installed under the radiator. Intake holes in the bottom behind the rear wheels and covered with protective grilles. The appearance of the second water cannon, unlike the BTR-70, can be explained by the desire to improve the maneuverability of the armored personnel carrier when swimming in water. [29]
