MT-LB, armored personnel carrier family
The MT-LB is a light armored personnel carrier developed by the Soviet Union and still used by armed forces in various countries today. It is a versatile vehicle with a compact design, engineered to transport troops and equipment across challenging terrain.
The vehicle was designed in the late 1950s in the Soviet Union as a transport solution for mechanized armies. Its functional design proved so successful that it was adopted and modified by dozens of countries afterward.
The vehicle can cross difficult landscapes and swampy terrain, making it suited for operations in extreme climates. Its low profile and light weight enable high mobility, though interior space is limited.
Despite its compact size, the vehicle can carry up to 15 people and is capable of crossing rivers and lakes. This amphibious ability makes it especially valuable for operations in water and swamp-filled regions.
