| Miscellaneous Info: | The BTR-60P series of armored personel carriers (APC) succeeded the BTR-152 APC Series, and are fully amphibious BTR is the acronym for "Bronetransporter", translated from Russian as 'armored transporter'. The first version in the series, the BTR-60P was open topped. However, the later PA and PB were both fit with a roof but differed in the armament mounted (PA = Pintle Mounted vs. PB = Turret Mounted).
