History[ | ]
Class: Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Developed: 2009-2010
Service: 2012+
Vehicles Built: 1500-2000 (estimates vary)
Operators: Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine and possibly Syria
The BTR-82A wheeled IFV is one of the most common Russian fighting vehicles today. It is a deep modernization of the Soviet BTR-80 APC. The original BTR-80 is a very conventional wheeled APC with steel armor and was designed to be produced en masse with 4000 vehicles built between 1984 and 2011.
The prototype of the first BTR-82A was developed in 2009-2010 at the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant in western Russia (near Nizhny Novgorod). The upgrades included a new 300hp engine, new night optics and a new combat module armed with 30mm 2A72 autocannon. However, the vehicle was still very lightly armored and weighed some 16 tons only. Despite these drawbacks, it was deemed a rugged and reliable machine.
The official trails took place in 2010 and by 2011, the first vehicles started to arrive at the units belonging to the Southern Military District. The vehicle was officially accepted in service in 2012. It's worth noting that the armed forces of Kazakhstan actually received the BTR-82A earlier than the Russians as the first deliveries took place in 2011. The production is still ongoing with more than 1500 vehicles of this type built. The vehicle was first used in combat during the 2014 crisis in Donbas by the separatists. Some were also exported to Syria in 2015 and took part in the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Since 2020, they have been in use by the Russian forces in Ukraine and a certain number of vehicles were also captured by Ukraine during the fighting.
