Common card · No. 467615

The BTR-22 (Russian: бронетранспортёр, romanized: bronetransportyor, lit. 'armoured carrier') is an 8×8 amphibious armoured personnel carrier developed by the Military Industrial Company (VPK) of Russia. It was developed in the early 2010s as the BTR-82A(U), a heavily redesigned variant of the BTR-82A. The vehicle differs from its predecessor in its layout, moving the engine to the front of the hull, with troops disembarking from a rear ramp. The vehicle is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to the VPK-7829 Bumerang.
