BTR-82 is a deep modernization of the BTR-80 model. This is a relatively new armored personnel carrier. It began to be produced only in 2011, two years after the collection of the first experimental images. The Russian army adopted the equipment less than 10 years ago.
The BTR-82A has a unified module with a weapon stabilization system, which is represented by a 30 mm 2A72 rapid-fire cannon. The usual BTR-82 uses a 14.5-machine gun KPVT. The gun was supplemented by a Kalashnikov machine gun.
