The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation restored the old BTR-50 and added new weapons: what was changed (photo)

An anti -aircraft installation armored personnel carrier can be used to combat anti -aircraft drones. The BTR-50, which is transported to the tractor, has lit up on social networks. The machine was installed a anti-aircraft installation ZU-23-2. About it reports NMFTE telegram. On the published photos BTR-50 is transported on a MAZ truck. The armored personnel carrier was restored on board. In addition, the car was installed ZU-23-2.

The anti -aircraft installation is designed to defeat terrestrial and air purposes. In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they can use it to fight drones, suggest in the comments. It is also possible that the invaders will use the BTR-50 in the form of Erzatz-BMP. BTR-50 is a 15-ton diesel armored tractor that can accommodate up to 20 fighters. The machine itself lit up in the Russian army in early 2023. The armored personnel carrier was developed in 1952.

An obvious reason for the use of BTR-50 is a shortage of armored vehicles in the occupier's ranks and the inability of the Russian defense complex to produce enough BTR-82 and BMP-3. BTR-50 armored personnel carriers were designed on the basis of PT-76 floating tank. According to journalists, BTR-50 is too old as a combat vehicle. It is only slightly protected than golf car. We will remind, on January 17 the Armed Forces near Avdiivka destroyed a rare BTR-50, which was thrown.
