Russian propagandists recognize that the BTR-50 is removed from storage, which means a shortage of armored vehicles in warehouses, as well as the inability of the defense complex to produce BTR-82 and BMP-3 in sufficient quantities. On the temporarily occupied part of Ukraine, an echelon with the old BTR-50 Russian troops was observed. About it reports the Russian telegram-channel "War History ORIZHE".

The propagandists have posted photos of the echelon that can be distinguished by the BTR-50-these are the old machines designed on the basis of the PT-76 floating tank. "It is hoped that they will not be a replacement of ordinary APCs and MT-LB, but something else," the authors of the publication signed the photos. It is also stated that the photos were taken in the "area of ​​their". Probably, the composition was already on the temporary uncontrolled part of Ukraine.

In the Telegram-channel "Voenny Zadomist" add that the overturning of outdated APs indicates that Russian plants do not cope with the production of modern BTR-82A and BMP-3. And if the storage is removed from the BTR-50, it can mean exhaustion of BMP-1 and MT-LB stocks. The BTR-50P was developed in 1952 on the basis of the PT-76 floating tank. It can accommodate up to 20 people. The armored personnel carrier was arrived in 1954. As a weapon, a machine gun is 14. 5 mm or 7. 62 mm.
