Le BTR-152 (également connu sous le nom de BTR-140) était un véhicule blindé blindé soviétique non amphibie (БТР, de Бронетранспортер/Bronetransporter, littéralement « transporteur blindé ») †) qui est entré en service soviétique en 1950. Au début des années 1970, il avait été remplacé dans le rôle de véhicule d’infanterie par le BTR-60. Cependant, il est resté en service dans l’armée soviétique et l’armée russe jusqu’en 1993 dans une variété d’autres rôles. Il a également été exporté vers de nombreux pays du tiers monde.

The **BTR-152V1** is a specific variant of the BTR-152 (BronetransporterOu « transporteur blindé »)—a non-amphibious, six-wheeled armored personnel carrier (APC) developed by the Soviet Union shortly after World War II. The BTR-152 series formed the backbone of Soviet motor rifle battalions until it was largely replaced by the amphibious BTR-60 series in the 1960s.
General Design and Role
- **Chassis:** The BTR-152 was based on the chassis and drivetrain of the ZIL-151 (later ZIL-157) utility truck, making it essentially a mass-produced, armored truck.
- **Role:** Its primary role was to transport a full infantry squad (up to 17 soldiers plus a 2-person crew) to the battlefield while providing protection from small arms fire and shell splinters.
- **Protection:** It featured an all-welded steel hull with the engine at the front, and the driver/commander cab immediately behind it. The troop compartment was located at the rear. The armor, though light by later standards, was sufficient against contemporary rifle rounds and shrapnel.
- **Vulnerability:** A major limitation of the base BTR-152 and its ‘V1’ variant was the **open-topped** troop compartment, which left the soldiers vulnerable to indirect artillery fire, hand grenades, and NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) threats.
Key Features of the BTR-152V1 Variant
The BTR-152V1 was an improved version of the vehicle, integrating several enhancements that were retrofitted to older models or introduced in new production batches:
- **Central Tire Pressure Regulation System:** This was a crucial feature that allowed the driver to adjust the pressure in all six tires from the cab while moving. This greatly improved the vehicle’s cross-country mobility, particularly over soft terrain like mud or sand. The V1 model is generally associated with an **internal** system of air lines (sometimes confused with the external lines of the BTR-152V).
- **Front-Mounted Winch:** The V1 incorporated a powerful mechanical winch at the front bumper, housed in a special casing, to aid in self-recovery or towing other vehicles, significantly improving its operational autonomy.
- **Night Vision Equipment:** The driver was equipped with night vision devices to facilitate movement and operation in low-light conditions.
- **Armament:** Typically, a single **7.62 mm SGMB machine gun** or sometimes a heavier **12.7 mm DShK heavy machine gun** was mounted on a pintle mount above the cab for fire support. The troop compartment also featured firing ports on the sides and rear doors, allowing infantry to engage targets from inside the vehicle.
