Tthe BA-64 was a 4×4 light armoured car, employed by the Soviet Army from 1942 into the early 1960s for reconnaissance and liaison tasks. The BA-64B was nicknamed ‘Bobik’ by its crews. The total recorded number of BA-64s produced differs even in Russian sources. The most frequently-stated figures are 9,110 (3,901 BA-64 and 5,209 BA-64B) vehicles which were built in the GAZ automobile plant, although a memorial plaque near the pictured Nizhny Novgorod car states 9,063 cars. The Red Army representatives accepted only 8,174 BA-64s, including 3,390 with radio sets; the other vehicles were transferred to NKVD units and Soviet allies.

Tthe BA-64 (from Russian: Bronirovaniy Avtomobil, literally “armoured car”) was a Soviet four-wheeled armoured scout car developed in 1941 to replace the obsolete BA-20. It was the first Soviet four-wheel-drive armoured car and became the most common Soviet wheeled fighting vehicle in WWII.
Design and Role
- Chassis Base: Built on the chassis of the GAZ-64 or later 가즈-67 jeep, granting it excellent off-road mobility and high reliability.
- Hull Design: It featured a multi-faceted, sloped hull loosely modeled after the German Sd. Kfz. 221, which provided superior protection against small arms fire and shell fragments compared to older Soviet designs.
- Primary Role: Used for reconnaissance, liaison, transporting officers, and later successfully in urban combat due to its machine gun’s high elevation angle, useful for engaging targets on upper floors.
- Nickname: It was affectionately nicknamed “Bobik” by Soviet soldiers.
