Den BTR-50 (BTR stands for Bronetransporter (БТР, Бронетранспортер), literally “armored transporter”) is a Soviet amphibious armored personnel carrier (APC) based on the PT-76 light tank. The BTR-50 is tracked, unlike most in the BTR series, which are wheeled. The BTR-50 shares many similarities with two other APCs, the OT-62 TOPAS and the Type 77. While the OT-62 is an improved copy of the BTR-50 developed jointly by Czechoslovakia and Poland, the Type 77, based on the Type 63 amphibious light tank developed by the People’s Republic of China (PRC), is not a copy of the BTR-50.

The BTR-50 is a Soviet-designed amphibious armored personnel carrier that was based on the PT-76 light tank chassis. It was developed in the early 1950s and entered service with the Soviet Army in 1954. It had a flat, boat-shaped hull with a superstructure in the front that housed the driver and the commander. The BTR-50 could carry up to 20 infantrymen in the rear compartment, which was open-topped in the original version. The vehicle was powered by a V-6 diesel engine that gave it a maximum speed of 44 km/h on road and 11 km/h on water. The BTR-50 had no fixed armament, but could mount a 7.62 mm or a 14.5 mm machine gun on a pintle. The BTR-50 was used by many countries in various conflicts, such as the Six-Day War, the Vietnam War, and the Soviet-Afghan War. It was also produced under license by Czechoslovakia and Poland as the OT-62 TOPAS. The BTR-50 was later replaced by more modern APCs, such as the BTR-60 and the BMP-1.
