Malian Armed Forces (FAMa): Deliveries shown in Malian defence-ministry material from 2023 and in reporting of a further Russian consignment in January 2025; independent verification of numbers is limited. · Ukraine: Inherited Soviet stock, in service since long before 2022. · Russia: A standard wheeled APC of the Russian ground forces, extensively documented in Ukraine.

Rolle auf dem Gefechtsfeld

In Ukraine, a standard Russian wheeled APC documented throughout the war, with inherited Ukrainian stock alongside. In Mali, reported Russian deliveries re-equip FAMa's intervention columns — the protected mobility on which the hub-and-column model depends.

Stärken

Road speed and range that tracked vehicles cannot match, amphibious capability, and a design cheap enough to be delivered in packages; the BTR-82A adds a stabilised 30 mm cannon.

Einschränkungen

Thin armour and a flat floor: vulnerable to heavy machine guns, RPGs and mines, with side hatches that make dismounting under fire slow. In Ukraine it is among the most frequently documented losses; in Mali the IED threat exposes the same weakness.

Relevanz für Kampagnen

Abgeleitet: Eine beteiligte Organisation dieser Kampagnen hat eine typisierte Ausrüstungszuordnung zu diesem System. Das ist nicht dasselbe wie ein dokumentierter Einsatz des Systems in der Kampagne selbst.
