The recordWhat this system is, where it comes from, who operates it and which of Vigil’s modules it is relevant to — with the evidence each of those rests on.
Record
Conflict relevance
This is the catalogue's single record for this system. It is relevant to the module below; each module's Force Atlas shows how it is used there.
Battlefield role
The ubiquitous mechanised-infantry workhorse on both sides of the front.
Strengths
Available in enormous numbers; amphibious; the 30 mm autocannon remains effective against infantry and light vehicles.
Limitations
Thin armour that modern ATGMs, mines and FPV drones defeat easily; infantry frequently ride on top rather than inside for survivability — a verdict on the design.
Campaign relevance
Derived: a participant organisation in these campaigns carries a typed equipment association with this system. That is not the same as documented use of the system in the campaign itself.
- The Ukrainian counteroffensives, 2022–2023 September 2022 – November 2023
via Ground Forces (Documented, high confidence)
- The eastern attritional campaign Since April 2022
via Ground Forces (Documented, high confidence)
Visual identification
Long, low hull with a pointed bow; small centrally-mounted turret with a long thin 30 mm cannon; six road wheels and rear troop-compartment doors.
Documented conflict use
Documented in combat on both sides throughout the war; among the highest visually confirmed loss counts of any vehicle type.
