Fiche
Pertinence pour les conflits
Ceci est la fiche unique du catalogue pour ce système. Il est pertinent pour les modules ci-dessous ; le Force Atlas de chaque module montre comment il y est employé.
Opérateurs
Malian Armed Forces (FAMa): Shown among Russian-delivered vehicles in Malian defence-ministry material from 2023; earlier holdings dated from the Soviet period. No count recorded. · Ukraine: Soviet-legacy vehicles in service since 2014; visually documented losses throughout the full-scale war. · Russia: Widely fielded in reconnaissance and rear-area roles.
Rôle sur le champ de bataille
In Ukraine, a reconnaissance and rear-area vehicle on both sides, with losses visually documented since 2014. In Mali, part of the Russian-delivered packages that re-equipped FAMa's mobile columns from 2023. Sixty years on, refurbished stock still soldiers on because it exists in numbers, not because it excels.
Points forts
Light, amphibious and fast on roads, with a small turret carrying a heavy machine gun; simple to maintain and cheap to refurbish from storage, which is why it keeps reappearing in delivery packages.
Limites
Protection against rifle fire only; no mine protection worth the name, a serious weakness on the IED-laced roads of central Mali; obsolete optics. In Ukraine it is documented mostly as a loss rather than as a capability.
Pertinence pour les campagnes
Dérivé : une organisation participant à ces campagnes porte une association d’équipement typée avec ce système. Ce n’est pas la même chose qu’un emploi documenté du système dans la campagne elle-même.
- Campagne de blocus du carburant du JNIM Declared September 2025; eased and reimposed since
via Malian Army (Armée de Terre) (Documented)
Identification visuelle
A low, boat-shaped four-wheeled hull with a small conical turret and no side doors; the pointed bow and the belly-mounted auxiliary wheels distinguish it from the larger eight-wheeled BTR series.
Emploi documenté dans les conflits
UKRAINE–RUSSIA. Losses on both sides visually documented by open-source trackers since 2014; the type is common in rear-area and reconnaissance roles rather than in assault. SAHEL. Shown in Malian defence-ministry footage of Russian deliveries from 2023; reported with intervention columns in the central region. No employment in a named engagement is documented from open sources.
