BTR-50K

The BTR-50PK is based on the same chassis as the PT-76B light amphibious tank and was introduced in the early 1950s. The BTR-50 has a new superstructure attached to the chassis with a crew compartment in the front, troop compartment in the middle and engine compartment at the rear. It served in the motorised rifle regiments of tank divisions and mechanised brigades of the Soviet and East German armies. Like the PT-76B, the BTR-50PK is also amphibious with the same, flat, boat shaped hull.
