Big Bang Ricochet 026: Russia's BTR-60 APC

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Introduced in 1961, the BTR-60 was Russia's first truly modern armored personnel carrier. It would eventually incorporated a range of impressive features, such as a turret for protection against enemy infantry, drive train redundancy complete with two engines to make it difficult to stop, and one of the biggest troop compartments to ever grace an APC, holding 16 men! By the time construction of BTR-60's ceased in the 1980's, the BTR-60 had become one of the most common armored fighting vehicles in the world, surpassing even the Sherman tank's 50,000+ unit production run, and being second only to the M113 Gavin's 130,000+ units worldwide.

This issue of Big Bang Ricochet details more than two dozen variants of the BTR-60, with stats suitable for most of them. In addition, we provide a new Turret entry for the Ukrainian BAU-23x2 Fighting Module. We also include a Big Bang entry for the 2A7 series 23mm automatic cannon, covering all three variants of the weapon, plus five types of ammunition. 8 pages of content.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
