I thought of doing a BTR-60 for the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. I haven't see such pictures, so what types actually were sent in?

Hello long_tom

In the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 BTR-60, BTR-60PA and BTR-60PB were in use. There are also photos from the use of these vehicles in August 1968. Also IFV BMP-1 in the invasion were there.

I guess some of these belonged to the Bulgarian Army contigent :











H.P.

Here are some additional photos, to what I have written.

Thanks for posting those. It gives me something interesting to do with my 60P, as photos of them in other than exercises were pretty thin on the ground when I looked originally.

Thanks. Ironically I bought the DEF Model wheels and painted them. But I'm not going to build a BTR-60P but a BTR-60PA. Reason: I'd have to make and stick a gazillion soldiers into the former.

The BTR-60PA's are they Bulgarian as well or Soviet Army ?

Note the short nose on the BMP-1 going past the ally,

early version.

The BTR-60 are Soviet army that BMP-1 are the model 1966, so early version.
