Tank tractor BTS-2/4 with “hellish thresher” became a fire support vehicle

May 18, 2023

Soldiers of the Russian army in the NVO zone invented a fire support vehicle with high firepower.

A photo of a tank tractor with a 57-mm AZP-57 rapid-fire gun of the S-60 anti-aircraft artillery system was published on the Telegram channel “Turned on the Z War” . The post indicates that this is the result of the Syrian experience, which is already performing tasks in the NVO zone.

It is known that this is so far the only sample on a heavy tracked chassis, which has sufficiently thick armor and good maneuverability. Prior to this, AZP-57 guns were used only on wheeled all-terrain vehicles and on lightly armored MT-LB, as well as MT-Lbu.
