Identyfication[edit]

This is not a Russian made BTR-80A, but an Ukrainian BTR-94, because;

  • BTR-80A [1] has only single 30 mm gun turret (2A72)
  • BTR-94 has a twin 23 mm gun turret (BAU-23x2)

BTR on this file has a twin gun turret, that looks very much like BAU-23x2 and this BTR is the same type as this one.

  • Iraqi army has many BTR-80UP and BTR-94 (both made in Ukraine), but doesn't have any Russian made BTR-80A (I never seen such information about Iraqi BTR-80A).

So this BTR is a BTR-94.
