The BTR-80 is an eight-wheeled, all wheel drive armoured personnel carrier used by Russian troops during the Afghan war.

Consequently, the AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher was added to the BTR turret to increase the firepower, while hull mounted water cans and spare wheels provided an additional ballistic protection.
