In the second Chechen campaign, along with a mass of various light armored vehicles, the only sample of this veteran armored personnel carrier was involved.

We are talking about the legendary "float" BTR-50, which in foreign armies took part in various military conflicts: in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and even Latin America.

In the Soviet Army, they participated only in Operation Danube - this was the name given to the introduction of the Warsaw Pact formations in the Czechoslovak Republic in August 1968.

As far as we know, the "fifties" were not noticed in the first campaign. But in the second, 1 sample was mobilized to the front of the fight against international terrorism, which arrived in the North Caucasus as part of one of the formations of the Leningrad Military District.

Moreover, it was not just an APC, but a command and staff variant with special equipment. And he had to act not only on the flat terrain, but also in the mountainous part of the republic.

Interestingly, this fact in the combat biography of the BTR-50 is practically unknown to Russian historians of armored vehicles.
