- says the Defensa edition.

According to the author, the defense industry offers this product to the country's military department and foreign customers as a replacement for the outdated Soviet MT-LB.

MGT-LB ("Product 6448") is a lightweight tracked vehicle that has received a number of interesting solutions aimed at creating an inexpensive product. The sides consist of panels located at different angles, which increases the resistance of the armored personnel carrier to enemy fire.

The undercarriage consists of six wheels (on each side), driven by a rubber track, which creates less noise when driving. In the front there are large windows with thick armored glass to enhance the view. On the roof there is a remotely controlled combat module equipped with a 12.7mm Kord machine gun and 4 PU for smoke bombs.

A metal frame covers the sides of the undercarriage, and in the aft part there is a door for landing. Inside there are stretchers for evacuating the wounded and places for medical personnel. However, it is a multi-purpose and versatile platform that can perform various roles.

Прикольно написано про резиновую гусеницу. Может быть следует писать об обрезиненной гусенице. Вроде военное издание, а такие наивные умозаключения у авторов допускают.
