Despite their advanced age, Soviet BTR-50 tracked armored personnel carriers are still in service in more than a dozen countries around the world. They are valued for their reliability and simplicity, as well as high mobility characteristics, the ability to swim through water obstacles, for which they were nicknamed "floats" in the Soviet Army.

As you know, the basis for the "fiftieth" was another Russian armored masterpiece, the PT-76 light tank.

During the special military operation, the remaining Russian armored personnel carriers of this model also found work.
