Not gonna lie, the MTLB is kinda adorable scooting around all flat and such.
-
It's important to note that the MTLB is used as a basis for many, many other russian systems and may be counted in other sections of oryx. Additionally, it's likely quite a bit of cannibalism of the chassis is occurring to keep other system in operation
-
This series has taught me to never make covert kabal mad at me
-
MTLB has been the mainstay of the forest services in the former USSR, along with Mi-8. Much of the firefighting work in Siberia in the summer was done with it.
-
Ah, the MT-LB...the M113 of the East, lol. Just a tracked workhorse.
-
" Dont worry Ivan, we still have Chinese golfcarts and motorbikes "
-
there are so many experts and news agencies that quote and reference your videos, you have become the information source! keep it up!
-
MT-LBs are basically the Warsaw Pact's version of the M113. A simple, rugged, reliable metal box that were produced in the thousands with dozens of variants and derivative vehicles for almost any role. Both are no longer produced but are still in service in many militaries around the world. Russia clearing out their stocks of MT-LBs would be akin to the US running low on M113s. Shows how intense and costly the Ukraine war has been for Russia.
-
from "easy peasy 3 day operation" to "full power trench war depleting the strategic stocks"... what a time.
-
It belongs in a museum.
-
The good old Pansarbandvagn 401 (Pbv 401). After the German reunification Sweden bought over a 1000 MT-LB and named them Armored tracked vehicle 401 (Pbv 401). They did good work but now almost all are gone. I know some civilians got some and I have seen some used as targets.
-
The M113 is the American equivalent in its versatility. Like the M113, the MT-LB has variants for pretty much every mission. I got to drive one as OPFOR at the National Training Center. It is incredibly crude, but in a way that makes it incredibly easy to maintain. It has a manual transmissio, but no clutch. You simply slam it into gear. There really isn't much room. I was the shortest in my Platoon and the only one that could sit up straight without hitting my head on the top deck.

Bring on the Tactical Chinese Golf Carts!
-
I mean, seeing russians resorting to golfcarts and old motorbikes tells you everything you need to know about the shortage of troop transports
-
There are a lot of people blogging in this war but is most unusual that I encounter one who has something both interesting and informative to say. Thank you.
-
The mtlb is so overlooked even though its such a major work horse that gets practically no love
-
In the mid-nineties when we went to a collective farm as schoolchildren (a sort of summer camp with field work weeding the cabbage fields thrown on top), an mtlb was used to ferry us across a ford :)
-
great content as usual, is it possible to have a outline map of russia in one of the corners and putting a dot on the map when addressing the individual bases? it would be interesting to see easily where these bases are located
-
Are you saying they are... MT? hours no one got in before me
