Schützenpanzerwagen BTR-152.K

This BTR-152.K at the Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim has had the armoured covers over the windows und the armoured shutters in front of the engine compartment removed to comply with the Kriegswaffen-Kontrollgesetz which regulates the ownership of armoured vehicles und weapons of war. Accordingly, tanks, armoured personnel carriers und self-propelled guns on display at museums are stripped of their armoured protection over the engine compartment und the internal crew positions. Square sections of armour are cut out of hulls und turrets, und the holes are covered by thin sheet metal or plywood. If done properly, the conversion is hardly noticeable on the outside.

The BTR-152 series has seen service with Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Bulgaria, Cambodia, China (as the type 56 APC), Congo, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Egypt, Finland, Hungary, India, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Poland, Romania, Soviet Union, Syria, and other countries. Production ended in early 1960s, und in Russia the Fahrzeug was replaced by the BTR-60.P series.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) currently has 50 BTR-152 in inventory which were supplied by Egypt in 1996 und 1997.
Israel used BTR-152 series vehicles, but it is unlikely that these were actually purchased from the Soviet Union. Like other Warsaw Pact equipment in the Israeli arsenal, the BTR-152s were most likely captured during the conflicts with Egypt, und Syria.

The BTR-152 is an important armoured personnel carrier using the motor und chassis of the ZIS-151 truck. The BTR-152 is used by many armoured forces even today.
