MT-LB

In the 1950s, the Soviet Central Auto and Tractor Directorate began a development program to replace the AT-P series of artillery tractors (which were based on the ASU-57 airborne self-propelled gun) with a new generation of vehicles. The MT-L was developed to meet this requirement based on the PT-76 amphibious light tank chassis. The MT-LB is the armored variant of the MT-L. Entering production in the early 1970s, it was cheap to build, being based on many existing components, e.g. the engine, which was originally developed for trucks.

It was built at the Kharkiv Tractor Plant[http://tractor-xtz.com/tractor/htz-3n-snegobolotohod/HTZ-3H-road vehicles] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140302161735/http://tractor-xtz.com/tractor/htz-3n-snegobolotohod/ |date=2 March 2014 }} (KhTZ) in Soviet Ukraine, and in Bulgaria.{{cite news|title=US Analyst Expects Bulgaria to Renew Production of BMP Armored Vehicles|url=https://www.novinite.com/articles/125793/US+Analyst+Expects+Bulgaria+to+Renew+Production+of+BMP+Armored+Vehicles|date=1 March 2011|website=Novinite.com|access-date=2 April 2022}}{{cite news|title=Bulgaria has signed contract for sale of 500 MT-LB multirole tracked armored vehicles to Iraq|url=https://www.armyrecognition.com/june_2012_new_army_military_defence_industry_uk/bulgaria_has_signed_contract_for_sale_of_500_mt-lb_multirole_tracked_armoured_vehicles_iraq_1606124.html|date=16 June 2012|website=Army Recognition|access-date=2 April 2022}} Formerly, it was also manufactured under license in Poland by Huta Stalowa Wolahttp://hsw.pl/czytaj/765 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141111174209/http://hsw.pl/czytaj/765 |date=11 November 2014 }} Light Armoured Multipurpose Tracked Tractor MTLB

The crew (a driver and a commander/gunner) sit in a compartment at the front of the vehicle, with the engine behind them.

A small turret at the front of the vehicle fits a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun with 360-degree manual traverse and an elevation of −5 to +30 degrees. The vehicle is lightly armored against small arms and shell splinters with a thickness of {{convert|3|to|10|mm|in|spell=in}} of steel with a maximum of {{convert|14|mm|in}} for the turret front.{{cite web |title=MT-LB Light Armored Multi-purpose Vehicle |url=https://www.inetres.com/gp/military/cv/inf/MT-LB.html |website=www.inetres.com |publisher=Gary's Combat Vehicle Reference Guide |access-date=22 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181007134424/http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/cv/inf/MT-LB.html |archive-date=7 October 2018 |url-status=live }}

Several weapon systems are based on this hull (for example Strela-10 or SNAR-10).

• MT-LB converted into a SPAAG by mounting a ZU-23-2 23×152mm twin anti-aircraft gun on the rear part of the vehicle. The gun had its wheels removed and as such cannot be easily dismounted and used separately. There were at least two variations of this conversion; one with the ZU-23-2 mounted in an open-topped turret, the other with the ZU-23-2 mounted on a platform extending beyond the hull of the MT-LB with a roof for the gun operators. The second version was most likely intended to be used in a fire support role, as the roof would hinder the gun's sights at high elevation.{{cite web|author=Jim Webster |url=http://www.jedsite.info/fulltrack-mike/mike/mtlb_series/iq-zu23/iqzu23.html |title=MT-LB [ZU-23 – Iraq] tracked armoured fire support vehicle |publisher=Jedsite.info |access-date=2013-03-22}}
