The BTR-85 is an 8×8 wheeled amphibious armored personnel carrier developed by Artalmashzavod for the Zanitsvan Armed Forces. Introduced into service in 1989, it has become the primary wheeled infantry transport vehicle for Zanitsva, replacing the older BTR-80, which is now being phased out. The BTR-85 represents a significant advancement over its predecessors, incorporating full MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) capabilities and modular design. It offers enhanced all-around protection and survivability, making it a more versatile and robust platform for modern combat scenarios. Thanks to its modularity, it can also be airdropped after its applique armor has been removed, allowing for rapid deployment in various operational environments.

AUTHOR'S NOTES
Since this thing is MRAP-capable, it's got a pretty high ground clearance and COM. So, don't try to dramatically turn this thing above 40 kph. Also it's not actually amphibious because I'm too lazy to add buoyancy.
