Oz, not from what I have read. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/pt-76.htm

Oh, isn't that nice, another birthday present, from Ripptide no less

ripptide · Jul 7, 2004

thanks all )

ozy, I think the one you may be thinking of was the BMD (as opposed to BMP). That one was air-droppable for use with the Russian Airborne forces.

You a birthday boy today Zeek? If so, happy birthday )

Ah -- thanks for the citation. I was close, but no cigar:

"The popular PT-76 chassis has also been modified for use in many subsequently developed vehicles, including the BTR-50P and OT-62 series of APCs, the ZSU-23-4 self-propelled antiaircraft gun, the ASU-85 airborne assault gun [...]"

Also @Ripptide -- And you, my friend, were also correct -- from the same site MarineCorps provided on the BMD-1: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/bmd-1.htm

Best,

Oz

You're both a creative genius and a comedian. Don't stop making units please.
