BTR-60: Perbedaan antara revisi

PRC reversed engineered the BTR-60PB after capturing four examples during the [[Sino-Soviet border conflict]] on [[Zhenbao Island]] in March 1969. The program was completed in the late 1970s. However, the vehicle did not enter service in large numbers because the PRC's primitive road system and rugged terrain meant that the wheeled APC wasn't well suited for the Chinese conditions as it lacked the cross country capability of the tracked APCs in the Chinese inventory.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> It should be noted though that, before the [[Sino-Soviet split]], the PRC imported 100 BTR-40''s'' and 100 BTR-152''s'' from the USSR and manufactured copies of those vehicles; and these served with the PLA until the mid-1990s.<ref name="SIPRI"/><ref name="Global Security PRC">[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/china/pla-inventory.htm People's Liberation Army].
