The [[BTR-152]] and [[BTR-40]], the first two Soviet mass-produced [[Armoured personnel carrier|APCs]] developed after the [[Second World War]], gave the [[Soviet Army]] useful experience with wheeled armoured personnel carriers. However, even as they were designed, they weren't suited for the needs of the Soviet Army as they lacked a roof (which was added in later versions designated BTR-152K and BTR-40B respectively). The low combat values of the [[BTR-152]] and [[BTR-40]] were exposed when the [[Egyptian Army]] used them during the [[Suez Crisis]]. This was one of the reasons why the new APC was developed.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1">Czołgi Świata, Issue 41, pp 1, 2</ref>
Between 1956 and 1957, a decision was made to convert all rifle and mechanized divisions into motor rifle divisions and a requirement for a new transport vehicle was drawn up.
[[
Development proceeded along two paths: a more expensive vehicle that would eventually become the [[BMP-1]], for use in tank divisions, and a cheaper vehicle for use in motor rifle divisions, that would eventually become the BTR-60. Two design bureaus were given the requirements, GAZ led by V. A. Dedkov,<ref name="Pancerni 1">[http://www.pancerni.abajt.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=37 Pancerni 1] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002215227/http://www.pancerni.abajt.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=37 |date=2011-10-02 }}. Pancerni.abajt.pl. Retrieved on 21 September 2011.</ref> and ZiL led by Rodionov and Orlov. The requirements stated that the vehicle should have all wheel drive, at least two turnable axles, independent suspension as well as mobility and fording capabilities allowing it to operate alongside tanks. The vehicle was also supposed to be amphibious.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> The GAZ design team started to work on the new APC during the winter of 1956. Despite the fact that the army wanted a fully roofed vehicle with NBC protection system, the GAZ design did not have those features. It was argued that firing from the cramped interior would be difficult and that the limitation of losses wasn't a priority.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> The prototype was built between 1957 and 1958.<ref name="Pancerni 1"/> ZiL developed a 6x6 design, the ZiL-153, similar in hull shape to the GAZ design. There were also three other 8x8 prototypes: Ob'yekt 560 (also known as MMZ-560<ref name="JED Ob'yekt">[http://www.jedsite.info/misc/oscar/obyekt_series/obyekt-series.html JED Ob'yekt]. Jedsite.info. Retrieved on 21 September 2011.</ref>), Ob'yekt 1015 (developed by KAZ<ref name="JED Ob'yekt"/>), Ob'yekt 1015B (developed by KAZ,<ref name="JED Ob'yekt"/> it had with a turret-mounted armament and stream propellers,<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> also known as BTR-1015B<ref name="JED Ob'yekt"/>) and Ob'yekt 1020B (developed by KAZ<ref name="JED Ob'yekt"/>). All prototypes were submitted to and passed state trials in 1959. Even though the Ob'yekt 1015B performed best, the GAZ design was selected and given the designation BTR-60P.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/><ref name="Pancerni 1"/> Officially, the committee that made the decision did so because of the GAZ plant's production capabilities and experience. The main reason was that the GAZ design was the simplest and cheapest one and introduced the lowest amount of technological advancements, which made it easier to put into mass production.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/>
BTR-60P had open-roofed crew and troop compartments, which was deemed to be a serious disadvantage. Accordingly, a new version with an armoured roof, designated BTR-60PA, entered production in 1963. This new version's capacity was reduced from 16 soldiers to 14 soldiers.
Baris 51:
The appearance of the German [[HS.30]] APC, which was armed with a 20 mm cannon, prompted the addition of the conical BPU-1 turret. This turret, which was originally developed for the [[BRDM-2]] amphibious armoured scout car, was armed with the KPVT 14.5 mm heavy machine gun and a PKT 7.62 mm tank machine gun. The new vehicle was designated the BTR-60PAI and entered production in 1965. It was, however, quickly replaced by the BTR-60PB, which had a better sighting system for the machine guns.

BTR-60 was a revolutionary design for its time.<ref name="Pancerni 1"/><ref name="Pancerni 2">[http://www.pancerni.abajt.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=37&limit=1&limitstart=1 Pancerni 2] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002215234/http://www.pancerni.abajt.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=37&limit=1&limitstart=1 |date=2011-10-02 }}. Pancerni.abajt.pl. Retrieved on 21 September 2011.</ref> It had a non-standard layout for an [[Armoured personnel carrier|APC]]; the crew compartment was in the front, the troop compartment in the middle and the engine compartment in the rear.<ref name="Pancerni 1"/> This meant that, while the BTR-60 didn't share some of the weaknesses that other APCs had, it had several disadvantages of its own.
===
[[
In the BTR-60, the crew compartment is located in the front of the vehicle and had a roof - unlike the troop compartment, which first received one with the introduction of the BTR-60PA. In the BTR-60P and BTR-60PA, the crew consists of a driver and a commander. The driver's seat is on the left and commander's seat is on the right. In the BTR-60PAI, BTR-60PB and BTR-60PZ, the crew consists of a driver, a commander and a gunner. The position of the driver and commander stations remained unchanged in later models. The gunner operates the BPU-1 turret, using the PP-61A optical sight. In the BTR-60P, both the driver and commander manned their positions by entering the vehicle through the sides. The BTR-60PA introduced two hatches over their stations and crew members had to climb on top of the vehicle to use them. The entry method did not change in later production models. The BTR-60B introduced a side door for the gunner on the right side, and firing ports for both the driver and commander, and two for the gunner, one on each side. (For more information on the BTR-60's firing port see the [[BTR-60#Troop compartment|troop compartment section]]). Both the driver and the commander have forward views through bulletproof windshields, onto which steel covers can be lowered. In the BTR-60P and BTR-60PA, the covers had vision slots, and additional slots on both sides of the crew compartment. These were removed in the BTR-60PB in favor of two periscopes on each side.{{clarify|date=May 2014|reason=Unclear whether this means: i) 2 periscopes, 1 per side; or ii) 4 periscopes, 2 per side}} In early models of the BTR-60P and BTR-60PA, only the driver had a periscope<!--my guess at the missing word-->, while the commander had a removable OU-3 infrared searchlight. In the BTR-60PB, both the driver and the commander have three periscopes in the front (the commander's center periscope can be hard to see as it's just below the OU-3 infrared light). The vehicle was usually equipped with an R-113 radio; however,some models used the R-123. The initial BTR-60P production model lacked night-vision and had only four headlights (two infrared, two white, one of each kind per side, these remained in all BTR-60 models). Late BTR-60P models were fitted with night-vision; the TKN-1 connected with the OU-3 infrared searchlight for the commander and the TWN-2 for the driver. This remained unchanged in later models.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/><ref name="Pancerni 1"/>
=== Troop compartment ===
The troop compartment is behind the crew compartment and in front of the engine compartment. The BTR-60P can transport up to 16 fully equipped soldiers. This number reduced to 14 in BTR-60PB. As the BTR-60P didn't have a roof, it was covered with a tarpaulin when traveling in bad weather conditions. It was also covered with bows and canvas. Also, all BTR-60 models had three firing ports on each upper side of the hull through which the infantry being transported could fire at the enemy with their personal weapons. The difference between models was in the position of these three firing ports. The BTR-60P and BTR-60PA had the firing ports positioned in a row between the middle and the front part of the troop compartment. In the BTR-60PB, the firing ports were relocated; one was next to the driver and commander, one next to the gunner and one in the side of the troop compartment.<ref name="Pancerni 1"/><ref name="softland 1"/>
Because of the engine placement (in the rear of the vehicle), transported infantry must mount and dismount through the sides in the BTR-60P or through the roof hatches in the roofed BTR-60PA, BTR-60PB, and BTR-60PZ variants. To help the infantry to mount and dismount the vehicle, the BTR-60P had two steps on each side of the hull, one between the first and second pair of road wheels and the other between the third and fourth pair of wheels. It also had two vertical hand rails on each side of the troop compartment, as well as an angled horizontal one on the left-hand side of the hull next to the engine compartment. The BTR-60PA introduced yet another step on each side of the hull between the second and third pair of wheels, as well as six horizontal hand rails on each side of the vehicle, three on the lower side and three on the upper side. The vertical ones were removed, while yet another angled horizontal one was added on the right-hand side of the hull next to the engine compartment. In the BTR-60PB, the number of hand rails decreased from six to five on each side of the hull; the rear upper hand rail was removed from he right side, whereas the center upper one was removed from the left side. The BTR-60P has two doors on each side of the troop compartment (one in the front and one in the rear), but infantry still had to dismount through the sides.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> The side doors were removed in the BTR-60PA.<ref name="JED The Military Equipment Directory"/> They were used mostly as emergency exits and as auxiliary firing ports. In the BTR-60PB, a side door was added on the front left of the troop compartment.

The hull armour is made from welded steel and provides protection against [[small arms]] fire and [[Shrapnel shell|shrapnel]].<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/><ref name="Pancerni 1"/> The frontal armour can withstand 7.62 mm bullets from any range. The rest of the armour can withstand 7.62 mm bullets from a range of 100 m.<ref name="Pancerni 1"/>

=== Maneuverability ===
The BTR-60 has a 8x8 suspension. Originally, there were difficulties in finding a suitable engine for it: the six-cylinder GAZ-40P gasoline engine, which produces 90 hp, had insufficient power, while the 205-hp YaAZ-206B was too heavy. Instead, the BTR was fitted with two six-cylinder gasoline GAZ-40P<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> engines (67 kW)<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/><ref name="Pancerni 1"/><ref name="Gary's Combat Vehicle Reference Guide"/><ref name="Pancerni 2"/><ref name="opfor"/><ref name="JED The Military Equipment Directory"/> located side by side in the rear of the vehicle. The combined power of the engines is 180 hp (134 kW). Each engine propels two of the vehicle's axles. The engine on the right propels the second and the fourth axles, while the one on the left propels the first and the third axles. Each engine has its own four-speed [[gear box]] with a single-shielded hydraulically controlled [[clutch]] and an exhaust. Each axle has its own [[differential (mechanical device)|differential]] and is hung on transversal torsion bars. The first two axles each have two hydraulic absorbers, while the third and fourth only have one. The first and second pair of wheels can be turned. The gaps between the first and second axles and between the third and fourth axles are even. The gap between the second and third axles is slightly larger than the other ones.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/><ref name="Pancerni 1"/><ref name="Gary's Combat Vehicle Reference Guide"/><ref name="JED The Military Equipment Directory"/>
The two-engines setup has an advantage in the fact that each engine could work without the other. This means that, if one engine is disabled, it doesn't affect the other one and the vehicle can still move, albeit with reduced speed. This setup, however, caused several problems that either do not exist in single-engined vehicles or weren't as serious: the design itself was complicated and the amount of work that had to be done during exploitation and repair was higher than in vehicles with a single engine. The engines themselves were originally intended for truck use, which meant that they were working in extreme conditions not originally envisioned for them. Because of this, engine breakdowns were frequent. The vehicle also used large amounts of fuel and caught fire easily. Despite all this, the two-engines setup was used in all BTR-60 production models as well as most variants of the [[BTR-70]]. The single-engine setup was introduced in the BTR-80.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/>
[[
=== Amphibious capability ===
The BTR-60 is fully [[amphibious vehicle|amphibious]], propelled in the water by a jet centrally mounted at the rear of the hull.<ref name="Pancerni 1"/> It was, however, prone to breakdowns.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> When not in use, it is protected by the sideways opening lids. Before entering the water, the trim vane at the front of the hull should be erected to prevent water from flooding over the bow. While in its traveling position, it serves as additional lower frontal armor.

== Production history ==
BTR-60''s'' were produced by [[Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod]] (GAZ). The BTR-60P was produced between 1960 and 1963.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> The BTR-60PA entered production in 1963,<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/><ref name="opfor"/> followed by the BTR-60PA-1 in 1965. Both the BTR-60PA and BTR-60PA-1 were produced until 1966.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> The BTR-60PAI also entered production in 1965,<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> but was quickly replaced in 1966 by the BTR-60PB, which had a better sighting system for the machine guns. The BTR-60PB remained in production until 1976, when it was superseded by the [[BTR-70]].<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> According to Western estimates, around 25,000 BTR-60''s'' were produced by GAZ.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 4"/> During BTR-80 production, and therefore after BTR-60 production had ended, there was a special production run of 100 BTR-60PB''s'', some of which have been exported to Iraq.<ref name="JED The Military Equipment Directory"/>
== Sejarah penggunaan ==
=== Uni Soviet
An order to enter the BTR-60P into Soviet Army service was issued on 13 December 1959. However, production didn't start until 1960.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> The first BTR-60P''s'' were delivered in 1960. It first entered service with the [[Soviet Army]] and later the Soviet naval infantry. The BTR-60 entered service with the Soviet military at the time when the USSR was arming on a mass scale.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 1"/> In the early 1960s, it replaced the BTR-152 in the role of the basic APC. The BTR-60P was first seen by the West in 1961. The BTR-60PA entered service with the Soviet Army in 1963, the BTR-60PA-1 and BTR-60PAI entered service in 1965, the BTR-60PB in 1966, the BTR-60PZ in 1972 and theBTR-60PBK in 1975. As newer models of the BTR-60 appeared, the older ones were gradually withdrawn from front-line service. A number of old BTR-60P''s'' were converted into repair vehicles.<ref name="JED The Military Equipment Directory"/>
The first use of Soviet BTR-60''s'' during a conflict happened during the Warsaw Pact [[1968 Invasion of Czechoslovakia]]. However, actual combat was scarce.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 4">Czołgi Świata, Issue 41, pp 11, 12</ref><ref name="Otechestvennye koljosnye bronetransportjory BTR-60, BTR-70, BTR-80 p. 30">{{cite book
In the 1980s, most of the BTR-60''s'' in the Soviet army had been replaced by the BTR-70 and BTR-80; however, a large number was still operated by second-line and border troops. According to the data provided by the USSR during the signing of the [[CFE Treaty]] in 1990, there were 4,191 BTR-60''s'' in service with the units stationed in the European part of the Soviet Union.<ref name="Otechestvennye koljosnye bronetransportjory BTR-60, BTR-70, BTR-80 p. 27">{{cite book
==== Sino-Soviet border conflict ====
The first real combat use of the BTR-60 took place during the [[Sino-Soviet border conflict]] on [[Zhenbao Island]] (Damansky Island at the time) in March 1969. The frontier units operating on the island were equipped with BTR-60PB''s'', while the 57th border detachment group was equipped with BTR-50P''s'' and BTR-50PK''s''. The BTR-60 proved to be a good vehicle, although it sustained high losses due to the large number of RPGs used by the Chinese and mistakes made by the commanders of the APCs, which originated from the low amount of experience in combat use of the new vehicles.<ref name="Otechestvennye koljosnye bronetransportjory BTR-60, BTR-70, BTR-80 p. 32">{{cite book
The high losses due to RPG hits wasn't unexpected, as the BTR-60's armour was designed to protect the vehicle from small arms fire and shrapnel, and not specialized anti-tank weapons. The most effective tactic found for using BTR-60PB''s'' was in covering the dismounted infantry.<ref name="Otechestvennye koljosnye bronetransportjory BTR-60, BTR-70, BTR-80 p. 32"/> This is a job more suited for infantry fighting vehicles than armoured personnel carriers, whose main role is transporting infantry to the battlefield and providing them with armour protection during that time - however, it must be noted that the [[BMP-1]], the world's first infantry fighting vehicle, started production in 1966 and therefore Soviet Army had very small numbers of those vehicles available at the time of Sino-Soviet border conflict. During the fights in March, the Chinese managed to capture four BTR-60PB''s'' and one T-62 MBT.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 4"/>
BTR-60PB''s'' were used again during the border conflict east of [[Lake Zhalanashkol]] in [[Kazahstan]] ([[Kazakh SSR]] at the time) in August 1969. During the fighting, the armour of BTR-60PB proved inadequate.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 4"/><ref name="Otechestvennye koljosnye bronetransportjory BTR-60, BTR-70, BTR-80 p. 34">{{cite book
[[
==== Soviet War in Afghanistan ====
The BTR-60PB was used in large numbers during the initial part of the [[Soviet War in Afghanistan]]. This was because the units that were originally used for this operation weren't the top priority of the Soviet military, which prioritized the units stationed in East Germany. The same design flaws were present during this conflict and the vehicle became even more vulnerable due to the kind of fighting that took place in Afghanistan. The GAZ-40P gasoline engines experienced frequent power losses and overheating due to the tropical highland climate that they were not well suited for. Also, the BTR-60PB's turret could not elevate its armament high enough to fire at the Mujahideen attacking from high ground. Like during the Sino-Soviet border conflict, many BTR-60PB''s'' fell victim to RPGs. Because of those drawbacks, the BTR-60PB''s'' were replaced by BTR-70''s'' as soon as possible to a point were only the BTR-60 command variants were used.<ref name="Otechestvennye koljosnye bronetransportjory BTR-60, BTR-70, BTR-80 p. 34"/>
==== Other operational use ====
Soviet BTR-60''s'', BTR-70''s'' and BTR-80''s'' were used for dispersing the demonstrations in [[Tbilisi]] in 1989 and stopping the fighting on the border between [[Uzbek SSR]] and [[Kirghiz SSR]]. They were also used in Nagorno-Karabakh and South Ossetia. In 1990, they were used in [[Vilnius]] to suppress the Lithuanian independence movements.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 5">Czołgi Świata, Issue 41, pp 12, 13</ref>
==== Soviet Union successor states ====
In 1991, the BTR-60''s'' of the Soviet Army was passed on to the armies of the successor states and thus used in many regional conflicts. 27 BTR-60PBs<ref name="Czołgi Świata 5"/> that were inherited by Moldavia were used by its army during the [[War of Transnistria]]. A number of BTR-60''s'' were used by the Georgian army during the 1992–1993 [[War in Abkhazia (1992–93)|War in Abkhazia]].<ref name="VM2 49">{{cite book
As of 2007, several hundred BTR-60''s'' remain in service with USSR successor states; these are in a process of being replaced by more modern vehicles.<ref>Military Balance 2007</ref>
=====
Russia used BTR-60s during the [[First Chechen War]], but since the mid-1990s BTR-60s have only been in use with the border troops.<ref name="Otechestvennye koljosnye bronetransportjory BTR-60, BTR-70, BTR-80 p. 34"/>
In Russian service, many BTR-60 variants have been replaced by variants of the BTR-80/K1Sh1 or have been upgraded with the engines from the [[BTR-80]].
===== Moldova =====
Moldova inherited 27 BTR-60PB''s'' from the Soviet Union. They were used during the [[War of Transnistria]] against the [[Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic]].<ref name="VM2 49"/> Moldova also ordered 161 ex-Romanian TAB-71M''s'' in 1992, which were delivered between 1992 and 1995.<ref name="SIPRI"/> Moldova also inherited 20 BTR-70''s'' from the Soviet Union and received 250 TAB Zimbru''s'' and MLI-84''s'' from Romania.{{Citation needed|date=July 2012}} In the end of March 1992, the Moldavian army was trying to sever the connection between [[Tiraspol]] and [[Rîbniţa]]. Five out of the six BTR''s'' used during that operation were lost. On 1 April, two BTR''s'' were used during the assault on [[Bender, Moldova|Bender]]. In June, dozen of APCs were used during another assault on the city.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 5"/>
===== Georgia =====
In 1992, the separatist state of Abkhazia declared Independence from Georgia and the [[War in Abkhazia (1992–1993)]] began. Georgia sent its troops to Abkhazia to stabilize the region. The 3,000 man force was poorly equipped with military vehicles, having only five T-55 main battle tanks, a few BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, three BTR-60/70 armoured personnel carriers and a small number of BM-21 Grad MRLs. As the war continued, the Georgian forces in Abkhazia were strengthened. The rebels had no AFV''s'' of their own, but captured some heavy equipment from the Georgians.<ref name="Czołgi Świata 5"/>
[[
===== Armenia =====
A BTR-60PB of the Armenian police was used on 1 March 2008 during the [[Armenian presidential election protests]] in [[Yerevan]]. It was sent to counter the protest at the Shahumyan Square near the French Embassy, where it arrived at 1:30 pm. Eventually, the unarmed and peaceful demonstrators surrounded the APC, mounted it, and forced its crew to leave the square.
=====
During the ongoing [[War in Donbass]], [[Armed Forces of Ukraine|Ukrainian Military]] used several BTR-60 variants. The [[National Guard of Ukraine|Ukrainian National Guard]], have deployed BTR-60PB's for counter-insurgency operations in Eastern Ukraine.<ref>http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3ABattalion_%22Donbas%22_in_Donetsk_region_04.jpg</ref>
=== Foreign service ===
BTR-60 APCs were employed widely both by the Soviet Army and by more than 30 export customers.<ref name="opfor"/> Operators of the BTR-60 have included Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Bhutan, Botswana, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Congo, Cuba, Djibouti, [[East Germany]], Ethiopia, Finland, Grenada, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Hungary, [[India]], Iran, Iraq, Laos, Libya, Mali, Mongolia, Mexico, Morocco, Mozambique, Nicaragua, North Korea, Romania, [[Soviet Union]], Syria, Uganda, Vietnam, [[Yugoslavia]], Yemen, and Zambia, as well as many of the successor states of the Soviet Union.<ref name="westhorp">Westhorp, Chris (editor), ''The World's Armies: An Illustrated Review of the Armies of the World'', Salamander Press, c. 1991, ISBN 0-517-05240-7</ref> The most widely spread model is the BTR-60PB.
Although the BTR-60 still remains in service with many of the world's armies, it is almost never used as an APC any more. They are still being used as mobile command posts, artillery forward observation posts, airplane guidance posts, communication posts and many other specialized roles.<ref name="Pancerni 2"/>
Baris 194:
The BTR-60 has seen action in the [[Yom Kippur War]], the 1971 War between India and Pakistan (where it was used very effectively to punch a hole through to [[Jessore]] and subsequently [[Khulna]]), the [[Soviet invasion of Afghanistan]] (where it was used by both the Soviet and Afghan government troops), the Chechen and Yugoslav wars. It was also used by Warsaw Pact forces during the 1968 [[Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia]].<ref name="Pancerni 2"/>

Finland's Jäger battalions operated Soviet-built BTR-60R-145BM "Chaika" vehicles. These were upgraded to BTR-60PUM standard between 1996 and 1997. In 1991, seven conscripts of the [[Karelia Brigade]] drowned when their BTR-60 sank at Taipalsaari during an amphibious exercise because the vehicle was loaded incorrectly (top-heavy) and the roof hatches opened.
The usual nicknames for BTR-60 amongst the Finnish conscripts were ''Petteri'' (a male name), after the initials BTR, and ''Taipalsaaren sukellusvene'' (Taipalsaari Submarine) after the 1991 incident.

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]. Globalsecurity.org. Retrieved on 21 September 2011.</ref> The experience gained through reverse-engineering the BTR-60 helped the PRC in developing other more advanced wheeled APCs later in the 1980s.

* '''BTR-60PA''' (1963) – This version has an armoured roof over the troop compartment. It is fitted with improved 'closed-down' vision devices for the crew. Behind the commander's and driver's hatches is a single rear-opening rectangular hatch in front of which is a single mount for the [[DShK|DShK 1938/46]] 12.7 mm heavy machine gun between the two circular crew hatches at the front of the personnel compartment and two optional mounts for 7.62 mm machine guns (either the [[PKT]], the [[SGMB]] or the PKB tank/medium/general-purpose machine guns) on each side of the roof of the personnel compartment. Early production BTR-60PAs only had a single mount for the 7.62 mm machine gun between the two circular crew hatches at the front of the personnel compartment. The small doors on each side of the hull that were present in the BTR-60P were removed. The BTR-60PA introduced collective NBC protection system to the series. It has six handrails on the each side, in rows of three. The personnel compartment has two rectangular hatches. The fact that the roof has been added makes passengers more vulnerable to enemy fire while they're exiting the vehicle through the top hatches. Also, the gunner must be at least shoulder high out of the vehicle to operate the weapons. The vehicle carries 500 rounds for the [[DShK|DShK 1938/46]] 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and 3,000 rounds for 7.62 mm machine guns. The weight of the vehicle increased from 9.8 tonnes to 10.2 tonnes.
