OT-64 armoured wheeled amphibious carrier is a combat and transport vehicle used in mechanised, signal and special units. It was constructed in 1959 and jointly manufactured in Czechoslovakia and Poland, and was introduced into both of these armed forces in 1964. The carrier has been in use in many versions in terms of its weapons and additional equipment.
Originally, the carrier was equipped with a 14.5 mm KPVT machine gun with a coupled 7.62 mm SGMT machine gun, which was later replaced by the 7.62 mm PKT tank machine gun. On some later versions of the OT-64A, the KPVT machine gun was replaced by a 12.7 mm NSV anti-aircraft machine gun. At present, the carrier is being downsized in the Czech military.
