PTS-M Amphibious Tracked Transport

The PTS-M is a large Soviet amphibious transport vehicle designed to move heavy cargo, troops, and light vehicles across rivers, lakes, and flooded terrain. Its boat-shaped hull allows it to float and navigate in water while still operating effectively on land thanks to its long tracked chassis. It is powered by a high-performance V-46-5 diesel engine from the T-72 tank family, giving it enough strength to carry loads of up to 10–12 tons on land. On land, the PTS-M can reach speeds of over 40 km/h and around 10–12 km/h in water using its dual rear propellers. The elevated cabin with wide rectangular windows provides excellent visibility for the crew, while the spacious interior accommodates large quantities of equipment or dozens of soldiers. A unique and versatile addition to any vehicle collection.
