    Looks like the APCs are btr60s, difficult to tell what variant if any.
    Perhaps the tracked is a support variation/wrecker of the t54?

    Defenitly not an BTR 60; the 60 has a double 'teardrop' in the centre ( the propellor cover).
    Plus his back goes down.

    I think it's a BTR 70 on second thought. Because the 70 doesn't have the handles and the towing attachements that the 80 has.

    See attachements.

    Hope this helps.

    Left to right; BTR 80, BTR 60, BTR 70.

    Default Answer to the identification of armoured vehicles

    Hello,

    This is the right identification :

    1. East-German SPW-70 (BTR-70) lifted by a T-72TK (VT-72B).
    2. East-German maintenance vehicle MTP-LB.
    3. East-German BRM-1K.
    4. Russian BMP-2.

    This answer was give by dendirrek member of Army Recognition forum.

    Greetings.

    On the left is Macedonian BTR 80 which were bought in Kazahstan and used in clashes with albanian rebels in march 2001. This one was probably used by SF detachment " Wolfs ", police had some german APCs...

    Greece uses some ex East-German BMP-1 APC though but not BTR family vehicles.

    Normal people when the word / nation / area Macedonia is mentioned think of Republic of Macedonia, not some part of Greece.

    You must mean people that know nothing about history.

    Cause normal people when hear the word "Macedonia" the thing that comes in mind is a Greek ruler named Alexander the Great, who spreaded Greek civilization in the corners of the then "Known World".

    well I have listened that greeks were in war with macedonia for centuries. their greatest enemy was Demostenos. Alexander invaded greece, and perhapse he took something from hellenic culture (including homo******ity tendences called in ancient times hellenic tendences). anyway, today Macedonia is a Nation, free and sovereign, reknown by all the world (excluding perhaps china) and is composed by Macedonians, Albanians, and minorances of greeks, serbs, turks, roma etc.

    Yes you have listened, like all listen from street talks , mainly stupidities, cause you never bothered opening an actual history book.
    Go do some reading before claiming Macedonias were slavs.
