The BTR-50 is a Soviet amphibious armored personnel carrier based on the PT-76 light amphibious tank. The BTR-50 was tracked, unlike most representatives of the BTR series, which were wheeled. Like the PT-76, the BTR-50 has a flat, boat-shaped hull.
Unlike the PT-76, it has a new superstructure added to the front of the vehicle.
The engine used in the BTR-50 is a V-6 6-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine developing 240 hp. (179 kW) at 1800 rpm, giving a highway speed of 44 km/h with a range of 400 km.
The BTR-50PK is armed with a 7.62 mm SGMB medium machine gun on a trunnion. This option has a system of protection against weapons of mass destruction.
