There was a video of the evacuation of the Russian BTR-82A by a Turkish tractor in Syria

A video appeared on the web as a Turkish military tractor towed a Russian BTR-82A in the Idlib de-escalation zone in Syria. Actions took place on the M4 highway during joint patrols by Turkish and Russian military personnel.

According to militants, the Russian armored personnel carrier was damaged as a result of a collision with a makeshift explosive device. In this case, if you do not look closely, then apparently no damage is visible. Therefore, some users suggested that some kind of armored personnel carrier technical a malfunction, since even having damaged one of the wheels, he still has seven left. In addition, the BTR-82A can move with punched wheels.



However, if you look closely, you can see the rags of rubber hanging from the left rear wheel of the APC. Therefore, there is a high probability that the APC was indeed damaged by the IED. The dead or injured Russian troops are not reported.
