| SKOT is a Czech/Polish APC...they didn't want the BTR 60 as it was viewed as a death trap by soldiers and too hard to get in and out of. Petrol as well with two engines. The SKOT is accessed via doors at the rear and is a diesel, a better designed vehicle than it's Soviet counterpart indeed!  | |
