The four-wheeled Soviet Broneavtomobil (BA) 64 hull design was loosely modeled after the German Sd.Kfz. 221. Design commenced shortly after the Germans invaded in June 1941, for the purpose of replacing the BA-20, and it was a significant improvement. Its multi-faceted hull gave its crew superior protection; it had a much higher power-to-weight ratio; and placement of its wheels at the extreme corners of the chassis resulted in exceptional manoeuvrability. The type primarily featured a small, one-person, fully-rotating turret with a single 7.62mm DT machine gun. It carried a crew of two up to a top speed of 50 mph, and weighed 2.4 tonnes. First operational in 1942, the Red Army used the type extensively throughout World War II. Cheap and exceptionally reliable, it was the most common Soviet wheeled armoured fighting vehicle to enter service during the war, with over 9,000 manufactured between 1941 and 1946. After the war the type served with many Soviet-aligned nations, and saw service with the North Koreans during the Korean War (1950-1953).
