About the Vehicle
The BA-64 was influenced by German armored cars encountered during Operation Barbarossa, leading Soviet engineers to create a compact, sloped-armored design suited to rough terrain. Over 9,000 were built during the war, making it one of the most widely used Soviet armored cars. While not intended for heavy combat, its mobility and reliability ensured it saw widespread service across the Eastern Front and beyond.
