The BTR-40 (БТР from Бронетранспортер or Bronetransporter literally armoured transporter.†) is a Soviet non-amphibious wheeled armoured personnel carrier and reconnaissance vehicle. It is often referred to as the Sorokovka in Soviet service. It is also the first mass-produced Soviet APC. It was eventually replaced in the APC role by the BTR-152 and in the scout car role by the BRDM-1.
