As mentioned above the OT-64 SKOT was a joint venture by Czechoslovakia and Poland to replace the ageing OT-810, itself a clone of the German Sd.Kfz.251 half-track from WWII vintage. What they came up with was broadly similar to the Soviet [[BTR-60]], but unlike the Soviets who focussed on cheapness and ease of mass-production, the Czech-Polish design was more suited to their needs. With diesel engines, fully enncloseable NBC protection, NVD's and capacity for amphibious assault while still-being air-transportable, the SKOT emulated some of the best western APC's that didn't force people to crawl into the vehicle at the exposed sides. Even though they were quickly superceded by the superb [[BMP|BMP-1]] operationally, the SKOT continued to be used well after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The Czechs only replaced them in 2006, while the Poles still use them as support and command vehicles.
