BTR-80

For the earlier model seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops, see BTR-60.

The BTR-80 is a Russian 8 wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier that appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

In Game
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the player fights them in "Wolverines!," "Of Their Own Accord," "Contingency," "The Enemy Of My Enemy" and in Special Ops missions Body Count and Homeland Security. It is the primary armored amphibious vehicle of the invading Russian forces.

The BTR-80 is not shielded against EMP, and the doors are electrically controlled, so the vehicle is completely immobilized by the EMP in "Second Sun," trapping any Russian soldiers using them inside.

Trivia

 * These vehicles can not be damaged by bullets, fragmentation grenades, or grenade launchers; however, RPGs, Predator Missiles, AT4s and Semtex can destroy them.
 * If a player attempts to damage this vehicle with the GP-25 or the M203, the message saying "Frag grenades cannot damage this vehicle" will appear.
 * The BTR-80 is incredibly weak against RPGs and anti-armor weapons considering that it's an armored vehicle.
 * Destroying this vehicle in a Special Ops mission such as Body Count with scoring counts as a "Mega-Kill"; 400-8000 points, depending on the way the player destroyed it.
 * The BTR-80 is comparable to the Stryker by the Americans as they are both classified as eight-wheeled APC/IFV with HMGs and/or auto-cannons.
 * In Wolverines!, if the player stands right in front of the BTR, it will not shoot the player.
 * Two BTRs are also seen in The Enemy Of My Enemy, on the side of Makarov's mercenaries, at the very beginning of the level and right before reaching the UAZ-469. Multiple RPG-7s with plenty of ammo are conveniently found near the BTR-80s so they can easily be destroyed along with the Technicals and Little Birds.
 * Also in The Enemy Of My Enemy, if one goes near the BTR's door, the player can see that there is no room inside it.
 * BTR or "БТР" in Russian is an acronym for "Бронетранспортер" which literally translates to Armored Personnel Carrier.
