Yugoslavian Wheeled APCs (131 words)
Notes: This light wheeled APC is found in service only with the various former Yugoslavian republics, and in Croatia, they have been mostly replaced with the LOV APC.
The BOV can be mistaken at a distance with the basic version of the LAV-150, and is in fact roughly the same size and shape as that vehicle.
There are 4 known variants, with the antiaircraft versions (BOV-3 and BOV-30) being more common by 2000 than the APC or ATGM carriers.
