Have in mind that the BTR's armor is really thin, mean only to protect from small caliber weapons and at long distance, not at short.

BTW in your video you use a lot of mods that could affect also the result.

In any case we'll do a fast check, but in really life BTRs are really vulnerable even to small caliber weapons.

" Despite all improvements the BTR-70 still had a number of shortcomings, including relatively light armor protection, poor means of entry and exit and a pair of petrol engines."

The BTR-70 armor thickness ranges from 7-10mm which can be perforated even by 5,56mm AP rounds at a distance of 350 m.

5.56×45mm NATO M995 armour piercing cartridge can penetrate up to 12 mm (0.47 in) of RHA steel at 100 meters
