The MT-L (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist., literally "multi-purpose towing vehicle light") is a Soviet multi-purpose, fully amphibious, tracked vehicle in use since the 1960s. It was further developed into the armoured MT-LB, that saw more widespread use in a great number of versions.
Development
In the 1950s, the Soviet Central Auto and Tractor Directorate began a development program to replace the AT-P series of artillery tractors (which were based on the ASU-57 airborne self-propelled gun) with a new generation of vehicles. The MT-L was developed to meet this requirement based on the PT-76 amphibious light tank chassis and automotive components. The MT-LB is the armored variant of the MT-L.
