Notes | The BA-64 was light scout car which was designed for scout and liaison work. It was built on the chassis of the light 4x4 GAZ-64 and incorporated an open topped compartment which mounted a single machine gun for local defense. In 1943 an improved version was produced and this was built on the chassis of the GAZ-67. This variant was called the BA-64B and had a larger wheel base and revolving turret and both variants saw extensive use during world war two. |
