unit 196, 049 - KShM R-81, KShM R-80 - The name is translated as the command-staff car (HQ car), it not APC.


It would be much less a headache if you were a BIT more accurate in your complaints.

You list two units.

Unit 196, is, in the Bulgarian OOB, classed as a "Light APC" and the "Light APC" class in the Bulgarian OOB is the class the "command cars" are grouped under so having Unit 196 named KShM R-81 would be accurate because a KShM R-81 is a ...."Bulgarian staff vehicle with additional observers cupola, boxes and generator aft"

Unit 49 is, in the Bulgarian OOB, classed as a "Light support APC" and "Light support APC" in the Bulgarian OOB is only used by the "Recce Platoon". Here you are correct, a KShM R-80 is a ......" Bulgarian command vehicle" so the correct designation for unit 49 should be "MT-LBO" as that is the Bulgarian designation for the MT-LB
