An old OT-64 SKOT armoured personnel carrier sits hidden inside a barn in Poland. A strange location to discover a Cold War-era machine.

The OT-64 was developed in 1959 as a joint project between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Production ran from 1963 to 1971, with about 4,500 units built.

The 8×8 design allowed the vehicle to handle difficult ground, able to float and move across water as well as land.

@ObsidianUrbex Those are post-Cold War NATO colours and markings though.

Likely it had a repaint later on in its service career, they stopped making these in the 1970s

@ObsidianUrbex They were used by postcommunist Poland until replaced by more modern systems.
