This is excellent! Putting the old hulls to good use as anti-tank gun and howitzer platforms. :-) Logical evolution.

They can start using the older BTR-80's next, and add a bigger turret with bigger gun (say 105mm or so, unlike the 30mm cannons used in normal APC's & IFV's), like the logical evolution of the Stryker APC's in US inventory. It's called the M1128.

The Egyptians at one point used a 122mm gun on top of an (at the time, old) T34 hull. Fought in the six day war I think.

122mm gun was one of the largest caliber used in WWII by Soviets and used by these machines below, from which Egyptians adapted the machine above,

ISU (Ioseph Stalin) 122

KV (Kliment Voroshilov) 122

Wow the Egyptians are a creative bunch no?
idk if a Btr 80 will be able to handle a big gun, depends on the roof structure and internal spaces
Last tank is actually a IS 2

Well you have to reinforce the internal structure to handle the weight of the turret and traverse mechanisms. The Americans are just experimenting with the concept but having issues with recoil. A smaller calibre gun like 75mm (combined with a 30mm) may be more appropriate with ATGM launchers mounted on the side. All depends on role, doctrine and scenario. But wheeled platforms are way more mobile than tracked ones anyday.

The differences externally were minimal. Just the larger calibre gun changed. The later KV's turned into IS designation when the new modern turret (starting with IS2) was introduced, replacing the clunky KV1 turret.

Stalin had Voroshilov either sent away to Gulag or killed, for naming tanks after himself. Tells you why KV turned into IS....:azn:

KV1 chassis is completely different from IS 2 chassis...
Original IS was basically the same is 2 chassis but with the 75mm from t34... by the time of battle of Berlin, the is2 was pounding the dug in panzers in the streets of Berlin... is3 was ready and moving towards Berlin but the war ended, so Stalin thought to hold a military parade In Berlin to show off the is3... the western allied was nothing short of impressed and shocked 8-):p:
yeah the dude probably got sent to gulag, the steel composition was his development so I guess papa Stalin should have let it slide?
That dude even killed of katyusha rocket artillery inventor in 1938
