The engine compartment is made of aluminum, while the crew compartment is made of steel; this was done largely due to the engine and fuel tanks in the front causing its center of mass to shift closer to the front.

		+	By default, the BTR-47 is unarmed, though it can be modified to carry a remotely-operated 12.7 mm machine gun, or into an ATGM carrier with 4 ATGMs. This comes at the cost of removing all 6 passenger seats due to safety concerns.

	The BTR-47 entered service with the Dorislavian Ground Forces in 2154. Produced from 2153 to 2173, it was their primary armored personnel carrier until the introduction of [tbd] in 2160. It saw limited use in the Zimori War of Independence, where its vulnerability to attacks from above became obvious, though this was already known nearly two decades at that point. Zimoris on rooftops or floors above ground would wait for a BTR-47 to come in, then surprise them with grenades or incendiary bottles, killing the crew. Crews attempted to fix this problem by building and making makeshift roofs made from tarp or roofs from destroyed homes; however, this made the already cramped interior even more cramped. Metal sheets provided adequate protection from fire bottles, but not small arms fire or grenades. Its 4x4 configuration also meant that if it lost a wheel, crew members would have to abandon the vehicle or risk getting shot trying to replace a popped tire with a spare wheel.

−	The '''BTR-47''' (full name '''Personnel Carrier, Wheeled, BTR-47''') is a Dorislavian open-top wheeled armored personnel carrier. Originally an airborne APC of Belanirislavian origin whose development was halted due to its schematics falling into Dorislavian hands when they seized ~~Boryet~~, development resumed after the war to arm the newly-reestablished Dorislavian Ground Forces with a basic troop transport vehicle.

		+	== Development ==
		+	AAZ began developing the BTR-47 (internal name AAZ-E47 Open-top Compact Armored Personnel Carrier) in 2147. The concept was designed to be compact and suitable for use in tight spaces, while also being able to be loaded into strategic airlifters. It would also lack weapons by default, though it could be optionally fitted with a 12.7 mm remotely-operated machine gun. AAZ submitted a proposal for a compact, airborne open-top armored personnel carrier to the Ministry of Defense in 2149. While criticized for the obvious vulnerability of lacking a roof, their proposal was accepted and greenlit for further development.
		+
		+	In 2150, a war broke out in Dorislav, then a part of Belanirislav. The conflict severely hampered development and halted all work on the prototype, which ground to a halt when Astif was seized by the Dorislavians. Development only resumed after the end of the conflict, with the prototype being completed by late 2152. Following months of testing, it was accepted into service as the Personnel Carrier, Wheeled, BTR-47 in mid-2153.
