I don't know who wrote that the PT-76 was replaced by the BMP-1 but that's not the case. The two were designed for quite different missions and while some operators might have used the BMP as a light tank the Soviets didn't use it for that.
- Wasn't the PT-76 replaced by the BMP-R in the reconnaissance role (the statement in the article is still wrong)? —Michael Z. 2005-07-13 14:25 Z

Plavayushchy or Plavuchii
Our article says "Plavayushchy Tank (Плавающий Танк)", but I have a published source that says Plavuchii Tank. Any idea which is correct, or if it even matters? —Michael Z. 2005-10-21 17:09 Z
"Плавающий" literally means "one that swims" (i.e. has one role and that is swimming), whereas "плавучий" is more like "amphibious". Hence logically, it would seem that the tank was called the latter but I have no certain information about this --72.137.194.104 00:09, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
