Training station for the SKOT transport vehicle

SKOT (Střední Kolový Obrněný Transportér – Medium Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier) – a four-axle, wheeled armored personnel carrier developed jointly by Polish and Czechoslovak engineers. Production began in October 1963 at the FSC plant in Lublin. Czechoslovakia supplied certain components, such as the engines. Adopted by the Czech army under the designation OT-64—a name by which it is also known internationally—it was additionally exported to several countries, primarily in the Arab world.

The museum collection includes a cross-section of a SKOT personnel carrier. It was manufactured at the factory for training crews and technical personnel. It allows for a thorough understanding of the layout and construction of the carrier’s mechanical components. It can still be used as a teaching aid for students of technical schools.

The carrier is used to transport infantry units and also as a base for other types of weapons (engineering, communications).

Beginning in the early 1990s, it was gradually withdrawn from service with the Polish Armed Forces.
