Haidar (Wikipedia spells it Heidar) is Iran's family of upgrades to the Soviet-era BTR-60, an eight-wheeled amphibious APC first shown in 1961. Iranian versions add a mine-laying rig, a BMP-1 turret with a 73mm gun, or explosive reactive armour with a remote 23mm turret depending on the sub-variant. Iran fields the base BTR-60 and these upgrades widely in its ground forces.
