Quite by chance I found a number of clips for the Czech Army, including AFV's such as the T-72M4, BVP-1, BVP-2 and one of my favourites, the SA-6 Gainful SAM.

At 0:53 on this clip you see an 8-wheeled APC. An OT64 8x8 APC I assume?

Also I was wondering if someone could tell me what the curious rounded feature between the middle body fins is on top of the SA-6 missiles at 0:08 on this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRAvgaTiZ1A

Do we know how many BVP-1 the Czech Army still has?

Hallo
The first clip is from late '80 before velvet revolution and yes that APC is OT-64.
