They're also removing the crane and winch from T-54-based BTS-2 engineering vehicles in order to make room to carry troops.
The Russians still have the capability to mount turrets to these MBT hulls but, at least for some, they're choosing not to. Therefore, it stands to reason that, in the Twilight War, when industry is ravaged by nuclear war, it would be common practice to convert tanks with damaged turrets to APCs.
