This vehicle was misidentified; it is actually a BTR-80, recognizable by the flat engine deck and firing ports angled to the front.

Original caption: "Russian soldiers of the Kosovo Force (KFOR), position a BTR-70 Armored Personnel Carrier (wheeled) in the event of violence by an angry Albanian mob near the town of Domorovce, Kosovo. After two Serbian men disappeared, the Serbians believe the Albanians abducted the men and began to make threats and road obstructions to stop the Albanians from traveling safely through town. The Albanians began to form a mob to confront the Serbians until United States Army and Russian KFOR troops made a wall between the opposing sides.
