The little guys are BMDs.  They are designed to be air-droppable and
transportable and are used by the Soviet airborne forces as a squad or
fire team carrier.  The closest equivalent I can think of is the Brit
Bren Carrier from WWII.  They offer more protection and better armor
than a Jeep and I don't think calling them an APC is too far off the
mark.  If anyone is interested I can go dig out the specs from my
books at home.

The bigger wheeled vehicles are BTRs, either -50 or -60.  They are
more like a Tech *7* APC, having been replaced by the more capable and
upgunned BMP in the middle 80s.
