Notes: This is
an amphibious version of the GAZ-69 (the forerunner of the UAZ-469).
In this role, the vehicle has a boat-shaped hull with propellers at the
rear of the vehicle for propulsion in the water.
This vehicle was first produced in 1944 and remained in production until
1955; however, thousands of these vehicles were retained in Pact service by
Naval Infantry units, lovingly cared for by mechanics, drivers, and aides of
Naval Infantry and Spetsnaz commanders who liked their combination of small
size, mobility, and amphibious characteristics.
More were maintained through the years by private collectors around the
globe, with many of them being impressed into military service.
A weapon mount
is normally found on top of the windshield or on a post or roll bar behind the
front seat, but no weapon is provided in the basic cost of the vehicle. The
design borrows heavily from the GAZ-69 jeep as well as the Ford GPA “Seep.” It
was devised as an amphibious unit commander’s car, able to carry a weapon on a
mount as well as a decent amount of cargo. The front seats and passenger seats
can be covered by a tarpaulin over folding bows. The windshield folds forward
over the front of the vehicle. The GAZ-46 has a 3-ton winch on the front of the
vehicle; the entire hull is of welded steel, making it watertight. The rear of
the hull has a spare tire mounted on it. The GAZ-46 used the engine of the
GAZ-M20 Pobeda, a 55-horsepower gasoline engine, with the transmission and
suspension borrowed from the GAZ-69. In the water the GAZ-46 uses a propeller
for locomotion. The propeller uses a PTO and must be switched on when the
vehicle is to ford water.
A GAZ-46 was
used in the chase scene in Indiana Jones 4 – Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Notes: These are
essentially oversized Jeep-like vehicles used by Bloc and Chinese forces, in
addition to Syria and Albania. The
GAZ-51 was retired long ago by most countries, but can still be found in
operation by some civilians, and several were sent to museums and static
displays. Others met an ignoble
fate as range targets. The GAZ-63 also met the same fates, but more are in use
by military users, as the truck is newer, and more are also in operation with
civilians in the countries whose militaries they once served. Variants of the
GAZ-51 and GAZ-63 are the base of a plethora of variants, from troop carriers to
NBC vehicles.
The GAZ-63 is a
4x4 vehicle, but the GAZ-51 is a 4x2 vehicle. The cabs of the GAZ-51 and GAZ-63
are all-metal; the rear cargo area may be covered by a tarpaulin over bows. It
should be noted that if these trucks stay on a hard road, they can haul 2.5
tons. The GAZ-51 can tow 1.2 tons cross-country, or 3.5 tons on roads; the
GAZ-63 can 2 tons cross country or 3.5 tons on roads. The engines of these two
vehicles are a GAZ-11 6-cylinder gasoline-burning engine developing 70
horsepower. The GAZ-63 has articulated shock absorbers rather than the GAZ-51’s
telescoping shock absorbers. A noteworthy improvement on the GAZ-63 is its fuel
tank, being over twice the size of the GAZ-51’s tank.

GAZ-66
Notes: Bloc and
Chinese forces, as well as Angola, Cambodia, Cuba, Egypt, Finland, Iran, Iraq
and Syria use this 4x4 truck. It
replaced the GAZ-63. There is a
weapon mount on the cab roof, but no weapon is provided.
Civilians also use the GAZ-66.
The GAZ-66 is of all-steel construction, with fixed sides and drop
tailgate. A canvas tarpaulin covers the cargo area, and the cab has a heater.
Other variants have a hard-bodied cargo area for use as machine shops,
communications, and command vehicles.
The GAZ-66 is used as the chassis for a lightweight version of the BM-21
MRL, known as the BM-21V Grad-P. The engine of the GAZ-66 is a ZMZ-66 gasoline
engine developing 115 horsepower. (The alternate engines below have the same
horsepower rating unless otherwise stated.) The GAZ-66 can tow 2 tons.
The GAZ-66A is
equipped with a 4-ton winch with 65 meters of cable up front. The GAZ-66-15 is
equipped with a winch and has an EMP-shielded electrical system. The GAZ-66-16
is a modernized version with a ZMZ-513.10 improved engine (same fuel and
horsepower), reinforced tires, power brakes, and a redesigned suspension and
body so that the cargo bed did not have intruding wheel niches. The GAZ-66-21 is
called the National-Economic modification with dual rear tires and a reinforced
cargo bed; it has a much greater cargo-hauling capacity. The GAZ-66-40 has a
winch and is powered by a GAZ-5441 turbodiesel engine giving 120 horsepower. The
GAZ-66-41 has a winch and a GAZ-544 naturally aspirated diesel engine.

Notes: Also
known as the UAZ-69 (built by a different factory in this case), this vehicle is
the predecessor of the UAZ-469 in Pact service, but may still be found in many
countries that received Russian aid throughout the years, such as Cambodia,
Cuba, Egypt, Finland, Syria, North Korea, Vietnam, and several African nations.
It has a permanent 4x4 off-road drive. It uses the 55-horsepower GAZ-M20
Pobeda engine with a four-speed manual transmission (also derived from that of
the GAZ-20M). The GAZ-69 has all-wheel full-time drive, but to reduce road fuel
consumption, the crew could get out, take a socket wrench, and disconnect the
hub coupling. The design is a classic for its time period, with a small
truck-like front end housing the engine, a center portion with the driver and
commander, and a rear cargo/passenger area. The center and rear may be covered
with a folding canvas roof; this had plastic windows in it, but the top protects
poorly against dust. On the left
side behind the driver’s door is a spare tire. As even civilian versions were
required to meet Army specifications, in order to facilitate wartime
requisitioning, a hardtop GAZ-69 was not built until 1993. In the basic GAZ-69,
the fuel supply is split into two separate tanks, and one of them, holding 28
liters, is beneath the commander’s seat.
The GAZ-69A
eliminated the fuel tank under the commander’s seat, and enlarged the single
fuel tank in the vehicle. However, the fuel tank can only be refueled from
inside the driver’s door. The GAZ-69A has four doors and the spare tire is moved
under the vehicle in the rear. The GAZ-69A is considerably lighter than the
GAZ-69; it is designed for airborne operations and in addition to its ability to
be airdropped, it has hook points for sling loading from helicopters. The
GAZ-69M is equipped with a GAZ-M21 engine developing 65 horsepower.
It is otherwise the same as the GAZ-69 base version.
In Indiana
Jones 4 – the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, action featured several GAZ-69s
in the chase sequences. Russian crews often called the GAZ-69 the Gazik
(Goat), due to the vehicle’s light construction, which led to it jumping and
bouncing around on rough ground. Variants include the 2P26, which mounts
launchers for six 3M6 Shmel (AT-1 Snapper) ATGM in the rear of the vehicle.
Some Middle East countries mount a recoilless rifle in the rear of the
vehicle, on a pivot to allow firing in all directions.
The GAZ-69 is used to carry an aircraft starter unit. The GAZ-69 has been
fitted with the DIM mine detection system. There is even a version to tow small
2.4-ton tractor trailers, the UAZ-456.

GAZ-3308 Sadko
Notes: This is a
light truck designed to replace trucks of around the 2-ton payload class, and
specifically, the GAZ-66 series. It
was originally designed for export as well as domestic use, and perhaps this is
why it is built to more modern specifications than most Russian trucks.
Series production began in 1997, with the Sadko being powered at the time
with a ZMZ-5231.10 130-horsepower turbodiesel engine. The GAZ-3308 has power
steering and brakes, automatic transmission, variable pressure tires, and an
off-road suspension. Air
conditioning and heating are options, as is a 5-ton capacity winch (included in
the stats below)
In 2003, the
Sadkos were re-engined with a MMZ D-245.7 117-horsepower turbodiesel to comply
with European Union exhaust regulations, and designated GAZ-33081.
In 2013, the Sadkos were re-engined again with a Type D-245.7E4
turbodiesel developing 122.4 horsepower, and designated GAZ-33082. In 2005, the
GAZ-33086 Zemlyak variant was introduced; this version is powered by a Type
D-245.7E4 turbodiesel developing 122.4 horsepower, and with a four-wheel rear
axle allowing a large increase in cargo capacity, though at the cost of some of
its cross-country capability. Also in 2013, the GAZ-33088 was introduced,
powered by a YaMZ-53442 134.5-horsepower turbodiesel.

GT-S
Notes: The GT-S
series goes back to 1955; this was when the original GT-S (also known as the
GAZ-47) was introduced. The GT-S
was an over-the-snow vehicle designed for a variety of roles, but primarily as a
general cargo/troop carrier and light artillery/heavy mortar tractor.
The GT-S is also capable of traversing shallow swamps and mud.
The layout is conventional, with an engine compartment up front under a
short hood, a cab behind that, and the cargo/troop section behind the cab.
The cab and cargo/troop section is covered by a canvas tarpaulin over
bows; the cab has two doors, while the rear area is accessed via a drop
tailgate, and has small plastic windows in the rear and sides of the tarpaulin.
Towing capacity of the GT-S is 2 tons.
The GT-S is fully amphibious, but only the tracks propel it in the water.
Early models used a 74-horsepower engine, but this was quickly changed to
an 85-horsepower engine. Today, the
GT-S is primarily used in the civilian role, ranging from logging companies to
scientific agencies.
The
LFN-RVD-GPI-66 is an unusual variant of the GT-S; it is designed for higher
speeds over water, deep snow, deep mud or sand, and swamps, but is incapable of
traversing other terrain except in an excruciatingly slow manner.
The tracks on this variant have been replaced by large cylindrical
screw-type pontoons which propel the vehicle.
This makes it quick over its chosen terrain, but virtually incapable of
movement over anything else; it has a Com Mov of only 1 over any other sort of
terrain whether on road or off, and no effective Tr Mov.
It was placed in production, but is quite rare, as it proved to be
impractical for anything other than amphibious assault, and of only limited use
in that role. The 85-horsepower
engine is standard for this version.
The GT-SM (also
known as the GAZ-71) replaced the GT-S in the early 1970s; it is basically a
GT-S with a more powerful 115-horsepower engine.
It is somewhat larger than the GT-S, but has the same cargo and towing
capacities, and the same general shape and specifications.
Production has since stopped, but it is still in lower-level service with
the Russian Army. Category 1 and 2
units have largely replaced the GT-SM with the MT-LB.
The GT-T is a
further development of the GT-S series, and is also capable of negotiating deep
mud and swamps and is also amphibious with preparation.
Developed for Arctic troops, the GT-T is known for its very wide chassis
and tracks, features that help it on the terrain for which it was developed.
Since it was developed for Arctic troops, it is also one of the few
vehicles designed by the old Soviet Union which was designed with a more than
adequate heater, and the engine, transmission, and the fluids it uses were
either designed to work at low temperature or have pre-heaters.
Though not an especially large vehicle, it can haul a decent amount of
cargo for its size, in addition to being able to tow 4 tons.
The GT-T is, however, a very old design, entering service in the early
1960s, and is primarily found in Category 2, 3, and Mobilization-Only units,
though some are still in front-line service.
Some are also found in civilian use, particularly by logging companies in
Siberia. Variants include a
maintenance vehicle, a field kitchen, and an NBC decontamination vehicle.
Most Category 1 units have replaced the GT-T with the MT-LB.
The driver and two other persons may sit in the cab at the front of the
vehicle; the rest are seated in the rear compartment.
The GT-T does not have any weapon mounts nor firing ports. The GT-T uses
a variant of the engine of the MT-LB, a GAZ V6A diesel developing 240
horsepower. Towing is up to 4 tons.
The GT-SM-1D is
a light tracked general-purpose carrier designed primarily for transport over
difficult terrain, and the latest in a long line of similar Russian carriers.
The GT-SM-1D is not an all-terrain vehicle, lacking the special tracks,
roadwheels, engine and transmission, and other modifications for use in deep
snow, mud, or swamps; in fact, the tracks are rather narrow.
The GT-SM-1D is, however, amphibious, propelled in the water by its
tracks, and is also designed for high-altitude operations.
It is used by both civilian and military agencies in Russia and the
former Soviet Union. Though its
load capacity is modest, it is capable of towing 2 tons. The engine is a
GAZ-5441 turbodiesel developing 123 horsepower.
Layout is otherwise conventional, with an engine compartment up front, a
cab, and a rear cargo area which may be covered by bows and a tarpaulin.

*The Off-road speed of this
version is in deep snow, mud, water, or swamps only; otherwise, the
LFN-RVD-GPI-66 has no effective Tr Mov, and a Com Mov of only 1.
The LFN-RVD-GPI-66 does not actually have tracks; instead, it has
cylindrical steel screw-type pontoons.
However, they are treated as tracks for game purposes.
LuAZ-967M
Notes: The
Warsaw Pact in then-East Germany first deployed this vehicle in the late 1960s.
It is used for battlefield support and as a medical evacuation vehicle.
It is also used by airborne forces due to its light weight, and is used
by them as a weapon carrier. The
LuAZ-967M has two folding seats for passengers; one seat may be folded to
accommodate a stretcher. There is a
treadway on each side of the vehicle for crossing trenches and other obstacles.
It also has a 200-kilogram capacity winch in the front.
The LuAZ-967M's rear is flat, except for the two folding seats.
The engine is a MeMZ-967A gasoline engine developing 37 horsepower; this
seems like the LuAZ-967M would be underpowered, but the engine is adequate due
to the LuAZ-967M’s light weight. No
weapon mount is provided, except on the airborne weapons carrier variant; this
vehicle usually carries an AGS-17 grenade launcher, AT-4 Spigot ATGM, or B-10
recoilless rifle. There is also no cover on the vehicle, nothing like a canvas
tilt or hardtop. The windshield folds down forwards over the front.

Notes: This
light vehicle was meant for airborne and airmobile forces, primarily as a
command and liaison vehicle. It is
based on a passenger car built in Russian called the ZAZ-966.
The chassis is over 50% compatible with the LuAZ-967M, as they are based
on the same vehicle. There is a
later version called the LuAZ-1302, with a more powerful engine.
It is considerably heavier because of this engine, but has the same cargo
and towing ability (300 kilograms). The engine of the LuAZ-969 is a MeMZ-946
gasoline engine developing 27 horsepower; for the LuAZ-1302, it is a ZAZ-1100
developing 53 horsepower.

UAZ-452
Notes:
This is a van used by certain Warsaw Pact units, particularly as ambulances or
command vehicles. Unlike similar
vehicles produced in other countries, the UAZ-452 was purpose-built for the
military and is not an adaptation of a civilian vehicle.
In addition to the van configuration, the UAZ-452 is also produced as a
sort of pickup truck, with a forward cab, open-topped rear cargo bed, wheelbase
extended by 25 centimeters, and drop sides; this is the UAZ-3303. The UAZ-3303
can also have bows and a canvas top over the cargo area. The UAZ-452 has a
cabover configuration, with the engine and transmission under the driver and
front seat passenger and extending in front of the rear passengers. The van has
cab doors, a single swinging door on the right side, and a double-wing door at
the rear. The vehicle has two separate fuel tanks which must be filled from
separate ports. It uses the same 75-horsepower UMZ-452M gasoline engine as the
UAZ-469, and can run on fuel as low as 72 octane.
The UAZ-39625 is
a version furnished with EU-compatible lighting, instrument panel, and alarms,
and upgraded with a 99-horsepower engine.
The UAZ-452 was
called the bukhanka by Pact troops, which is Russian for “loaf,” denoting
its general shape as a loaf of bread. The pickup truck version was called the
golovastik, or “tadpole.” As of 2024, the UAZ-452 and its variants are the
oldest Russian vehicles still in production.

Notes: This was
the standard light vehicle of Russian and most Pact forces, as well as almost
all former or current Russian or Pact client states.
In addition, it was sold as a civilian off-road vehicle in Eastern
Europe. Though in many countries it
was being replaced by newer versions of the UAZ-469 or other light vehicles, the
UAZ-469 was a ubiquitous sight in most of the world.
It is a light Jeep-like vehicle, of conventional layout.
The rear area may be open or covered by a canvas tilt; hard-bodied
versions are also available. There
is a weapon mount behind the front seats; however, no weapon is provided in the
cost of the vehicle.
The UAZ-469B is
a version of the standard UAZ-469.
It has a lower ground clearance, which reduces the cost of the vehicle.
The UAZ-469B has been sold in the West as the Tundra (not to be mistaken
for the Toyota Tundra), and is used by the Warsaw Pact, Afghanistan, Cuba,
Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and Syria.
The UAZ-3151 is
the version of the UAZ-469 produced after 1990.
It has more powerful engines, and a diesel engine is an option.
A heater is fitted, and cross-country performance is improved with a
better suspension. Russia and
Czechoslovakia use this version.

VAZ-2121 Reka
Notes: This is
basically a military application of the civilian Lada Niva SUV.
It has the minimum modifications necessary for use as a military vehicle.
The Russian Army was impressed with the Reka’s off-road capability, especially
its fording abilities, and wanted to procure mass numbers to replace the
UAZ-469. However, the Russian MoD
didn’t feel replacement of the UAZ-469 was warranted and there was no mass
production of the military version of the Niva. The engine is a 75-horsepower
4-cylinder gasoline engine with considerable torque. The Reka had a different
metal dashboard from the Reka, though it has the same instruments as the Niva;
the Reka does not have luxury items like a civilian stereo. The Reka does have
the same faux leather upholstery and the same steering wheel. The Reka also has
a 24-volt electrical system, to allow for military radios. The Reka is a hardtop
design, and it is not known if open-top versions were going to be made. There is
no weapon mount or roof hatch.
