GAZ-46 MAV

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.

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. Many GAZ-66s have a front-mounted winch. Other variants have a hard-bodied cargo area for use as machine shops, communications, and command vehicles. A version of the GAZ-66 is used as the chassis for a lightweight version of the BM-21 MRL, known as the BM-21V Grad-P.

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. 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.

GAZ-3937 Vodnik

Notes: When this vehicle first appeared in mid-1995, it was confused with the GAZ-3934 SIAM light armored vehicle, and thought to be a lightly armored personnel carrier. It is now known to be a rough equivalent to the US HMMWV, but larger, being a medium truck. It was designed to provide better cross-country mobility than normal trucks of the same class. It is also amphibious, propelled in water by the turning of its heavy-lugged tires. It does have many automotive components in common with the GAZ-3934. This vehicle is in common use by KGB, Spetsnaz, and Alpha Teams, and if you run into a unit driving them, chances are you have run into such a special unit. A Weapon may be mounted on a post in the passenger area.

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 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-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, however, 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. 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 effect 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-kg capacity winch in the front. The LuAZ-967M's rear is flat, except for the two folding seats. 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.

LuAZ-969/1302

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.

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, and drop sides.

UAZ-469

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 an 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 a more powerful engine, 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.
