Quite strange, isn't it? I want to know the base truck and what is it for.

kwgibbs · « **Reply #1 on:** November 07, 2013, 01:52:30 PM »

yes,its certainly strange.Is it based on a soviet LAZ,and used for medical purposes?

targhediferro · « **Reply #2 on:** November 07, 2013, 02:58:52 PM »

It's a sovietic vehicle, but not a LAZ and not for medical purposes.

was this vehicle mass produced,or a one-off?

targhediferro · « **Reply #4 on:** November 07, 2013, 03:23:12 PM »

I don't know; my source doesn't tell production numbers. I suppose it is a one-off or perhaps it could be realized in a little serie.

I have absolutely no idea what the marque of the vehicle is, but looking at the rear wheels/tyres, it looks like some sort of vehicle to be used on sandy surfaces. The striping on the vehicle would seem to indicate some type of emergency vehicle, police/fire/rescue.

I have no idea why it should be RHD, nothing comes to mind.

Sorry Bill, I haven't see your replay before. In some way it is a vehicle used by men with uniform, but not on sandy surfaces (as far as I know).

Bill Murray · « **Reply #7 on:** November 14, 2013, 08:36:27 AM »

Thank you for the tip.

Still no answer, but can this be a vehicle used to inspect/repair road tunnels?

Bill

No connection with tunnels, sorry.

Any connection with airfields

Something to do with Cosmonauts?

targhediferro · « **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2013, 06:52:49 PM »

No cosmonautic connection...unlocked.

Given the reputation of the Russian winter, is this machine simply for taking the crew out to an aircraft?

targhediferro · « **Reply #14 on:** December 01, 2013, 06:18:41 PM »

No, it's not for taking the crew out to an aircraft, but the connection with aircraft is correct.

Towing?

targhediferro · « **Reply #16 on:** December 02, 2013, 05:37:13 AM »

Sorry, not for towing.

D-type · « **Reply #17 on:** December 02, 2013, 05:46:53 AM »

Was it simply a bus for taking passengers out to the aircraft?

targhediferro · « **Reply #18 on:** December 02, 2013, 08:56:37 AM »

Not a bus for passengers.

Bill Murray · « **Reply #19 on:** December 02, 2013, 09:07:10 AM »

Prisoner bus?

That's not what this vehicle was for, but you're on the right path...

Not a jail truck.
