In Syria, the number of UAZ-3151 gantraks and ZIL-131 trucks increases
133
According to "Messenger of Mordovia", In the Syrian army and allied formations it increases UAZ-3151, converted into gantrakami (light, that is, unarmored, assault cars). Judging by the photographic materials published in the Internet space, their score is already going to tens.
The armament consists of old, but 12,7-mm DShK machine guns tested during many conflicts and wars with massive armor shields protecting not only the shooter, but also other fighters in the cabin.
In October, the 2011 of the Russian Ministry of Defense decided to minimize the purchase of new UAZ-3151 as obsolete off-road vehicles. The cars already in the troops appear to be removed from service, being repaired and shipped to Syria.
Apparently, as the ZIL-131 is decommissioned and re-commissioned, recognized as not in accordance with the requirements of the Russian army in the 2012 year, and being replaced by KamAZ and Urals, their supplies to Syria are increasing. Government forces are increasingly using these cars in large numbers, which have proven themselves to be simple and reliable cars, well known to the soldiers of the Syrian army.
