Of course, we have “light KamAZs”, tons so under 7-9, but not 1,25.
In Kamaz, all this garbage can be picked up at a time. Only the task is different.

and from the “light” you can drive the entire UAZ line ... well, or “tigers”, for example

UAZ and they do not need a gift. They have cheap Toyota - for that matter .

[assa67]

I agree ... with all my love for the motherland, I think that UAZ doesn’t compare with the Japanese

[donavi49]

Well, they had a very serious war. Here is a pretty interesting movie.

As I wrote earlier - the infantry there is very ok, unlike the lack of equipment.

Kamaz there do not sew a sleeve. Well, that is, it is like the Kalashnikovs, a foreign body in the army mechanism. They are sitting on Aroids, sitting on Korean trucks - training, supply, repair, purchase of fuel and lubricants - everything is optimized for this.

Some of these machines will be used for the installation of weapons.
Syria experience? Who will ride them?

There is plenty to choose from, the cars are not bad and the contract is probably delicious.
