Heavy Belorussian Tractors For Missile Transportation

2014/07/22



The Minsk factory making wheeled tractors used to be a secret subdivision of MAZ company of Belarus. Its vehicles were carrying missiles, air defence systems and heavy equipment on Red Square during on the days of parades. Today it’s an independent company and it makes “Volat” tractors.







MZKT-79221 is used as part of a mobile launcher for the system “Topol-M”. It is sold to Russia for 4 million rubles (117,5 thousand dollars) per unit.

Only the second “driver” in another cabin may see what happens in the right mirror. both drivers may communicate via radio or by gestures if no missile is between them.




Sixteen wheels – all are driving ones.



MZKT-7930 (8×8) is going to carry “Iskanders”.
