The Russians don't mess around when it comes to rough terrain vehicles.
- InclinedPlane 11y agoI think you mean the Czech's, who make the Tatra trucks.
- vetinari 11y agoDT30 is not a Tatra.
- derjames 11y agoI think you mean the South Africans with the Marauder.
- paganel 11y agoKamaz is certainly up there with Tatra. When I was still following the Paris-Dakar rally (back when it was still taking place in Africa) I seem to remember that Kamaz trucks absolutely dominated the truck competition.
- trhway 11y agoin West Siberia Kamaz trucks relegated to only in-village or where at least some kind of road is supposed to be. Anywhere else, where still possible for wheeled vehicles, the workhorse of USSR/Russian military is used - KrAZ (AWD, higher mount). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KrAZ#/media/File:Kraz255b.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KrAZ#/media/File:Kraz255b.jpg
- paganel 11y agoYeah, forgot about those (was also on mobile and couldn't search easily). We also have one of them in my city, Bucharest, is employed by the local transport authority to help pull trolley-buses or even tramways whenever they break. Here's an image of it sometime in winter: http://tramclub.org/files/iarna_in_bucuresti_6_februarie_009_177.jpg http://tramclub.org/files/iarna_in_bucuresti_6_februarie_009... . It's a pretty intimidating machine, to be honest, but cool as hell!
