ICM 72817 1/72 ZiL-131 Truck with Trailer 'Armed Forces of Ukraine'

The Armed Forces of Ukraine operate a large number of various types of trucks. These are used for transporting personnel, ammunition, military cargo, and towing artillery guns. A certain part of the vehicle fleet consists of modern models of Ukrainian and Western production. At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine also use a significant number of various trucks left after the collapse of the USSR. One such model is the all-wheel-drive ZiL-131. Its production began in the late 1960s, and in 1986, an upgraded version, the ZiL-131N, was introduced. The truck is distinguished by its high reliability and good off-road capability. Some of the vehicles were equipped with van bodies, also known as KUNG (standardized body of zero (normal) dimensions). In addition to trucks, various trailers with van bodies are actively used, designed for accommodating personnel, laboratories, repair workshops, field kitchens, electronic systems, or medical units. They can be equipped with lighting systems, power supply systems, and heating devices.
