ZIS-E134

 

This is first prototype (produced in 1955) of a all terrain military truck ZIS-E134. It was supposed to be able to drive on any terrain. It has 8×8 wheels giving very good traction. Truck weights about 10 tonnes and can carry 3 tons of cargo.

One design flaw can be seen here – truck sometimes sways on obstacles.
