Russian forces are sending rare ZVM-2411 Uzola tracked vehicles to the front line, designed to handle snow and swampy terrain.
One of these models was spotted being transported on Russian roads, drawing attention for using the “Bukhanka” body, derived from the UAZ-2206, which leads many to mistake it for a homemade adaptation.
Produced by the Zavolzhsky Crawler Vehicle Plant in the Ivanovo region, the Uzola combines a tracked chassis with various UAZ bodies, such as passenger vans, mixed models for cargo and personnel transport, and open-bed trucks. The lineup includes versions like ZVM-2411, ZVM-2411GP, and ZVM-2411G, designed to operate on all types of terrain, from firm ground to flooded areas.
The vehicle can be fitted with gasoline or diesel engines, and metal or reinforced rubber tracks. Standard equipment includes a water drainage pump, and it can be outfitted with additional features like an electric winch and air conditioning.
Besides the Russian Army, other state agencies, including police, health services, and emergency teams, also operate these models.
