The Subject

The Ural-375 is a heavy-duty off-road truck that was produced by the Ural Automotive Plant in the Soviet Union from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. It was designed for military use, and was commonly used for transportation of troops, ammunition, and other supplies.

The Ural-375 is known for its ruggedness and off-road capabilities, and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system and high ground clearance, making it suitable for operation in rough terrain and extreme weather conditions. The truck has a payload capacity of up to 5 tons, depending on the configuration.

There were several variants of the Ural-375 produced, including a troop carrier, cargo truck, fuel tanker, and ambulance. The truck was also used as the basis for a number of specialized vehicles, such as mobile missile launchers, radar systems, and command vehicles.

Although the Ural-375 is no longer in production, it remains a popular vehicle among military enthusiasts and collectors, and can still be found in use in some parts of the world.
