Massimo Pezza has sent me some more pictures of ex-Eastern Bloc military kit he found at a museum in the Czech Republic starting off with this hefty eight-wheeler...anyone know what it is? Interesting that middle axles are closer together...

Praga, GAZ and MAZ (possibly)
Starting from bottom we have:
1. a Praga V3S 6x6 (similar to the one whose picture was posted 2 days ago).
2. Two pictures of a bonneted Russian-bulit trucks show a petrol-engined GAZ 51 4x2 lorry. The script on the side of the bonnet reads "Gorky Motor Works (Gorkovsky AvtoZavod - hence GAZ).
3. The big 8-wheeler is possibly a MAZ of sorts, used as a missile transporter/launcher.
Hope this sheds some light.
Have a nice evening!
Andrzej from Poland
probably is a russian Baz 135
The eight wheeler is a scud missile launch vehicle - much famed for being found in the North of Iraq in 1991. The blast shield is resting neatly on the roof of the cab.
When it comes to the eightwheeler I would rather say it's MZKT, also trading as Volat, as even those Russian multi-axle intercontinental missile carriers are made by them. Even a cab is similar apart from being split in two...
It says Grokey Auto Works.. on the side of the bonnet
