"Hi BLB" says Paul Cronin, "I really enjoy the website and having found this article about Russian military trucks I had to share it with you, there are some great pictures of 10x10, 12x12 and even 24x24 trucks, there is even a video of some of them in action. It looks like they were basing their designs on Thunderbirds, which they probably thought was a documentary. Regards Paul." And that link Paul refers to in his e-mail to Biglorryblog is here http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/03/russian-ballistic-missile-carriers.html The YouTube clip on the dark roasted blend website is certainly well worth watching. The truck above looks like an MZKT...although I am sure Vladimir Chekuta can tells me the full story..now click through here for more...
Is it another BAZ? You tell me....

I've just had this comment e-mailed me from Vladimir...
"Hello Brian!
I saw this site http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/03/russian-ballistic-missile-carriers.html
There are normal and correct information. I think it got from russian books.
The first is MZKT-79221 (16x16) and second is BAZ (ZIL) which desinged for seeking landed space ships in Kazakhstan.
Best regards
Vladimir"
