Hello....what's this then? As if you needed telling it's the magnificent MZKT 12x12 'King of the Desert' ouildfield truck and as ever I have Vladimir Chekhuta to thank for these pictures---and as a teaser. Vidalmir has very kindly helped me with a forthcoming feature on MZKTA for the Commercial Motor Christmas Issue, so keep your eyes peeled. And as part of that atrticle he sent me a whoe shed-load of superb shots including this 12x12 in the Turkmenistan desert (shots via the company's testers so Biglorryblog's thanks to them) And if you want to see more of this massive Belarus bruiser click through here!
Uphill, down dale, nothing stops this baby!
Of course you've got to deliver it to the desert and you can't exactly drive it there...so what do do?
Easy you load it in your friendly Antonov provider (this one was shot by Vladimir himself) and going in the back
And here it is arriving...out the front door....sharp eyed readers wil ntoice it's two different planes! So much for my continuity!.
But at least Vladimir has sent me this cracking 3/4 view to finish with...and it's got a lump on the back too..A true King of the Desert---unless someone out there knows diferently if so send me you pictures and a brief description to biglorryblog@googlemail.com
Wow. now that thing is amazing!I assume that vehicle is strictly for transporting equipment in the desert. It does not look very protected though? I am not sure I would like to be in that in a real war environment.
Actually, after a second look that looks like a civilian terrain vehicle. I do not think the owner of that vehicle will go to http://www.tracking-system.com/ to equip the car with a GPS. If someone ever stole the truck it would be hard to hide it! :)
Great Pics!
