The Minsk plant of wheeled tractors was a secret subdivision of MAZ in the Soviet time. It is exactly those vehicles that carry missiles in Red Square in days of parades, air defense and other heavy equipment. After the USSR collapse the plant became an independent enterprise and now it is under the supervision of the Byelorussian Department of Defense. Today it turns out products of “Volat” (“Hero”) brand.
MZKT-79221 is used in the composition of a mobile launcher for “Topol-M” complex. It is sold for 133300 per item in Russia.

These would make great pizza delivery trucks.

Very hot pizza
Pizza delivery truck? Hah, you could deliver the whole restaurant with one of these things. Mobile pizza parlor.
Anyone got any info on the yellow truck, secound last picture?
That is the transporter for the North Korena Type BIG OL DONG Missile.
intelligent nation, top around the world !
Outstanding work by those men at the factory, they should be very proud.
Coooooooool!!!
And I thought Belarus was a third world country!!!
Still, shouldn’t those things have more electronics these days?
Now electronic components can work in epicentre of nuclear explosion?
Nice trucks, but I wish everybody would realize that stuff like this is such a waste of money. I wonder how much money just two countries (the US and Russia) have wasted on military equipment like this that’s never been used. Eh, it’s a jobs program….
You should be glad they were never used, otherwise chances are we would be writing all this today.
meant to say we would not be writing
Doodski, it’s because of such waste that we have the Internet and EnglishRussia.com!
My they are beautiful.
Bohemoths! Appears to be a smoothly run facility.
they were, are and will be good trucks !!!
Guttunge.
Yellow truck, second last one:
MZKT 7907. 24X24
1985 production year,
capacity 200 tones
you can google it..
is anyone sold it in Ebay?
Trucks would be more handsome with Soviet style white wall tyres!
I want one of these as my next pick-up truck.
Then I can go hummer bashing…
I love the site, but is there anyway you could translate the signs? At least for the pictures of signs. There is a lot of miscellaneous Cyrillic, but I’d appreciate a translation of the major stuff. Thanks!
On September 17 1939 the treacherous Soviets ruthlessly attacked Poland, already under attack by Germans. Russians signed a pact with Germans to cut Poland in half and share the loot. Poland was once again betrayed and attacked by Soviet Russia. What followed was 50+ years of effective occupation by Russians in terms of communist government and presence of foreign army in the territory of Poland. May the memory of this hideous deed never be forgotten, in spite of continued attempts by Russians to rewrite history. Long live Poland!
Thank you for the history lesson, but what has it to do with this post about MAZ?
you are spamming and missing entirely the spirit of this site
and not being different from the typical nazi or religious nutcase posting irrelevant stuff
that said i will be in poland from 27/09 to the 04/10
what is the weather over there ?
As all know, World War II there have begun Poles, but they the hasn’t lucky
learn some english its not that complicated, then learn some history its even more simple than english…
Why are more being built? Is the need to transport ICBM’s REALLY that great?
They has at least one robot on their factory.
Interesting is, that the 24×24 (Model 7907) has a unique powerplant: an 1250 HP gas turbine. This is connected to a huge alternator which produces the power to run all the electro motors of the transmission (individual driven wheels). So, this is probably also one of the biggest hybrids of the world 🙂
However I heard that one of the two 7907s carried a yacht, and was driven in reverse gear into the water (to launch the yacht). So the e-all-wheel-drive had a fault at least on the last 4 axles. But, the monster was able to drive back to the plant (however only by 30 kph).
