I'll digress from the main topics of my blog. On July 10, our southern neighbors in Mongolia held a military parade on the Day of the National flag and on the eve of the Naadam holiday and the Day of the People's Revolution of 1921. The parade is dedicated to the 2235th anniversary of the founding of the first Mongolian statehood, the 820th anniversary of the creation of the Mongolian Empire, the 115th anniversary of the revival of national freedom and independence, and the 105th anniversary of the People's Revolution. 8,500 military personnel and about 90 units of weapons and military equipment took part in the parade.

I understand that this is a novelty of the parade - a new Mongolian armored car "Mazaalai-K" (Mazaalai-K), which looks like it was created on the chassis of the Ural-4320 family of Russian trucks.


This is the previously known Polish armored car "Mazaalai" (the word itself means Gobi bear).
