On the roads of Syria, cars that were supplied to this country by the Soviet Union have long become familiar: old GAZ-66, ZIL-131, Ural-375, KrAZ-255, MAZ-537.

There are significant quantities of GAZ-3308 "Sadko", actively used modern modifications of "Ural", "Kamaz". Belarusian MAZ-6317, MAZ-437041 and MAZ-437041 were also spotted. Currently, there are still Czech Tatra-815 and older models of this company. Still come across such rare instances as Praga V3S.
Interestingly, almost all of these samples, except for highly specialized, such as heavy tractors, are used not only for the delivery of various goods and the transportation of personnel, but often act as platforms for the installation of various weapons, such as rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns ZU-23-2, 57-mm S-60 and 100-mm KS-19.
It turns out that the government forces also operate equipment made in Yugoslavia. We are talking about a three-axle all-wheel drive army all-terrain vehicle TAM 150. Recently, a convoy of such vehicles was spotted in the Aleppo area.
These trucks can confidently operate in 50-degree heat and carry up to 5,000 kg or two dozen military personnel. Diesel engine power-150 hp Maximum speed on the highway - 80 km/h.
The appearance of such equipment in Syria was a big surprise even for Serbian experts, who previously knew nothing about the supply of "one hundred and fifties" to this region.
