Soviet ZIL-131V w/ 2T3M1 Trailer & 8K14 Missile

The ZIL-131V is a tractor unit based on the general purpose 3.5 tonne 6×6 Soviet made army truck.  First introduced in 1966, the ZIL-131 was produced by an automobile manufacturer known short for ZIL. The ZIL produced cargo trucks and other variants shared many components  with its earlier ZIL-130 predecessor as well as the same equipment as the GAZ-66 and Ural-375D.

Both deployed with either a gasoline or a diesel engine, the ZIL-131 trucks were produced until 2012 when the factory filed for bankruptcy and shut down.

ZIL-131V was manufactured to help in towing  and reloading either air to air or air to ground missiles on a special trailer, seen during the late Iraqi regime towing SCUD missiles. Widely deployed across various battlefields and regions, the ZIL-131 still saw extensive combat during the modern Russo-Ukrainian war.
