Ural-375D
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ural-375D is a general purpose 4.5 ton 6x6 truck, produced at the Ural Automotive Plant in Soviet Russia since the early 1960s. The ZIL-157 was the standard Soviet truck until it was replaced by the Ural-375D, which became the standard Soviet truck in 1979. The Ural-375D was soon replaced by the Ural-4320
The Soviets found the trucks an ideal platform for the BM-21 "Grad" rocket launcher. Other modes for the Ural-375D included troop carrier, supply carrier, etc.
