Forest ride in ex Finnish army heavy 6x6 offroad army truck, originally built in Soviet Union. Cockpit camera with somewhat shaky camerawork as the installation at the window was not stabile, so I had to hold the camera in my hand.

The KrAZ-255 is an off-road truck 6x6 for extreme operations. The 255 was manufactured at the KrAZ plant.
Conqueror of rugged terrains, general favorite, “laptyozhnik”, legend - all these nicknames were given to the KrAZ-255B truck for its reliability, rugged design, endurance, repairability and excellent off road ability.
Today, almost a quarter of century after the KrAZ-255B was discontinued, you could see them in CIS countries, on mountain roads of India, Afghanistan, Iran, in savannahs, sands and tropical jungle of Africa. Service with the army in combat operations, peace keeping missions, emergency response, operation in extremely harsh environmental and road conditions is the past and present of “laptyozhnik”. Today the KrAZ-255B vehicle is still on duty in the “hot” east of the country, in engineering troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is proved by reports from battlefields. Thus, according to ATO General Staff Press Information Centre, military engineers built 70 m long heavy-duty pontoon ferry across Severskiy Donets near village Krymskoye. The KrAZ-255B carrying pontoon helped reconnect this and other districts where transportation is limited or absent.
