These old eastern block trucks are some of the toughest vehicles ever made. Love your videos Visio! I always learn a lot from them!

[КлиментЦонков]

0:53 it's not air cooled if you dip it the river. ;-)

[AGentleTree]

"No, Praga, you can't cross that river! You'll get stuck or something!"

Vetrieska: lol good meme

[simongray]

Travelled into the CIS states in the early nineties and had the pleasure of travelling in a few of these vehicles. When it came to off road vehicles and trucks the former USSR was way ahead of the rest of the world. Thank you for a really interesting series of video's

[true_rivethead]

Did you forget about MAZ-535/537!? This 8-wheeled BEAST have a FREAKING TANK ENGINE AS IT'S POWERPLANT! And this enormous 21 tonn monster was used as tank/missile carrier. PLEASE make a video about such MARVELOUS vehicles, pretty pretty please!

[carmane]

The Tatra tube frame chassis with half axle suspension is one of the best designs for off road of any large truck anywhere

[aussiebloke]

Great video! I've always had a soft spot for the Lada Niva - my brother used to have one when I was younger. My only problem with them was the front suspension...the control arms hang quite a bit lower than the rear axles (solid rear end), so if you're in deep muddy ruts, the front would slide along on the control arms with no real weight on the front tyres, while the rear had clearance and would still be pushing you along. Not a big problem...unless you need to get out of those ruts, which was sometimes impossible without aid from a shovel. And the lack of steering stops, so if you suddenly went to full lock - say, if you clipped a large rock and were going just a little too fast - it would immediately shatter the steering box. (Ask me how I know!) These are the few areas that the Suzuki Sierra (Suzuki Samurai in the US) had over it, as Suzuki used a solid axle for both front and rear, and had built-in steering stops. Both were surprisingly good in the rough stuff, and often embarrassed much larger 4X4s...Toyota Landcruiser, Jeep Wrangler, Nissan patrol, etc. :-)

[TheLpd]

Almost all of those vehicles I saw I was like: "shit, that's amazing"

[hananas]

Personally I actually think the Lada Niva is quite beautiful

[bencegunyho]

Every car that was sold in russsia is an off road car

[OffiYT]

I've driven the UAZ and the Tatra 813, both of them are awesome vehicles with awesome offroad capabilities!

[StriKerMilitaryVehicles]

I am suprised and happy to see one of my videos on your channel. Continue! Greets from Germany :)

[sollly]

What about the Romanian Dac, Roman Diesel, the Hungarian Csepel, Raba, rhe Eastern German Ifa, Robur or the Polish Star?

[thBear]

Tough vehicles made by tough people for a tough climate and tough conditions! Thanks for this exciting video.

[VladPandele]

All of these vehicles were a rare sight in Romania... mainly because we had our own Romanian made version of everything on this list haha


Except the ARO... of course.

[branon]

This channels vids just keep gettin better and better, it's now one of my favs on youtube....

[iliaslamari]

Communist vehicles are great and are underestimated in many Western countries. They may not be super fast or stylish, but they do their work under all circumstances. Today, many of them still travel from the Soviet era. Quality and reliability. I'm proud on that and that is not something like the Chinese vehicles of today. Because the options it does't have, aren't abel to break!

😉🖒 for the Netherlands!
Keep up the communistic stuff!

[mariobarretta]

Lot of those vehicles are still working around my city here in Slovakia! 😁 strong machines

[iSkiLLeTXx]

nice to see the 706 on the list, I worked on 2 trash truck 706 rtk at my old company!

[MacJunior]

Really liked and enjoyed the video, keep making videos like these and you will always have loyal viewers, loved to learn about those cars...
