ZiL-131 of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with Driver Figure

The Ukrainian Armed Forces operate a variety of military trucks. These are used for transporting personnel ammunition military cargo and for towing artillery guns. The fleet includes modern vehicles of Ukrainian and Western production as well as a significant number of trucks left over from the Soviet Union’s dissolution. One of these vehicles is the all-wheel-drive ZiL-131. Its production began in the late 1960s and in 1986 a modernised version the ZiL-131N was introduced. The truck is known for its high reliability and excellent off-road capability. 

As of 2024 this vehicle remains in service with the Ukrainian Army as a multipurpose general cargo truck. Drivers for these military trucks are trained at special courses and training centres which include both theoretical and practical training on driving ranges. A key aspect of military vehicle operation is that drivers are fully equipped and armed while in the cab. The skills of a military driver are critical to both their own safety and that of their comrades. The battlefield can present many different scenarios and military drivers must be able to react quickly to changing situations.
