HISTORY:

Around the late 1920s, the Soviet Union was undergoing a mechanization revolution and realized that no purpose-built motor vehicles were available for them to help move cargo and materiel back and forth from point one to point two. The result was the GAZ-AAA truck, which was a truck based on the Ford Model AAA 6 x 4 truck. These trucks entered production in 1932 and were used in multiple roles in the civilian world and in the military.

In the military, the GAZ trucks were used as tractors for gun systems, fuel tankers, radio system, and even armored cars. By 1931, an anti-aircraft version was created as well, in order to give the Soviet Union a mobile anti-aircraft system to work with. The design had four Maxim Model 1910/30 machine guns installed on a mount on the truck. This configuration was called the 4M GAZ-AAA and served as a low-altitude air defense system after being adopted in 1931.

MODDERS NOTES:

first truck i have done, so it was quite a learning experience, also no working headlights since it looked ugly maybe in the future when i get a light script, this thing is very bad as a SPAA but it’s great against badly armored planes (in future they’ll come) but because of it’s amazing fire rate, it’s very strong against infantry, this is my last beta vehicle before i officially start PROJECT S.N.A.I.L. which will be very fun

NEXT IN LINE:

T-26E Which will be the first vehicle to be officially in Project S.N.A.I.L. more information on that when the T-26E is done
