Specifications ZIS 151 Transport Vehicle with P-15 as Missile Truck 1948 blueprint

The ZIS 151 transport vehicle with P-15 missile truck (1948) is an iconic piece of Soviet engineering, designed for heavy-duty transportation tasks during the Cold War. Its powerful 152 HP, 6-cylinder gasoline engine was capable of hauling immense loads due to its strengthened longitudinal frame and twin-spoke, live axles. The vehicles no-nonsense, utilitarian design was highlighted by its long chassis, boxy body, and right-angled corners, perfectly designed for a multitude of military and civilian applications. The ZIS 151 was designed as a modular system, allowing for quick and easy changes depending on the requirements at hand. The vehicle could be quickly converted for use as an ammunition carrier, troop carrier, engineering vehicle, or some other classification if needed. A convertible tarpaulin cabin provided protection from the elements, and the P-15 missile truck featured its own turret, allowing it to double as a tank during combat. The truck was armed with a range of missiles that could be fired from the turret. As if that wasnt enough, the ZIS 151 was incredibly long-lasting and reliable, thanks to its robust construction. Its rugged engine and simple operation meant that the vehicle could stand up to some of the toughest conditions imaginable. Even in its later years, when modern transportation had supplanted it, the ZIS 151 stood as a testament to the reliability and durability of Soviet engineering.
