The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation use trucks produced by the Minsk Automobile Plant.
The Russian occupiers are using trucks manufactured by the Minsk Automobile Plant in the war in Ukraine . The corresponding photos were published on the social network by the user Yehor Letov .
It is noted that the trucks, among which was the Belarusian MAZ-5316, were spotted in the Luhansk region, between Luhansk and Stanytsia.
At the same time, “Military” notes that this truck is covered with an anti-drone “barbecue” in the upper projection along the entire length of the cabin. At the same time, the “barbecue” and the body are covered by a camouflage net.
“This truck has not been captured by the Defense Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian MAZs, which were produced under the name “Bohdan” have a different sign,” the publication writes.
The mass media reminds that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation abandoned the products of the Minsk Automobile Plant in favor of its manufacturers.
“The only Belarusian-made platform used in the Russian army is the products of the Minsk Wheeled Tractor Plant and MZKT-7930 – it is a platform for such products as the Iskander OTRK. It can be assumed that the need to purchase Belarusian-made trucks arose against the background of large losses of Russian URALs and KAMAZ trucks, writes the media.
The publication assumes that local manufacturers cannot cover the needs of the Russian troops, so Russia is forced to purchase Belarusian-made trucks. Thus, MAZ trucks can become a temporary solution for operationally meeting the needs of the Russian army.

If Ukraine had done as I suggested for over a year, the AFU could be using those trucks now, instead of the damned cockroaches. They will confiscate everything else from the Belarusians before this war is over.
We will see what happens when Vladolf tries to push through a land bridge between Poland and Lithuania to Kaliningrad. Most likely that would be after 2028 imo.
If – God forbid – Ukraine should lose, then this will become a reality. There is just no way that Poland, Germany, and a few American troops will be able to stop a combined Ukrainian-roach army.
