Hi everybody.
Actually it is GAZ 59037A. The civil version an BTR 80 (armored troop-carrier). Therefore we name it simply beter.
The machine has been bought in 2005 in the city of Petrazavodske (more than 1000 km on the north from Moscow). It was in not so good technical condition, but not looking at it we the course have overtaken it up to Moscow.
Through 200 km of a way has punched an air route of one of wheels and it has completely lowered. But it was not reflected in behaviour of the machine and we have continued a way. Only after long movement (> 400km) on the speed > 110km/h the tire cover has not sustained and was broke off. But after that all of us equally could continue movement and have reached to Moscow the course.
After careful technical inspection of the machine it was found out that we went on 4 completely lowered wheels from 8.
Then the machine has undergone to careful maintenance operation and small tuning.
