The Vulkan was developed by Syrian engineers and uses ordnance from other systems, including 122 mm shells fired by Grad multiple rocket launchers.
The Vulkan system, which has a comparatively short effective range of fire, is predominantly used against visible targets, above all terrorist positions.
It can also be mounted on a BMP-1 and other types of armored vehicles.
The GAZ-3308 Sadko is a 2.5-ton, four-wheel-drive truck developed on the basis of its predecessor – the GAZ-66.
It is an excellent off-road vehicle capable of moving fast on rugged terrain – a quality that makes it especially dear to the Syrian military.
