"The expedition saw the testing of modern, upgraded and prototype military vehicles, which have already returned to the town of Bronnitsy in the Moscow Region," the Ministry said in a press release.
The Ministry added that a total of fourteen vehicles took part in the expedition, including two six-wheeled amphibious all-terrain vehicles: the Trekol 39294 and Trekol 39295.
The Trekol is equipped with large low-pressure tires and is available in two versions, passenger and freight. The vehicle's fiberglass body has a very low level of thermal conductivity and is possible to operate at temperatures ranging between — 45 °C and 45 °C.
Also participating in the tests were the KAMAZ 43502 Patrol and the KAMAZ 53501HL truck as well as an Ural 63706 Tornado-U with an armored cab, the Ural Next 6x6 and the Ural 4320-3XL.
Dozens of studies on more than 30 indicators ensuring the reliable operation of these vehicles in Arctic conditions were carried out during the expedition.
It said that the vehicles covered more than 6,000 kilometers to confirm their advanced characteristics in the Arctic's difficult climatic conditions. All the goals and tasks of the expedition were implemented in full, the Ministry said.
