From all of those photos we can see the figure of an eight-wheeled vehicle with a worn faded metal body as if it originated from the post apocalyptic era like depicted in the 'Bethesda: Fallout 76' fiction game. But actually this vehicle created at the Soviet era back in the 1950s in Chelyabinsk.

Although it has eight wheels, but surprisingly its weight is only 600 kg. The secret of the light weight is thank to use of aluminum panels that is applied to the body and and (they say) the chassis too.
Beside that the vehicle has dimensions were no bigger than a sedan in general. Just imagine, the vehicle has a length of only 4,530 mm, width of 1,900 mm and height of 1,490 mm with four wheels each on the left and right.

Unfortunately, not much information is known about this amphibious vehicle apart from its all-wheels-drive system plus components taken from the GAZ-M20 'Pobeda.' Furthermore, the report did not mention whether the vehicle was in good condition or vice versa.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSCOOPS | DESIGN YOU TRUST | RUSSIA BEYOND]
