The LuAZ-967 (') was the Transporter of the Front Line', a small Soviet four-wheel drive amphibious vehicle. Light enough to be air transportable, it had a payload over most terrain.
==History== The design originated after the Korean War, when the Soviets saw a need for small off-road vehicles comparable to the American Jeep, to supplement the overly-large and -heavy GAZ-69s then in service. It was to be used by Soviet Airborne Forces (VDV) for casualty evacuation, munition supply and the transport of light armaments.
