==History== thumb|left|Early UAZ-469 In 1956, the Soviet Army ordered UAZ to design a successor for an outdated GAZ-69. At first the vehicle supposed to be amphibious and have a rear engine layout but later the order was simplified, and the car received a chassis of UAZ-450. The first prototypes were called UAZ-460 and had 400 mm of clearance, the model was proven to be prone to rollovers. Later the V4-powered unibody UAZ-471 was made, but its serial production required the plant reconstruction, so it was cancelled.
