History and use of the ZiS-6

The ZiS-6 is an iconic three-axle military truck designed in the USSR in the 1930s and produced at the Stalin factory in Moscow from 1933 onwards. The model was based on the popular ZiS-5, with the construction enhanced by the addition of an extra driven axle—resulting in a solid and versatile vehicle, massively used by the Red Army. Over 21,000 units were produced by October 1941.

During World War II, ZiS-6 trucks served on all fronts, not only as transport vehicles but also as platforms for mounting specialized equipment, including the famous Katyusha rocket launchers. Special versions were used as mobile workshops, tankers, and even command vehicles.
