GAZ-3937 Vodnik

The GAZ-3937 Vodnik, with its modified GAZ-39371 version, is a Russian high-mobility multipurpose military vehicle built by GAZ and adopted by the Russian Armed Forces. It is a heavy modification of the civil GAZ-2330 Tigr. The vehicle is amphibious and propels itself with its wheels when afloat, thanks to a water-displacing sealed hull, and it has a 4x4 chassis with independent suspension, a central tyre-pressure control system and 475 mm of ground clearance. A 175 hp diesel gives a road speed of 112 km/h and 4 to 5 km/h in the water. The body is modular, with removable modules for carrying up to ten people, freight or equipment. It descends distantly from the NAMI-0281 floating car, whose design began in 1985, and operators include Russia, Syria, Uruguay, which received 48 GAZ-39371 in 2006, and Ukraine.
