The MAZ-7917 is a Soviet and Russian army 14x12 twelve-wheel-drive transporter erector launcher designed and developed by the Minsk Automobile Plant in Belarus. It was developed mainly as a mobile launcher for the Topol intercontinental ballistic missile. The earlier MAZ-7912 is similar in design to the six-axle MAZ-547A but has seven axles, one of them a dead axle. The MAZ-7917 variant was introduced in the mid-1980s, one metre longer than the MAZ-7912 and with crew cabins like those of the MAZ-7916. The Minsk Automobile Plant article dates its release to 1984. At present the eight-axle MZKT-79221 variant is used to carry the Topol-M, the replacement for the Topol missile.
