ICM35017 35017 ZiL-131 With DShKMd Crew Plastic Kit

The all-wheel-drive ZIL-131 has a reliable design, excellent off-road capabilities, and high load capacity. Although produced in the 1980s, it remains actively used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a versatile platform for various tasks. In combat, some trucks are field-modified with heavy small arms or light artillery weapons. One common modification involves mounting a DShKM machine gun in the truck bed on pedestals or mounts, transforming these vehicles into mobile machine gun platforms for fire support or engaging aerial targets.

The DShKM is a powerful weapon with broad applications. Its muzzle energy reaches 19.2 kJ, and its high rate of fire combined with reliability makes it one of the best in its class. It#s also effective against lightly armoured vehicles - the B-32 armour-piercing incendiary round penetrates 20 mm armour at distances up to 500 meters. The machine gun uses various ammunition types: armour-piercing, incendiary, armour-piercing incendiary, tandem, explosive, and others.
