Toyota Mega Cruiser SUVs are used in small numbers in the Russian army. Some cars are used in the civilian version, others are converted to meet the needs of the military.
Thus, one of the versions has been used by the military since 2022. They placed a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun in the back of the car. According to the Ministry of Defense, this right-hand drive car was used by paratrooper anti-aircraft gunners to cover the Airborne Forces units from air attack by the ZU-23-2 crew.
As a reminder, the ZU-23-2 is a twin 23 mm anti-aircraft gun. In Soviet times, such weapons were actively used in the army on trucks, for example, during the Afghan war, to provide fire cover for convoys.
Toyota Mega Cruiser is a full-size SUV that was produced from 1995 to 2002. It had civilian and military versions. It was sold only on the domestic market in Japan. The all-wheel drive car was equipped with a 4.1-liter turbodiesel and a four-speed automatic transmission.
