The special vehicle was developed by the Yaroslavl Radio Plant (part of the RKS holding of the Roscosmos State Corporation).
It will be used in the landing areas of returnable spacecraft. The transport is part of a set of tools for receiving, listening to, and recording voice communications between the crew and the search and rescue team, as well as video recording of the descent and landing of the returnable vehicle. It is noted that the Yaroslavl Radio Plant specialists used a KAMAZ chassis with increased cross-country ability as a base.
The van body of the vehicle has two fully equipped workstations for personnel. There are also designed spaces for radio equipment and telecommunications cabinets for installing additional equipment. More detailed specifications of the special vehicle are not known.
It is worth noting that the special vehicle will be useful not only in the future when the promising Russian returnable spacecraft Orel and the Korona launch vehicle begin to fly. Similar units of equipment are also used now when cosmonauts return from the ISS. You can read about how they are greeted, using the example of preparations for the landing of the international crew of Soyuz MS-26, here.
