History
The MZKT 7930, also known as the “Astrolog,” is a heavy-duty 8×8 truck developed by the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant in Belarus. Introduced in the 1990s, it was designed to transport and support a wide range of military systems, including the Iskander missile launcher, S-400 surface-to-air missile system, and radar equipment. With a payload capacity of around 24 tons and a powerful diesel engine, the MZKT 7930 provides exceptional mobility both on and off-road. Its robust design and versatility have made it a cornerstone of Russian and allied military logistics and missile deployment strategies. The vehicle remains in active service, underpinning many of the Russian Federation’s most advanced weapon platforms.
