The Perfidious
ShiL-135Sh
The ШiЛ-135Ш is an interesting creation. Based upon the Kimmerian K-220 chassis (domestically produced by the ShiL Industrial firm as the -135), the prototype-turned-widespread-production-vehicle of the Ш(Sh) variant saw great success as a heavy equipment transport in the mountainous regions of Khakassia, and Elam as a greater whole. Originally conceived as a way to transport SCUDs offroad, the front wheels are mounted onto hydraulic jacks of a transport aircraft, and are capable of traversing 90' to either side. This results in an extraordinarily small turning radius.
Based on the ZiL 135-Sh, one of the coolest prototype vehicles I've ever encountered. God bless soviet engineering. Additional thanks to Ian on the cab, those front windows are of his making (however, as per usual, the internal support structure and all of the cab except for the front windshield is 100% mine).
Everyone else was making trucks, so why not me too?
