YaG-10, 8-ton, 6x4, Cargo
The 8-ton YaG-10, built at the Yaroslavl state motor vehicle plant (»YaG« or »YaGAZ«) from 1931 on, was for long the heaviest truck of the Soviet Union.
The 96hp. Herkules YXC engine was imported from the U.S. and the rear suspension was copied from the ingenious British WD construction giving the new truck an excellent performance,
Production of the YaG-10 ended in 1940 with a total of just 333 vehicles, some of them used as base for the 76mm 3-K Model 1931 AA gun.
