PST 72023 PARM-1 Soviet Field Repair Truck

The PARM-1 (4x2) was a Soviet mobile workshop car from the interwar period and World War II. The drive was provided by a single 73 HP engine, which allowed the vehicle to accelerate to 60 km / h. The maximum driving range of the car was 200 kilometers, and its weight - when fully loaded - was 6,100 kilograms. PARM-1 (4x2) was developed on the basis of the ZIS-5 truck in order to shorten research and development works and reduce production costs. The car was designed to provide technical support to various types of aircraft operating from field airports. They are also dedicated to carrying out small and medium repairs in field conditions. For this reason, they received, by Soviet standards, relatively rich technical equipment, and in the case of the PARM-1 (4x2), its crew was 7-9 people. As a standard, there were 2 to 4 vehicles of this type per one hunting regiment. It is worth adding that in the years 1941-1944 about 700 PARM-1 vehicles were built.
