How the Volga was protected by the KGB from a nuclear explosion

The black Volga is a “cool” symbol of the USSR, which could mean anything: a big boss is sitting in the car, a person who “knows how to live” or this car belongs to special services. Particularly the KGB. Seeing such a “wheelbarrow” in your rear-view mirror on a trip did not bode well. In addition, it was not possible to break away from the chase if something happened. Why?


On the channel "PrivetTachka" the author tells how the special vehicles of the past are arranged using the GAZ-24 as an example. Outwardly, they were no different from the standard Volga. Even the color is not necessarily black: they also disguised themselves as a taxi. But if you open the hood, you could find there not a standard four-cylinder engine, but a super-strong “eight”, easily giving out two hundred “horses” at a “maximum speed” of 190 km / h. Where to drape? Faster to the curb!

But not only the special vehicle turned out to be an engine. The transmission is also not mechanical (but why are there 3 pedals in the cabin?). And also - a bunch of electronic "bells and whistles", among which the most "modest" is a telephone. Remember, this is the early 24's. And what else was in the secret GAZ-24-24 and GAZ-25-XNUMX? You will learn from the video - the author will tell and show how the “KGB” car, protected from a nuclear explosion (how ???), differed from the serial Volga.
