Unique SUVs - experimental "Niva", LuAZ and UAZ

There were three light SUVs in the Soviet Union. These were the VAZ-2121 Niva, UAZ and LuAZ. There was also the GAZ-69, but its assembly was eventually transferred to the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. Then the UAZ-469 was developed on this chassis. Of all the Soviet SUVs, ordinary people could only buy Nivas and LuAZs. The former were initially developed for the civilian market. The latter were not in great demand, and there was a separate one for the military cross-country vehicle front line. But the Lutsk all-terrain vehicle was considered "collective farm" equipment even in the USSR. Such vehicles were rare in the city.

But today we will not talk about serial SUVs of the Soviet period. There were interesting developments in the USSR on the chassis of LuAZ, VAZ-2121 and UAZ. Some of these cars disappeared in the 90s. Some were dismantled for scrap metal, some were secretly sold to collectors, perhaps even abroad. But there are cars that have survived to this day. They were restored and put on display in the "Patriot Park". You can see this equipment with your own eyes. And if you can't come, no problem. Thanks to the video on the "Review Machines" channel, you can learn about them without leaving your computer.
