The spouses from Germany are traveling in UAZ "Bukhanke" and are happy!

UAZ "Bukhanka" is a popular Russian van with increased cross-country ability, created in the USSR in 1958. Then the first car 450 series.

Now UAZ is used in Russia and the CIS countries, where there is a problem with good roads. Hunters and fishermen like these cars, those who prefer to drive a few days further away and return by car rather than on foot.

Travelers who are short of money use the UAZ "Bukhanka" - this car is easily repaired at any mechanic's yard in the village. You can also repair the car yourself, having a simple set of tools.

Oddly enough, “Loaf” is also popular among foreigners, in Europe and Japan. Someone chooses an SUV because of its cheapness, someone likes a brutal military appearance.

In today's video, the author of the DW Reports channel showed just such a couple of travelers from Germany. Laura and Ulrich bought a new UAZ "Loaf", and have already driven more than 30 km on it. The driver claims that the car has never seriously broken down during this time, although the build quality, of course, raises many questions.

See for yourself how the journey went!
