Historical background and application of the GT-MU

The GT-MU transporter (Russian: Gusenichnyy Transportyor Malyy Universalnyy) was a development of the versatile Soviet tracked transporters, used for transporting soldiers, cargo, and towing light artillery in difficult, impassable conditions. The GT-MU was used by the Soviet Army and Warsaw Pact countries in a wide range of logistical tasks behind the front lines – in swampy, forested, and snowy regions. It was most commonly seen in the 1960s-1980s, although some vehicles were still in service in modern times, mainly in countries of the former Eastern Bloc.
