Yip this vehicle is amazing. It is a sure export success... Put it on resistance side also...

There are dozens of versions, some support, and some very heavily armed...

History:

The Gaz-3937 Vodnik ("Waterman") is a highly mobile multi-purpose amphibious vehicle with cross-country capabilities and it can be seen as the Russian answer to the american HMVVEE. Therfore it is also called the "Russian Hummer" and is one of the latest products of the Arzamas automobile plant. Although the purpose of the vehicle resembles those of its American counterpart, the "Vodnik" surpasses the "Hum-Vee" in many parameters. The Vodnik is a strange design with a narrow cab and a large storage capacity. The vehicle consists of two modules. The module in front includes the driver’s section and the power section which are separated by a sealed wall. The driver’s section of the Vodnik has two seats which are arranged in a row, the driver sitting in front. The rear module is used for personnel or cargo transportation or some special mobile units like command centres and radar installations. Because of this modular system, quick replacement of various rear modules on the vehicle is possible even in field conditions. The Vodnik is completely amphibious. It has a water-displacing hermetic hull, a 4x4-type chassis, independent suspensions, a centralized system of tire-pressure control and a comfortable 475-mm ground clearance. It has bulletproof windows and tires. Its unique configuration allows the use of 26 different replaceable modules.

GAZ-3937 Vodnik Narrow-Cab Utility (4x4): The Vodnik is the Russian answer to the HUM-VEE. Most went to KGB field units, though the Russian Army did acquire some. It is amphibious at a quarter of its off-road speed. The model shown here is the command module, or it can be replaced by an APC module holding up to 8 people.

GAZ-3937 Vodnik Narrow-Cab Mortar Carrier (4x4): This fire-support vehicle was mainly sent to KGB field units, though the Army did manage to acquire several hundred units. The Russian answer to the Hum-Vee, the Vodnik is an odd design, with a narrow cab and large storage capacity. It is amphibious at a quarter of its off road speed.

Hah one day that will be a real in-game picture. I hope we hear from whichever team started working on the Vodnik. I would love to see something more modern than a BRDM in the Russian arsenal, especially the Vodnik with AA cannon mounted on it.

swwweet car/truck/armored car thingy! So basically like the Russian Version of the American Humvee?

Btw, Why doesn't someone make a mod that keeps everything like it is except it has ruskies on the West and East sides? Because russia is an allie (pretty much) to the americans, right?

Model work was completed, outside, no textures, it was going through RHS, before they got hacked into and a lot oof their stuff stolen. It was put on the back burner, due to was working on a new UAZ pack for RHS, a propor BRDM1 and 2 and the Hmmwv pack KA60/62, Mi24 hinds. The big plan is to have all the vehicle packs balanced. but a number of the betas were stolen and released by a number of folks that lack morals, and supported by the community. So kinda left me with wondering why should I bother wasting all that time that must be invested in an addon.

That and inner mod politics aided that fact this addon was not released over a year ago. =p

I'm IRR for RHS to complete a few projects started, CBT don't do anything thats not US Army addons. The people who offered to help me with said project on the Vodnik, flaked took the model to skin it and left the community. =p
