[@brianb-p6586]

The intent to carry missiles with nuclear warheads does not make the truck "nuclear".

For those that wondering. No, the 7904 is not a truck featured in original Mudrunner. Some madlad modded it in...

For those who don't get it, the CCCP made a lot of "Design Experiments" for land, sea, air, propaganda, and a great practical teaching tool for your design bureaus. So of course they made the "Largest Ever" often, but they also made cool stuff like trolley trucks, powered from the Grid just like trolley buses & street cars... The large trucks based on the dual driver MAZ-543 chassis that could transport pipeline, rail or other similar cargo that turned out to be the "Most Economical" being that they were most useful. Considering that the MAZ-543 mobile missile launcher carriers never had a functioning missile inside, these useful trucks transported large & long materials during or after the fall of the CCCP. And the longer your rails, pipes, etc. the less wielding needed for your railroad line, pipeline, etc...

If it is the largest in Soviet history, is there anything made since then that has been larger? Maybe holding it in for an upcoming video then?

[@matsv201]

Kind of depends how its defined. But something like a Caterpillar 797 is about twice as large as this unit. Then there is modular load carriers or SPM. They are configurable to carry pretty much what ever you can think of. There is multiple times where they been used to carry 1000s of tons of buildings in one go. But of cause, they are modular, so its not one vehicle, but maybe 50 or 100 connected together. Then there is stuff like the LARC-LX that is.. slightly smaller, but only have 4 wheels. So it kind of depends how you define a similar vehicle. but a cat 797 is for sure larger

[@nagyandras8857]

MZKT-79221 carries a 1.0 Mt icmb that has a range of 10000 km (6800 mi approx) and a speed of mach 22. It weights around 104,000 lbs. Mzkt can carry that. Dumptruck wise for mining they got the Belaz , 793,000 lb curb weight. Its actually the largest and most powerfull mining truck on the world. And its built in large numbers ever since its introduction.

[@maurusluctum8886]

This never was a "simple" truck for driving around the country. It was a carrier platform for rockets. It was intended to just carry a huge rocket a few 100 meters to a launch pad. That's all. No need to hate or horse around wtf

[@ranidekel]

Either these are 51 inch tires or they’re 2.8 m in diameter, you usually can’t have both:) Thanks for the content, great job!

[@francislutz8027]

They use 51" rims I assume the circumference is 9.2ft. The picture of the man standing in the rim reiterates these figures

[@andyguyuk1]

Haha

[@VisioRacer]

Exactly, the tire is for a 51" rim with the outside diameter of 2.8 m

[@ranidekel]

@@VisioRacer OK, understood now:). US sizes which are usually used for big and off road tires are diameter x width - rim size, and whenever saying a tire is “xx” inch it is customary to refer to the diameter. As long as I have your attention, your truck videos where you delve into technical details other than just the engine are the most interesting to me personally. If you could do other videos talking about technical subjects other than just the engines that would be superb. Keep up the good work, enjoying your channel.

[@cameronturner7475]

With or without school children in them? Because if you use fully loaded American school buses with fully loaded American children you're going to have to go into decimals. "This gigantic hulking behemoth of lead and steel weighs the same as 0.57 fully loaded American school buses, now that's heavy!"

[@goldengear6125]

There are vehicles we aren't exposed to. If someone were to spend some time on KZbin long enough they'll see for themselves. For instance, the spheracle wheel from I robot is a real working design. As well as the car to go with it. It's not in production for many reasons. One being one wheel costs more than a super car. IT WAS AT A CAR EXPO. Not many people noticed it though. And vehicles like this that no one knows about is no surprise.

[@Danger_mouse]

Love your videos, another great and obscure vehicle 👍 You mention in this one that the main engine is a 4 stroke, but the way the one in the vision starts and hunts at idle suggests that it might be a 2 stroke. Do you know for sure which it is?

[@Guds777]

In olden days Russia had great thinkers and innovators, but with Communism comes the nature of not think at all but waiting for someone else to tell them what to think. Sad state of once great nation. Ruined by own devices and stupidity. China went the same way. America if you are not careful you will end the same way too...

[@kristoffer3000]

This is the dumbest thing you could possibly say. Before the revolution Russia was the poorest country in the world and after only 30 years they literally beat the Natzee's and were a superpower to rival the US. Socialism (not communism, not like you know the difference anyway) highly encourages thinking, planning and education. There's a reason the first thing that happens in socialist countries is anti-illiteracy programs and free education. The Soviet citizens were some of the best educated people on the planet, which might be why they were leaders in medicine, space travel, music and art, cinematography etc etc China are going the same way but doing even better, as of 2020 they eradicated poverty, their home ownership rate is the highest in the world, they're the leading innovators in tech, green energy and electric cars for example, almost like you know nothing about either, you uneducated muppet. The huge irony here is that you're told to think that ignorant shit by the media, yet you've never seen any proof of it and here you are, proving you've gobbled it like it was a 3 michelin star meal.

So much of a joke that a lot of them are still running today! Some even in commercial use in poorer countries where they don't get very good maintenance but just keep on running. Much better than any Western vehicle that you have to fix regularly because it's made for profit first and to do a job as a secondary goal.

[@yottadrive]

@@kristoffer3000 Western vehicles used to be even better than Soviet vehicles in the 20th century. The Volvo 240, VW Beetle, and Toyota pickup trucks in general are just a few examples. Soviet Union actually copied Western designs but made them worse. And greedy companies aren't just in the West, lots of Chinese car companies are even more greedy.

[@kristoffer3000]

@@yottadrive It's pretty obvious you're quite ignorant and propagandized about the topic at hand, I suggest doing some reading as it's quite interesting. The Lada wasn't a copy, it was built under license and they actually improved it quite a bit, made it reliable for one... How many Fiat 124's are there still on the road compared to the Lada 2101 for example, now compare how many are in actual daily use as well and you'll find the Lada is far from worse than the Fiat. Chinese cars are far cheaper, how are they even greedier in reality? Not just your propaganda fairy tale land of make believe and lies.
