'Bukhanka,' 'Tabletka,' and 'Golovastik'.

These are the affectionate nicknames people have given to the various versions of the UAZ-452. For more than 6️⃣0️⃣ years, these off-road vehicles have served both on the front lines and in the rear. They can traverse terrain where there are no roads and can be repaired right in the field using only a minimal set of tools.

In the Special Military Operation zone, they are used to evacuate the wounded, transport ammunition and supplies, and carry troops to the front line. Watch our video to see how these vehicles are built.

You can learn even more about this unique vehicle in the film 'Callsign 'Bukhanka' (2025).


For the first time, the picture was shown at the ‘RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes.’ in Chelyabinsk. Then it was seen by viewers in 2️⃣4️⃣ countries around the world.

If you want the whole world to see your work, submit it to the 5th International Festival. Applications are now open for both the main and international programs.
