Vehicle description: ZIL-131 is an all-terrain vehicle that, despite being produced in the 1980s, is still actively used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It serves as a universal platform for various tasks, including field modifications where heavy machine guns or light artillery pieces are mounted. One popular modification is the installation of the DShKM machine gun in the cargo bed, transforming the vehicle into a mobile fire support platform.

DShKM machine gun: DShKM is a powerful weapon with a wide range of applications. It features a muzzle energy of 19.2 kJ and a high rate of fire, which, combined with its reliability, makes it one of the best in its class. It is effective against lightly armored vehicles, and the B-32 projectile with armor-piercing and incendiary properties penetrates armor up to 20 mm thick at distances of up to 500 meters. This gun uses various types of ammunition, including armor-piercing, incendiary, armor-piercing incendiary, tandem, and explosive rounds.
