![]() Like its Cold War Assault counterpart, the UAZ serves as the SLA's counterpart to the American-made HMMWV used by American troops. The main difference with the Armed Assault UAZ is that it is capable of being armed.Īside from the baseline unarmed variant, it is available in two more variants that have heavy weapons mounted onto the turret ring in the centre of the vehicle's roll cage one with a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, and another with a 30 mm automatic grenade launcher. Little has changed from its Soviet-era predecessor, with the UAZ remaining as a simple-to-use light utility vehicle. However, the in-game version is customised to support only two opposite-seating benches which can take support one passenger each. Real-world UAZs can actually carry seven passengers at a time (the driver plus six others) due to featuring triple rear seat together with the additional two seats facing each other in the trunk compartment.However, it still did not retain its original appearance, but instead received wider wheels (from later models of the Soviet UAZ), unrealistically low ground clearance, and a somewhat worn-out/rustic appearance, being painted over with green from the original blue colour (which can still be barely seen at its bottom edges).In contrast to pre-release Ural (which was cut), this model of UAZ was not completely dropped from the final version of the game, but was instead used as the so-called "UAZG", which is exclusively used by the FIA guerillas. The UAZ's original model can still be seen in the Briefing images for the Steal The Car scenario.As such, its appearance was much more realistic and appropriately suited to all-wheel drive military vehicles. It featured a white tarpaulin just like the Ural truck which was angled at its back side, had narrower wheels, and had a sensibly higher ground clearance.The original UAZ from the pre-release/DEMO, identifiable by its distinctive white tarpaulin and angled rear section.The UAZ featured in pre-release/DEMO versions of the game (then-known as Operation Flashpoint DEMO) was quite different from the release version of Cold War Assault. The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content. The UAZ can only transport its driver and three more passengers. It also lacks the capability to mount heavy weapons and has no variants fitted with armament like the Jeep. The UAZ's canvas cover and doors obviously provide no protection against small arms fire, which means that almost any kind of weapon can easily penetrate and injure its riders. ![]() Handling-wise, it turns and accelerates better, and can maintain its speed more easily than the Jeep - the sole caveat being that its top speed is just slightly lower than that of the Jeep's. The Jeep will be disabled entirely whilst the UAZ will only suffer moderate (but not crippling) damage.Īs an off-road vehicle, the UAZ handles fairly well when driving on non-paved surfaces. However, the UAZ is more durable and can easily survive a head-on collision into a Jeep at maximum speed (or vice versa). It essentially functions as the Soviet counterpart to the American Jeep, though the UAZ uses an open-topped body with a rear soft canvas cover instead.īoth vehicles are capable of transporting the exact same number of passengers. ![]() ![]() A fairly robust off-road vehicle, it is designed with simplicity in mind which allows for easy maintenance and repair. The UAZ is a Soviet-made 4x4 light utility vehicle. ![]()
