Historical Information about the NKL-26

The NKL-26 is a Soviet aerosan, a propeller-driven snow vehicle designed and produced by the Soviet Union in the 1940s. The NKL-26 was extensively used during World War II, especially in the northeastern regions, where deep snow made the operation of conventional military vehicles impossible. Typical users of the NKL-26 were Red Army soldiers during battles on the Eastern Front, such as the Siege of Leningrad or reconnaissance missions on the northern sectors of the front.
