Historical background and vehicle usage

The ZIS-151 is a Soviet six-wheel military truck, introduced into the Red Army service in 1948. It was the first mass-produced truck in the Soviet Union after World War II and became one of the pillars of military transportation during the first decades of the Cold War. The ZIS-151 was widely used by the Red Army, the armies of Warsaw Pact countries, and also, among others, in China and allied Eastern Bloc countries. The vehicle saw intensive use in Korea and in numerous logistical operations between 1948 and 1961, before being replaced by the newer ZiL-157 model.
