The model represents a set that was mainly used in the 1960s and 1970s (the Cold War period). The ZIL-131V vehicle was widely used as a multipurpose truck in the Soviet Army and Warsaw Pact countries. In this set, it played a crucial role in the transport and handling of SA-2 Guideline surface-to-air missiles (also known as S-75 Dvina). The SA-2 system gained fame during conflicts such as the Vietnam War and in various regions of the Middle East.
