This was the standard 30 meter ladder throughout the USSR until the introduction of the Kamaz.

The 6X6 chassis was universal, which is not difficult to understand after seeing that most streets in many Russian cities remain covered in thick snow for long periods in the Winter.

Although Cuba acquired fire trucks from many places, most were either Russian ZIL or East German IFA.
