The UAZ-23632-148 Esaul was perhaps the most modern vehicle openly supplied to the DPR in the period between 2014 and 2022. Externally almost identical to the civilian UAZ Patriot pickup, the UAZ-23632-148 Esaul was a purpose-built vehicle that incorporated a lot of the lessons learned by the Russian armed forces from improvised ‘technicals’ used in conflicts in the Middle East. The UAZ Esaul had an armoured cab and engine compartment, as well as protected fuel tanks and other modifications. On the pickup bed was a frame including a ring mount able to take a heavy machine gun or automatic grenade launcher. Fifteen such vehicles were supplied to the DPR in a ceremony in early 2021 attended by Pushilin. (Artwork by David Bocquelet)
