Bolt Action Soviet Gaz 98 Aerosan
The GAZ 98 Aerosan was one of the most unusual vehicles fielded during World War II. Designed as a propeller-driven snowmobile, it was used by the Soviet Red Army to patrol snowy terrain, deliver reconnaissance, and harass enemy troops in areas inaccessible to conventional vehicles. Its speed and mobility across frozen landscapes made it a valuable asset during harsh winter campaigns, though its light armour meant crews relied on hit-and-run tactics.

About the Vehicle:
Introduced in 1942, the GAZ 98 Aerosan was powered by an aircraft engine and could reach speeds up to 50 km/h across ice and snow. Crewed by two men, it typically mounted a Degtyaryov machine gun for offensive action. While vulnerable to enemy fire, its ability to appear suddenly in remote areas made it highly effective for reconnaissance, raids, and supply missions in deep snow.
