Thankfully Ammunition Dumps,

and fireworks factories do not catch fire that often,


but when they do it can mean a more rugged fire truck is needed, like this one, the Omsktransmash СПМ it is actually a 60-ton fire fighting vehicle, made from T-72 and T-80 tanks, with armour around the cab to protect the pilot from what the Russians eloquently describe as ‘adverse external factors’, as of March 2016, the first two will have been built and will have been shipped out to the Russian military by the end of the month, the firefighting tank has a three man crew, I wonder if any will be offered as an export to other countries?
