The GAZ-AAA was a Soviet truck produced by GAZ. From 1936 to 1943, 37,373 units were built. Like the GAZ-AA and GAZ-MM, it was largely based on the Ford Model AA truck.: 48
The GAZ-AAA involved several modifications to the previous GAZ-AA design. The most noticeable changes made, was a 6-wheeled base rather than the 4-wheeled original, as well as a modified chassis to fit the axle.
The GAZ-AAA saw service in World War II under The Red Army. The Red Army commonly used these trucks as anti-aircraft units, mounting either 4 7.62mm Maxim guns (as seen on the 4M variant), one 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun, or a single 25mm 72-K autocannon.
