Cold War Soviet Engineer Gear

This is the rocket launcher that was hiding under yesterdays tent.  I am not sure what it is actually supposed to be.
The tent from yesterday for comparison.
 A group of large cargo trucks.
Support vehicles from my heavy engineer unit.  Note road rollers on the left side.
AVLB on T54 chassis.
Note the upper left a farm tractor, used for towing large aircraft, and the small van that had it's roof repaired a while ago when it was blue.

 Another view of the skip loaders.

I'm thinking the rocket launcher is a 70s - era shorter range SCUD missile. The later ones folks became used to were longer range and longer and thinner. I remember seeing systems that looked like that when I was stationed in Germany - but that has been almost fifty years ago... I hope this helps.

You may be right, I think I got this in the early 1980s so as a toy it would likely be a few years behind real production. Thanks for the information WW.
