Just curious as to what the modern Russians use as their medical troops and vehicles? I have seen no Russian ambulance on either GHQ or any competitor's catalog. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

HKurban - According to the 1991 version of FM100-2-3 The Soviet Army (ah, back when they were commies) Regimental Medical Points had 2 Zil series trucks and 3 Gaz 66 trucks. There were (Are?) four UAZ 450 series ambulances. One of the Gaz trucks has a decontamination unit, there's also a water and kitchen trailer. There were 34 personnel assigned to the unit.
Hope this helps. Maybe someone else has some more current information.
I looked up the UAZ 450 on Wikipedia. It's a minivan. Reminds me of a 1960's Volkswagen van.
