5. Bobik
Many sources often quote 9,000 as the number of Bobiks that were made. This is however contradicted by other sources that offer a different figure. Nonetheless, the Bobik was a lightly-armored four-wheeled scout car by the Soviet Forces. Russian Army used it between 1942 and the 1960s for reconnaissance missions and liaison. Bobik was used both in the Second World War and the Korean War.
Equivalent to the American Jeep, the construction of the BA-64 was an initiative of GAZ chief designer V. A. Grachev. Design work started on July 17, 1941. While the first prototype of this small, light armored car was tested on January 9, 1942, and its hull had similarities with the sdkfz-234 basic shape. The vehicle was operated by a crew of two and had an open roof, not forgetting the pintle-mounted 7.62mm DT machine gun.
