A family of Vodnik light high mobility multi-purpose army vehicles is manufactured by the Russian automaker GAZ. It is a Russian attempt to build a 4x4 vehicle, similar to the US HMMWV. This multi-purpose vehice is in service with the Russian Army. In 2006 Uruguay ordered 48 Vodniks.
The Vodnik military vehicle is named after a male water spirit from the Slavic mythology.
The Vodnik has modular design. Vehicle has front and rear replaceable modules. Engine and driving compartment is located at the front of the vehicle. The rear module is used to transport 10 troops, specialized equipment or cargo. The GAZ Vodnik can be fitted with various weapon systems, including heavy machine guns or 120-mm mortars.
