PV3S ŠA staff vehicle

One vehicle, orginally owned by the AFCR, is in stock. Almost all the equipment is original. A tent shelter is included.
The PV3S ŠA (staff vehicle) is designed for division and high command staff, for which the inside equipment of the vehicle has been adapted. In the front part of the body there is a radio operator’s cabin, equipped with a radio station. The rest of the space serves for the commander’s work. If needed, the working space can be adapted for a workroom, for personnel transport or for a bedroom, or alternatively, all these options can even be combined (Commander’s workroom and partially his rest zone. It has a preparation workshop for connection via remote and local telephone networks. The vehicle also enables the crew to carry out the basic personal hygiene. It is possible to place a lean-to on the side of the body).

The original version of the Praga V3S ŠA staff vehicle (made in the 1950s) no longer met the new needs and standards of the 1980s. There was a lack of the following equipment: sealed-off workplace, filter ventilation, radiological, biological and chemical protection. That is why in the 1980s the Czechoslovak People’s Army developed and innovated the SPŠP version, in which the above shortcomings are resolved.
