It doesn't take a brilliant mind to relate the famous PUBG map Erangel with Russia, it is assumed to have been made as a fictional island near Russia then Soviet. Erangel was a fully-fledged city well developed with prime operations like testing of chemical and nuclear weapons for the military. Later expected to have been deserted due to some unwanted error in the power plants which made the environment hostile.
The vehicles on this map like Dacia 1300, UAZ, PG117, motorcycle, BRDM, etc very much resemble actual vehicles made by the countries in the soviet union. Previously we had seen the legacy of the Dacia 1300 and its presence in almost every game we can name. In this article, our prime topic will be the UAZ both open and closed top.
UAZ stands for Ulyanovsky Avtomobilny Zavod. It is an automobile manufacturer company from Ulyanovsk, Russia. It was once famous for its off-road vehicle buses and vans. It was added to the Sollers group in the year 2000.UAZ had made numerous vehicles during the Soviet wartime but its pride remains the UAZ-469 which is the same UAZ closed top used in PUBG.In this article, we'll focus exclusively on our hero i.e. UAZ-469. it is an offroad military light utility military vehicle. It was mainly used by Soviet and other Warsaw pact forced as well as by paramilitary units in eastern bloc countries. The standard actual version could be used as a seven-seater but in PUBG PC it has a capacity for five and even lesser i.e. four-seater in PUBG Mobile.

UAZ was developed from its predecessor GAZ-69 featuring 75hp 2445cc and could run even on gasoline. It had mainly two advantages, it could literally be used on any terrain and was comparatively easy to repair. Initially kept only for the military it was later sold in surplus to private buyers.

In the year 1985 due to industry name designation UAZ-469 was later known as UAZ-3151 and UAZ-469B known as UAZ-31512. the latter was manufactured for the Russian army till 2011, though it was discontinued for the general public because of emission issues. The successor UAZ-hunter is the upgraded version of UAZ-31512.UAZ hunter was sold in Germany and some Asian nations under the name UAZ tiger.

The open-top UAZ was a variant of UAZ-469B which came with a detachable canvas roof. The cabin too was open in this variant. A hard metal roof made of metal or fiberglass could be purchased separately.
UAZ was once one of the preferred war vehicles used and this doesn't make us wonder why its the best in PUBG. There isn't any vehicle better than closed-top UAZ in PUBG for the map Erangel. This vehicle is limited for one map Erangel which makes sense because of the region being itself a Russian island. Also, the maximum speed UAZ can attain was around 143Km/hr.
