- Compact, modular, waterproof steel container on the UPP chassis or a small truck based on the customer preference, movable by lift truck, crane , aero-transportable
HISTORY
GPU SPZ 2 is a unit of the second generation, developed by our engineers. Earlier types of SPZ, namely SPZ 1 and modernized SPZ 1 M have been made with lower performance then SPZ 2 is. Higher parameters and better mobility of SPZ 2 guarantee full service for all basic types of NATO aircrafts, from light training up to heavy cargo aircrafts.
