As you know Siberia has extreme winter and the absence of any kind of roads on huge distances. But Siberia is also very important for Russia; it is magic tablecloth for the country. And civilized people who live there need to communicate, not only by the radio. For postal delivery and passenger transportation in 1960 aero-sled “Sever-2” (North-2) were created . It based on the Soviet post-war car “Pobeda” (Victory). The improved aero-sled “Ka-30” replaced “Sever-2” in 1962. Vehicles were designed by engineer Nikolay Kamov, famous for his helicopters.
