The GAZ-AAA was a Soviet truck produced by GAZ. From 1936 to 1943, 37,373 units were built. Like the GAZ-AA and GAZ-MM, it was largely based on the Ford Model AA truck.[1]: 48 

The Red Army commonly used these trucks as anti-aircraft units, mounting either 4 7.62mm Maxim guns (as seen on the 4M variant), one 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun, or a single 25mm 72-K autocannon.

The GAZ-AAA, being a development of the GAZ-AA, involved several modifications, the most noticeable, of which, was a 6-wheeled base rather than the 4-wheeled original.
