The truck is a MAZ-7917, but I can't find it with that particular missile launcher. Is it experimental ?

I don't think it's a MAZ-7917, but another version of the MAZ family.  The MAZ-7917 has 14 wheels, whereas this vehicle pictured appears to have 16.

The 8 axel version is MZKT-79921.

350 mm? -> Bigger.

Indeed.  Using the measurments of the Topol-M (~1.86 m) and looking at what is fitting in the same space, I'm going to guess these are about 600 mm ... maybe 550 mm to allow space for the wall of each tube.

 

[ironduke57]

Not so big, "just" 450mm. The Rockets where also 20m long and had an range of 120-150 km.

Sorry for the delay.

Nazeat? -> As already stated it´s russian.

@Colin P
The base vehicle was already identified as an MZKT-79921 (by MCG) which is also used for the Topol M ICBM.

A7V- German answer to the British Mk V

 

[tango22a]

German A7V from WW1.

Tango18A beat me to it.


IMHO it was NOT comparable to the Mark4 much less the Mark V.


Edited to add opinion.
