A Russian Army vehicle was the surprise guest at an annual Suffolk truck show, which showcased lorries from across the world.

With Russian armed forces currently fighting in Ukraine, the vehicle designed by the Soviet-era manufacturer ZiL was a topical addition to the exhibits at the Stonham Truck Show and is used as a multi-purpose truck to carry cargo.

The show at Stonham Barns, in Pettaugh Road, featured about 180 trucks, including American vehicles manufactured by the company Peterbilt and British designs that had arrived from as far away as Scotland and Kent.
