Likely to be older generation kit. T55, T62, BTR-60, towed D-30 and AKM rather than AK-74 etc. And probably equipped with 'civilian' trucks mobilised from the local economy - Soviet era civvie trucks were considered 'war reserve' items IIRC.

Reservists recalled to the colours would likely have done their national service 3 or more years back as well.
