History

In the mid-1980s, Wanshan Special Vehicle started to replicate the heavy Soviet / Belarusian MAZ-543 truck in Wanshan . Which was to serve as as a mobile rocket launch pad for short-range missiles like the DF-11 . The result of these efforts was called WS2400 8 × 8. Initial problems in the production of the vehicle could be remedied by the assistance of Belarusian experts in the late 1990s.
