Russian Amphibious Vehicle Driver Warning Plate - Check Hull Plugs Before Water Entry

Riveted metal driver warning plate in Russian to check closure of all hull plugs and valves before entering water.

AI caption · Photo 160 of 604

This is a photograph (not a scanned paper document) of a black-and-white riveted/bolted metal instruction plate mounted on the light-colored interior hull of a vehicle. The plate is in Russian and reads: "ВОДИТЕЛЬ! ПЕРЕД ВХОДОМ НА ВОДУ ПРОВЕРЬ ЗАКРЫТИЕ ВСЕХ ПРОБОК И КЛАПАНОВ В КОРПУСЕ", which translates to "DRIVER! Before entering the water, check that all plugs and valves in the hull are closed." This is an amphibious-operation warning plate instructing the driver to verify hull watertightness before water entry. Below the plate is a padded black brow/head pad and what appears to be a periscope or vision block assembly typical of an armored or amphibious military vehicle driver's station; wiring harnesses and interior fittings are visible at the right. The plate carries no year, model, part number, fuse data, or other specifications — only the single safety instruction. It clearly does not belong to a 1993 Ford Bronco; it is from a Russian/Soviet amphibious military vehicle interior. A reader learns only the pre-water-entry safety procedure: confirm closure of all hull plugs and valves before amphibious operation.
