I didn't notice the Russian origin before, I had to look it up. I assumed as they are a Renault truck they were made in France.
Mack has a plant in Hagerstown, Md. where they manufacture axles, transmissions and rear axles under one roof. The engine is a Renault DXi 11 Which appeares identical to the Volvo D11/Mack MP7. the transmission is Allison and the transfer case is ZF. I'm not sure what axles they went with. As they were assembeled in Canada. It would seem odd to ship engines from Europe when they make the same engine in MD. But business does odd stuff all the time.
It's possible Russia uses Kerax trucks but they likely support homegrown designs first like the U.S. does. The U.S. did buy the Unimog but they have Freightliner badges on them and they are more a tractor than a truck.
I don't think any truck in the world will handle the mud in Ukraine right now. As for the ditched ones nothing will run without fuel. Kamaz trucks i believe are very capable in skilled hands by the youtube videos of them i have seen.
