The ZIL-2906 (Russian: ЗИЛ-2906) is a screw-driven amphibious craft manufactured in Soviet Union from 1975 to 1979 by ZiL.

The vehicle was designed to recover re-entered Soyuz space capsules from difficult terrain.

It was equipped with heaters for the front seats, transponder and radio and stretchers.

[3] The ZIL-2906 was carried on the back of a ZIL-4906 "Bluebird" (which had a top speed of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph)) until it reached terrain impassable for the latter.

At this point the ZIL-2906 would be unloaded and resume the search.
