MAZ-7907 (Russian: МАЗ-7907) is a Soviet army 24X24 transporter erector launcher prototype for the SS-24 ICBM designed and developed by the Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ) in Belarus.
On August 9, 1983 the Soviet government issued a decree on the establishment of the RT-23 Molodets ICBM. The projected road-mobile RT-23 system was named "Celina-2" and received the industrial index 15P162.
The first of two prototypes was assembled at MAZ in March 1985. The chassis had to be capable of transporting an RT-23 missile with a launch weight of 104.5 tons, a length of 22.6 m and a diameter of 2.4 m in a launch tube, and the launch support equipment.
RT-23 was deployed as both a silo-based and rail-mobile missile, but the road-mobile version was cancelled.
At least one of the prototypes seems to have been used after the collapse of the USSR for transportation of bridge parts and ships. Their fate is unclear.
Vehicle length is 28.1 m, width 4.1 m, height 4.4 m.
