What’s the “Soviet Car”? Is it just a normal car with soviet soldiers inside or is it a special vehicle model?

I’m not sure at the moment.
I thought it was another model of car, but it could also be a björk just with a red star.
I could check it maybe on tuesday.
I also thought I could find a screenshot at Gysbert’s hike route guides, but it isn’t there.
You know it if you see it.
Edit:
Checked it today. I really thought it was another car, but it’s just a normal one with two soviet soldiers there.

It’s a normal car. I put it on the map because of the two soviet bodies there. Just to remember they are there. It would have been nice if we got indeed some Soviet markings on the cars they use.
Maybe it’s intended.
Their are invaders. Should they come here with a normal soviet car? They could also draw a target marking on it then. So they used a normal swedish car instead to not get too much attraction. Didn’t work obviously, as the machines target everything and everyone.
That might be true, if it weren’t for the Hovercrafts, Firebirds, Machines, Chests and Outposts all with soviet markings on them. It doesn’t look like they were too concerned about attracting attention.
I did not think, to add this non-special car to the route. But on hind sight, the two special Soviet soldiers make it special, so might add it. Lore-wise, I believe they were the first sighting of those armoured Soviet soldiers. Can you confirm?

For me all the signs of soviet presence we saw before Landfall were some kind of vanguard.
There were small outposts, in general hidden, and therefore these two guys were interested not to be seen immediatly as soviet soldiers and used a normal swedish civilian car.
Everything else (hovercrafts, machines and more greater outposts) came with the landfall in Landfall-Update.
I just don’t know anymore, if this armored soldier with his exosuite has been there all the time befor landfall or if another soviet soldier was replaced by him.
At least these soldiers were, in my eyes, the first soldiers with a soviet uniform that have been seen. Even at the hidden castle ruin outpost western of lilla dyrbo there were no corpses, if my memories aren’t false.
They were there long before Landfall. Soviets came to the game with the Nov '20 Update.

Oops made a booboo!
I was editing the map a few days ago and accidentally deleted text records from one of the layers, however I had not noticed that I did that when I published the map. Later I saw that a lot of location names were no longer there.
So I fixed that today (thank the stars for backups), and re-uploaded the map to Google drive.

Are you still playing without problems? I haven’t noticed anything of crashing on my side, and I’m in the game every day. I just enjoy a daily walk in the Östertörn landscape. Anyway enjoy the map, and let me know if you think I missed something.
