The ZIL PKTs-1 was a Soviet experimental vehicle of the Airoll type, designed in 1965 by the research department of the ZIL works under B.A. Grachev. Like Borg-Warner's Airoll, it ran on tracks made from chains of free-running tyres.
The design was judged unsuccessful: too bulky and heavy, lacking lateral stability, thirsty for fuel and prone to rapid wear.
