Čaj GAZ-46, vojna oznaka MAV (ruski, малый автомобиль водоплавающий, mali plutajući automobil), je rusko svetlo vozilo na sva četiri točka koje je ušlo u službu pedesetih godina prošlog veka i od tada ga koriste mnoge savezničke snage Istočnog bloka. Tokom Drugog svetskog rata Kanada i SAD prosledile su Rusiji velike količine vojnog materijala. Među njima su bili džipovi, kamioni i amfibijska vozila kao što su 6×6 DUKW i Ford GPA od 4×4. Ovo poslednje je korišćeno da bi se pomoglo ljudima i opremi da škednu preko mnogih reka istočne Evrope i bore se protiv Nemaca. Videvši zasluge takvih vozila, Rusija je posle rata odlučila da razvije dva slična vozila, koristeći domaće automobilske delove, BAV, ekvivalent DUKW-u i MAV-u, što je ekvivalent Fordovom GPA.

General Characteristics and Role
The GAZ-46 MAV (Maly Avtomobil Vodorodny, or “Small Water Vehicle”) was a Soviet light amphibious military vehicle developed shortly after World War II. It was essentially a direct, slightly scaled-down copy of the American Ford GPA ‘Seep’ amphibious jeep, which had been supplied to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease program during the war. The GAZ-46 was designed to provide troop and equipment transport across water obstacles for reconnaissance, liaison, and light patrol duties. It featured a boat-like hull and a conventional four-wheel-drive system on land, complemented by a propeller for water propulsion. It served primarily with the Soviet Army and Warsaw Pact nations.

Design and Legacy
- Design Basis: Directly based on the Ford GPA (Seep), but modified to utilize standard Soviet GAZ-M20 Pobeda car components for easier logistics and repair.
- Wartime Influence: The need for an indigenous amphibious vehicle arose from the success and utility of the American amphibious jeeps used during the war.
- Construction: Featured a boat-like, welded steel hull for watertight integrity and a conventional automotive chassis within the hull.
- Successor: The GAZ-46 was eventually replaced by more advanced amphibious vehicles and specialized armored personnel carriers in the Soviet military.
