I'm curious how US Trucks or Mil vehicles would hold up on that route..Think 5 / 10 tons or ? could survive?

Most of those trucks are civilian versions of the Russian military trucks. Ewan McGregor did a motorcycle trip around the world. They were in Eastern Siberia during the thaw and couldn't cross a raging stream. One of the truckers tried it and immediately buried the front end in the swift water. He was able to back out but they had to spend the night there until the water went down. Makes the guys from Ice Road Truckers look like...another name for a cat!!!

And some people think the canadian ice road truckers have it rough. That would be one heck of a job.

Winter Driving in Afghanistan

Not Russia but Afghanistan in the winter...add mines and IED's and it makes it much more hazzardous.
