Hi Colleagues,
Can you give me a hint,
How can I translate the following lexeme, e.g.:
Трактор AB-222 ?
Choose, for instance, between
The AV-222 Tractor
AB-222 Tractor
AV-222 Tractor (attention to the need to transliterate the labelling letters here!)
, or whatever else?
Many thanks in advance,

It depends!
For a list of equipment, no article.
For a description of the type of vehicle, use "the":
The AV-222 Tractor is a state-of-the-art vehicle designed for use in the most rugged terrain...
For a specific vehicle, use "a/an":
An AV-222 tractor can be seen in use in this photograph of a field in northern Siberia...

I would transliterate in almost all cases.
