Just Imagine being in that Soyuz taking that shot!?!
If you ever have seen those massive dump trucks on a mine site and compare how many would fit on that pic..............
Here is a ( very quick,very bad ) pic I put together. Not sure if I got the ratios right ( I think the truck should have been a bit smaller).
Cheers

Just had a quick look at dimensions for both vehicles.
ROUGHLY....
ss height 17m - truck 7m
ss length 37m - truck 37
ss width 23 - truck 9

so the ss is roughly 2.5 x the size of a Cat 797 haulpak
