Servicemen of the fifth naval construction battalion of the US Navy (NMCB-5) began to build copies of military equipment from wood. The military erected plywood copies of Humvee cars. The models are designed to equip the 17th combat logistics regiment during the exercises, [...] the Defense Blog portal writes.
Such copies of the equipment are designed to reduce the cost of exercises without compromising their realism. The plywood model of the Humvee corresponds to the dimensions of a real car, which allows it to be used in logistics exercises, practicing the transfer of equipment.
Military builders from the NMCB-5 deployed to the American base in Japan. The forces of the construction battalion are called upon to provide engineering support to the joint forces in the Indo-Pacific region, the newspaper notes.
During the Russian exercises in the Pacific Ocean, which took place in June, Tu-22M3 bombers worked out tasks to destroy an aircraft carrier strike group of a conditional enemy. The Drive then called the exercises an "unprecedented threat" to the United States.
