The Ministry of Defense has published footage of the organization of logistics (MTO) units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the field when performing tasks during the special operation of the Russian Federation to protect Donbass.
According to the Ministry, the rear units of the Western Military District in the field are continuously working on material and technical support (MTO) of troops.
"Field kitchens, canteens, consumer service rooms, field bath and laundry complexes, fuel storage and refueling points, as well as other MTO facilities were deployed in one of the new areas of the units' deployment," the Ministry of Defense said.
According to the military department, conditions have also been created for equipment – one deployed field refueling station can provide simultaneous refueling of up to 10 vehicles.
"My main task within the framework of a special military operation is to ensure uninterrupted supply of fuel and lubricants and refueling of equipment. We fill up different equipment, starting from wheeled, ending with tracked vehicles. This machine is capable of refueling 10 tanks in about 15 minutes. Accordingly, after 15 minutes, the tanks are able to continue the combat mission and begin the march," said the commander of the fuel supply company Artur.
Mobile workshops that bake bread in the field are deployed in the tents of the bakery. Hot meals are also organized for military personnel.
The servicemen appreciate the efforts of the cooks.
"As part of a special operation, soldiers are fed the same way as in everyday life. We try to cook so that the dishes are not repeated. We also provide additional intermediate power: juice in individual packaging, caramel, lard, pate, onion. In the field, porridge comes with canned food," said Eduard, the head of the food service.
After completing the tasks, the servicemen here can change their underwear, wash their clothes and take a shower in the field bath and laundry complex.
In general, the main task of logistics units is not to disrupt uninterrupted supplies, the press service of the Ministry concluded.
On April 17, officer Alexey told the Izvestia TV channel that the soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation deployed a repair and restoration point for military equipment in the field. He stressed that the assembly point of repair is located 15-20 km from the place of hostilities, the masters perform work of any complexity.
The special operation of the Russian Federation continues in Ukraine, which President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24. The key goals of the Russian military are demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. It was emphasized that the strikes are conducted only on the military infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The situation in the region significantly worsened in mid-February due to shelling by the Ukrainian military. The authorities of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics announced the evacuation of residents to the Russian Federation, and also appealed to Moscow for help. On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree recognizing the independence of the DPR and the LPR.
