KAMAZ trucks deliver fuel to field depots in the free zone

The rear units of the Russian troops received KAMAZ trucks, large-capacity tankers. The new vehicles have already proven themselves well in the special operation zone. Such equipment is necessary in order to deliver fuel to the field depots of military units. Experts note that such vehicles are especially relevant during the period of mudslide, and in conditions of active hostilities they need as many as possible.
