The main works on the construction of facilities for combat duty and the deployment of personnel have been completed, the construction and arrangement of technical positions, park and storage areas.

For example, within the framework of this work, one of the oil companies, in parallel with the provision and refueling of aircraft at the airfields of the Armed Forces, continues the construction of fueling complexes meeting international standards. Suffice it to say that the oil company invested about 12 billion rubles in the construction and reconstruction of fuel facilities in three years.
In 2014 – 2015, eight fueling stations were built in different regions, and four more sites are currently under construction, which are scheduled to be commissioned in 2017. The result of this project will be fuel station complexes built at 2020 at 23 airfields. ”
