Subdivisions of the Russian army serving in the Arctic Circle will soon begin to receive repair and recovery vehicles and other similar equipment specially designed for operation in Arctic conditions. The decision to form new Arctic repair and evacuation units has already been made.

The Russian military department confirmed the creation of special repair and evacuation units that will be deployed on the territory of the main garrisons deployed in the Arctic. The task of such units is the maintenance and repair of the entire line of equipment in service. Heavy repair and recovery vehicles REM-GT and technical reconnaissance vehicles MTR-G have been specially developed for carrying out work in northern conditions.

As reported "News" citing military sources, both vehicles are in a high degree of readiness and will soon enter the state testing stage. After that, the organizational structure of the repair units will be determined.

Heavy REM-GT was developed on the basis of the DT-30PM two-link tracked conveyor. The main purpose is maintenance, repair and evacuation of all types of equipment. The MTR-G technical reconnaissance vehicle is based on a two-link conveyor of the GAZ-3344-20 tractor. Her task is to get to the damaged equipment, assess the damage and carry out minor repairs.

Both vehicles are specially adapted for operation in arctic conditions and are capable of performing some work using manipulators when the weather does not allow the crew to be outdoors for a long time.

The use of DT-30PM and GAZ-3344-20 transporters as a platform is justified. This technique is very familiar in the Arctic and has proven its worth. On the basis of transporters, a whole family of machines has been developed for use in the Arctic, ranging from mobile canteens and bakeries to anti-aircraft missile systems.

The result is simple - a tractor has arrived
And there was a cable, and there was a doctor ...

Here is the polar "technical" on the way.

the car inspires ... but, the belt is conveyed along the sides in the north ... although, this is probably a prototype.

maybe a prototype.

Of course, even under the photo the signature is appropriate.

Arctic initiative - "in the teeth" permafrost, snow, and swamps in summer.

We have enough Arctic places in Russia and in front of the Arctic Circle. REM-GT is very similar to the "Vityaz" DT-30P. The technique is necessary and very useful.

"On the river l, on the lake
Worked on a bulldozer
All in overalls and dust
I worked hard until dawn
He believed that worms are trump cards
I knocked out rubles from the ground
It was not fate that beckoned me
And not a gold mine
And my wide bone
And my natural anger ... "

The Arctic is insidious with openings ... on the basis of PTS-M it would be possible to build something non-freezing and floating.

So they are non-freezing floating.

The Arctic is insidious with polynyas ...

And the DT-30 family is very floating.

If only there is a letter P. in the index, there are 40 of them in Antarctica.

Ask what the modules of Vostok station will be delivered to the place in Antarctica and how many flights there will be.

It seems to have already been assembled.
There is an article on a nearby site.

[tralflot1832]

No, they just unload it on the shore, and then move another 1200 km across Antarctica. I can't find an article, two days ago I was hovering on VO like an advertisement.

Gave out a military secret?

[tralflot1832]

To move the Vostok modules over a distance of 1500 km, 45 tractors with 28 carts will be used. There will be three trips, and there will be only Vityaz tractors there.

In!

It is very likely that around the new DT-BTR. I am inclined to think that Russia will develop all types of combat vehicles based on the new platform. The advantage of the new platform over the previous auxiliary / civilian platforms is armor, which allows the use of all developments based on it on the front line, with a level of crew protection in accordance with modern Russian standards.
