Day of the creation of pipeline troops of Russia


14 January Pipeline troops of Russia celebrate their professional holiday. November 22 1951 Chairman of the Council of Ministers I.V. Stalin signed a Resolution on the manufacture of a prototype pipeline of a new generation, writes calend.ru.

The USSR Ministry of War and the Ministry of Oil Industry were instructed to conduct joint testing of the pipeline in the field. January 14 1952 of the year on the basis of the adopted Decree of the USSR Minister of War Marshal of the Soviet Union A.M. Vasilevsky signed a directive, which prescribed the formation of the first separate battalion of fuel pumping. It is the date of the signing of the directive that was the birthday of the pipeline troops.

Gradually, the first divisions of the pipeline troops turned into regular troops, and by the end of the 80-s the best field collapsible trunk pipelines in the world were built. At present, pipeline troops are part of the Central Directorate of Fuel and Fuel and have no analogues in foreign armies.

For several decades, designers, engineers, pipeline soldiers, workers have created, developed and put into service various sets of field trunk pipelines that have no world analogues, machines for their installation and mobile pumping facilities.

Today, the main "weapons" of the troops are pipelines, pipe-mounting equipment and other means of mechanization of work, as well as special vehicles and communications. And their main task is to ensure the continuous delivery of fuel over long distances.

A serious test of the combat readiness of these troops was their work during the war in Afghanistan, on the territory of which field field pipelines with a total length of over 1200 km were deployed to supply fuel to the Russian troops; as well as during the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus.

The operational and competent work of the pipeline troops was repeatedly confirmed in peacetime during the aftermath of natural and man-made emergencies: putting out large forest fires and peat bog fires in recent years, eliminating the 1989 earthquake in Armenia and eliminating the accident at the Chernobyl NPP when it was Uninterrupted supply of a large amount of water (up to 4 thousand cubic meters) from the nearest reservoirs to maintain the operation of the concrete plant and other facilities on the territory of the nuclear power plant. In addition, all their actions have helped save many human lives.

        Not heroic units, that's right. You can’t draw a bat on a pipe. Well And to wave wings without fuel to the point how, not weak? Or tank before refueling crew.

        Colonel-General V.V. Colonel-General V.V., continued attention was paid to the actions of the pipeline troops in Afghanistan by the heads of the Central Administration of Rocket Fuel and Fuel of the USSR Ministry of Defense (TsURTG MO). Nikitin, Lieutenant General N.N. Bazanov and V.A. Blokhin.
        The creation and use of the pipeline and storage system during the period of hostilities in Afghanistan paid off in full measure when providing troops with fuel.
        The main load on the transportation of fuel in the "district-army" link was borne by field trunk pipelines.
        Since 1985, when the development of the field trunk pipeline lines (PMTP-150, PMTP-100) was completed, the scheme for transporting fuel to the troops took on its final form. The main pipeline routes ran 2-30 m from the roadway, and in some sections up to 200 m. [1]
        In the eastern part of Afghanistan, in the Kabul direction, the main artery for supplying fuel was two lines of field trunk pipelines to the Hairaton-Bagram direction. The Turagundi-Shindand pipeline was deployed in western Afghanistan.
        Through field field pipelines with a total length of 1200 km, troops of the 40 army were supplied 5,4 million tons of oil products, which made it possible to satisfy the need for jet fuel by more than 90% and gasoline by 35%. [2]
        From fuel depots connected to field trunk pipelines, fuel was delivered to troops by 7-8 fuel delivery battalions.
        The process of creating and developing pipelines in Afghanistan can be divided into three stages:
        • initial - laying of field trunk pipelines for transshipment of fuel in two directions (Kabul and Shindand) with overcoming the border rivers Amu Darya and Kushka;
        • creation of a pipeline and storage system in the Kabul direction;
        • creation of a pipeline and storage system in the Shindand direction.

        He wrote last year, but, apparently, our regiment arrived for those who missed, I repeat.
        In 1973-75, he served in the 32 separate pipeline battalion on the island of Kitz on the Oder River (part of the former city of Kustrin not far from Seelow Heights, where our recruits took the oath).
        Organizationally, the battalion was part of the 7 th separate pipeline brigade with headquarters in Fürstenwalde / Spree. In the brigade there were 6 (six) otbb, communication bn and 10 separate autobat (2 company of pipe carriers on Zyl-157, company of heavy pipe carriers on KrAZ-219 and 4-i company - rigging - truck cranes on Ural-XNUM base) . With the exception of 375's otbb, based in Strausberg, Roslau and Kitsu, everything else was located in Fürstenwalde.
        In addition to the headquarters with the communications platoon, otbb included 2 pipeline companies, a group for receiving and delivering fuel, and separate automobile and transport and economic platoons. Technique: pumping fuel stations (first PSG-75 based on GAZ-51, after a year of PSG-160 on Zil-130), pumping pumping plants ZCH-65 / 130 double-axle trailer, ZIF-55 compressors (for crimping), pipe trucks Zil -157K, trucks GAZ-66, truck crane LAZ-690, drilling and soil machine BGM-131 and more on the little things
        The task of our battalion was, if necessary, to stretch a few threads through the Oder to transfer all types of fuel for GSVG from the SGV. The rest of them solved their tasks, but the special members constantly emphasized that our sworn friends always followed the most attention where our trumpet tinkled, because that is where the direction of the main strike of the Group will be.
        I served in avtovzvod and watched pipeline workers from the side. For some reason, our great composers did not compose professional songs for them, so they bungled their drill themselves as best they could. She caused a smile, especially the chorus: “Twist the fastest pipe-rotation amicably platoon”. (With a whistle they tightened the nuts of the couplings connecting the adjacent pipes). But their work on the exercises during the laying of pipes and their dismantling caused respect, because at that time through their hands passed a lot of tons of iron. At the end of the day, they literally wobbled with fatigue. (As special forces after returning from exercises, this is personally for Footmansur86).
        From service in this battalion I have only good memories
        Quote: Kovrovsky
        In the SA, the waterborne troops had their own emblem: a piece of pipe with a gate in a wreath

        Must fix. This is not a piece of pipe with a valve. This is a valve connected by two pipe couplings.
        By the way: this is a powerful strategic weapon. With the help of such a valve, at the expense of "times", it is possible to shut off oil or gas for the whole part of the world. Europe, for example.

        Composition:
        - headquarters with a platoon of communications and control;

      He began his service in the pipeline brigade of the Northern Fleet (military unit 26926, currently reduced) near Severomorsk (Shavor), there was a fuel base nearby. The brigade commander, Colonel Razhev, had the Order of the Red Star for Afghanistan. The officers are mostly graduates of the Ulyanovsk Higher Technical School named after B. Khmelnitsky. Then there were command (4 years) and engineering (5 years) faculties. There was a popular joke: "Those who have not been able to learn in 5 years study for 4 years!" In the SA, the pipeline troops had their own emblem: a piece of pipe with a vent in a wreath; the navy wore the usual naval uniform of the coastal troops.

        Good day, Yura! hi Really cool guys.
        The first “baptism of fire” took place in the field collectors in the war with Finland in 1939 - with their help, fuel was received from the railway tanks that arrived at the warehouse in fuel depot No. 1012 of the 8th Army of the Leningrad Military District.
        In the spring of 1942, to provide fuel for the 61st Army of the Bryansk Front through the Oka River, as well as to supply the Leningrad Front, a metal collapsible pipeline with a diameter of 75 mm was laid across the Volkhov River, and rubber-fabric hoses connected to each other by metal sleeves were used for the underwater part.
        In the fall of 1942, a pipeline was laid for the Stalingrad Front along the Volga bottom from the Vladimirskaya Pristan area.
        In 1942, a steel pipeline was laid along the bottom of Lake Ladoga to a depth of 13 m. The decision to lay the pipeline was made in April 1942. Pipes with a threaded connection were additionally welded to ensure reliability. The installation of a 29-kilometer-long pipeline (including 21 kilometers underwater) was carried out for 43 days under continuous enemy fire (2-2,5 kilometers from the front line). In 1943, the length of the pipeline was increased by another 5 kilometers. Alternate pumping of various types of fuel was carried out: gasoline, naphtha, kerosene and diesel fuel.
        In March 1943, a pipeline with a diameter of 100 mm and a capacity of 700 tons per day was laid across the Don River.
        In the spring of 1944, in Ukraine in the region of the Lots-Kamensky railway bridge. The length is 2,72 km, including 1,07 km by water.
        In January 1945, in the area of ​​the refinery of the city of Ploiesti (Romania). Diameter 100 mm, length - 225 km, capacity - 40 cubic meters / h.
        At the end of 1944, sets of collapsible pipelines were delivered from the USA under Lend-Lease. A line with a length of 220 km and a diameter of 100 mm is in the rear lane of the 2nd Ukrainian Front.
        In the winter of 1945, two lines were laid across the Vistula River in the areas of Fordon and Graudense.

        And mind you, they were not there then! request Or were what
        Happy holiday, men, you have something to be proud of!

      The impressive capabilities of these troops are demonstrated by their civilian counterparts: the phrase "Otherwise, we will turn off the gas!" from the "Diamond Hand", I hope everyone remembers. And one threat to turn off the gas to the same Geyrope, I remember, worked wonders. So the servicemen - a happy holiday, and even with their help, our enemies will quickly "The pipe will come". drinks

      A friend served in these troops in the German Democratic Republic. After a demobilization, his unit was transferred to the DRA (Afghanistan). Six months later, he lost his military ID in civilian life. When recovering paper requests .... The answer came, there is no such military unit. BURNERS BURNED ..... Dushmansky Chronicles only reminded of the dead

      A very necessary kind of troops, without it as without arms. With such distances as in our country, trucks and tank cars do not reach long distances.
      Happy professional holiday to everyone involved. drinks
