An engineering brigade with a training center in Murom is being formed in the engineering troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

In Murom (Vladimir region), the Ministry of Defense is creating a training center for the emerging pontoon-bridge brigade of engineering troops. Chief of Engineer Forces Lieutenant-General Yuri Stavitsky in an interview RIA News announced that the new brigade, which he called unique, will consist not only of pontoon and bridge-building battalions, but also of airborne units. It is not entirely clear yet what specific “airborne units” in the composition of the engineering troops in question.

The equipment is supposed to equip the brigade with ferry-bridge machines.

Yuri Stavitsky:
By the end of the year a pontoon-bridge brigade will be formed - a serious compound, the only one in the Armed Forces. She will have quite large opportunities to build crossings on water barriers. In Murom, the equipment of the training center for this unique connection has already begun.


For reference: PMM-2М equipment is used as a ferry-bridge machine. The capacity of the ferry, consisting of two such machines, is 85 tons. The length of the ferry is 20 m, the time of its assembly is about 8 min.

      ... It is not yet clear what specific “landing units” are we talking about ...

      Clear as daylight. To build a bridge or pontoon crossing, you must at least control both banks. This is at least. And during the fighting and other work, there will be many for paratroopers ...

        Why write articles and comment without fully understanding the question? There are such units in the engineering troops as, for example, a troop-assault platoon (in a separate battalion). The structure of which includes the floating conveyors PTS-2 and PTS-M, which are intended for the transport (landing) of personnel and equipment through water barriers. There is another technique (even for moving divers underwater). I think, briefly explained what
        what specifically are "landing units"
        in engineering troops in question.

          General, you are absolutely right. We are talking specifically about the inclusion in the brigade of units of engineer-sapper troops with the mechanical airborne means you named. Unfortunately, few of the local "commentators" in this thread. So they dream of enemy saboteurs on both banks and, in opposition to them, the Airborne Forces and the marines.

        This seems to be about giving this part of the airborne forces and coordinating actions with the combat unit of the paratroopers.

            At first, they successfully disbanded (optimized to 0), now they are no less successfully proud of the ONLY brigade. Yes, such teams should be at least one in the district.

        Usually, there is an airborne transfer company in engineering battalions. In Soviet times, the PTS-M-61 was used. And other means of crossing. But this is awesome !!! Combination of TCP and GSP Well done designer !!!

      Let's bring them to Rostov, the millionth city, and only three bridges (one of them is dismantled), let them train in the morning and cross over, in the afternoon they will sort it out (for barges to pass) by the evening again. We must somehow deal with transport collapse. And even if there are specialists, road builders from the Moscow Region let them train to lay roads, at least for the 2018 World Cup. Otherwise, the city authorities have no time.

        Revive the unity of the army with the people)) Smiled.
        In general, for Russia with its rivers, streams, gullies and swamps, the creation of such a unit is relevant. Why not.

      It is not yet clear what kind of “landing units” in the engineering forces are in question.
      Airborne cross-section platoons and companies exist in the engineering troops, and this is what they are talking about.

      This, of course, is good. But one brigade on such a huge country will not be enough?

      I would like to see how the hard drives are parachuting to the rear of the enemy? And where is the enemy draping at the sight (only seeing all this)?
