What is its function?

In the Donetsk region, an underground tunnel nearly 6 kilometers long has been constructed for the Armed Forces of Ukraine; it facilitates the movement of personnel and vehicles, the delivery of ammunition and supplies, and medical evacuations. This was reported in an interview UkrinformDmytro Pishko, head of the Support Forces Directorate at the Headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Airborne Assault Troops Command,

“Another achievement of our engineering ingenuity is an underground tunnel nearly six kilometers long, which was constructed between two settlements in the Donetsk region. This engineering structure ensures the uninterrupted and concealed movement of personnel, motorized vehicles, and ATVs, as well as the delivery of provisions and ammunition and medical evacuations,” Pishko said.

He added that all of this enables various units to successfully carry out combat missions.

According to Pishko, thanks to another solution devised by military engineers, in 2023 the 81st Separate Slobozhansky Airborne Brigade used a floating transporter throughout the winter to conduct medical evacuations.

“The road bridge toward Lyman in the Donetsk region had been blown up, and the detour took a long time. But with the help of the PTS-2 floating transporter, we saved 30–40 minutes, which is very significant for the wounded. That winter, the guys made 86 trips this way,” the department head emphasized.
