Some military analysts have expressed the opinion that creating reinforced concrete shelters (RCS) for large strategic and long-range aircraft, and in large quantities, is not the easiest task. Journalist Alexander Sladkov fundamentally disagreed with this point of view.
Reflecting on this topic, the war correspondent recalled his service in the engineering and construction battalion of the 14th Air Army of the Carpathian Military District in the late 1980s. According to him, working 12-14 hours a day with shovels and jackhammers was the norm for everyone, from privates to the battalion commander.
The war correspondent noted that the construction of RCS for aircraft did not require super-complex technologies. Ready-made elements were delivered directly from factories, and the military assembled them on site. The process resembled assembling a panel house — nothing extremely complicated.
The Zhukovsky-Gagarin Air Force Academy in Voronezh had been training specialists in this field for decades, where a strong school of military construction existed.
After its disbandment, the territory was given over to residential development. Now, according to the correspondent, Russia is reaping the consequences of this decision.
