In addition, support units use adapted refueling equipment, such as buggies. Where even a small-sized one-and-a-half-cubic-meter tanker cannot pass, a high- проходимый buggy with a trailer takes up the challenge, from the tank of which it is possible to covertly and quickly refuel several vehicles at once.
