A new fuel tanker in a protected version based on the Ural vehicle - ATZ-8 - has been developed for the Russian army, Colonel Vladimir Demirov, head of the Rocket Fuel and Fuel Directorate of the Resource Support Department of the Russian Defense Ministry, told Izvestia.

"This sample can withstand direct fire from small arms, as well as save people and fuel from MLRS shrapnel," Demirov emphasized.
This special equipment is used in the zone of special military operation.

In Russia, the Day of the Fuel Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is celebrated on February 17.

Earlier "Izvestia" wrote that several new pipeline brigades will be created in the Russian army. The principle decision on their formation has already been made in the Ministry of Defense.

These compounds are needed to supply troops with all kinds of fuel and water during large-scale combat operations. In addition to solving military tasks, they have repeatedly come to the aid of civilians during emergencies. Separate pipeline brigades were created in the Russian army after the Great Patriotic War.
