Car Russian troops (official abbreviation AB Russian Armed Forces) is an association in the Armed Forces.They are intended for the transportation of personnel and the transportation of food, fuel, ammunition and other material resources that are necessary for the conduct of hostilities.In addition, the road used by troops to evacuate the sick and wounded, and technology.They also carry other units that do not have your own transport.
road consist of troops Russian formations, units, institutions and management.They may be part of a combined arms units and structures of nature, of the armed forces, the armed forces or be separate units and car.
history of motor forces: the tsarist Russia
first road team Russian imperial army appeared in 1906.They were a part of the engineering troops.They were the prototype of the modern avtobata.Four years later, May 29, 1910, in St. Petersburg was created the first educational avtorota.Today this date is celebrated as the Day of automobile troops.Several months later, a car created office of the Division of Military Communications of the Main Directorate of the General Staff.The first regular avtoroty appeared the spring of 1911, when the first rally was organized by the truck, which was planned to adopt.The following year, cars tested.
World War
Before the war, in 1914, the Russian army has five avtorot, which consisted armed with 418 trucks and 259 cars.Despite their small numbers, and the abominable road vehicles played a big role in this war.As a result, road troops were able to prove their worth.They were used for the delivery of military cargo, wounded personnel and mobile machine-gun and artillery points.At the same time, vehicles began to wear armor.So there were first armored cars.In the Russian army there were 400 units were consolidated into 50 broneotryadov who successfully fought on the battlefields.By the beginning of the October Revolution in the army, there were about ten thousand units of motor vehicles, which accounted for 22 avtoroty.
Soviet era civil war
automotive widely used during the Civil War.So, in August 1918 the Council of People's Commissars adopted a special resolution, in which half of the country's vehicles were handed over to the military authorities.By the end of the Red Army numbered four thousand cars, and in 1920 - seven and a half thousand.Some of them were road teams, while others were handed over to the army.Updating the fleet was due to trophies.The main objective of this arm was transporting goods over long distances and for rapid transfer of personnel.In addition, often in vehicles mounted weapons - guns and machine guns.In addition, the vehicles used as Sanitary, headquarters and a radio.
Red Army: before World War II
After the end of hostilities in the Red Army begins updating worn vehicles.The first domestic car that entered the army - a truck AMO F-15.At the same time begin to form battalions of motor learning (made up of five companies) for each military district.In 1933 he created the first mechanical body, which became the world's first mobile connection, all weapons and equipment which had mechanical traction.According to the state it was provided for more than two hundred cars.And by 1936 as part of the Red Army had been formed four such housing.
Industrial Revolution
rapidly in the young Soviet state held industrialization, among other things, reconstructed old and built new car plants.After updating the technical base of the AMO and its renaming Plant.Stalin to make it three-ton trucks ZIS-5.At the same time the new plant begins production Gorky polutorok legendary GAZ-AA.As a result, road troops are equipped with modern appliances, in addition to improving their management of the service.Initially, they were subordinated to the Chief Military Engineering Management, 1924 GVIU converted into a military technical management of supply of the Red Army, and in 1929 created the Office of motorization and mechanization at the People's Commissariat of Defense.In 1935 there is another reorganization UMM Armor Management, and in 1939 - the Main Tank-Automotive Management.
Great Patriotic War
new stage of development of automobile troops began the Great Patriotic War.The rapid change of the operational situation, the growing dynamism of warfare made it necessary to transfer as soon as possible a large amount of materiel and personnel of the army.All this required increase in the number of automobile troops and a more perfect form of organization.As a result, in July 1941, created Road Administration, which is subordinate to the rear of the Red Army.These departments are in the offices of all the fronts.The number of vehicles in the Red Army in this period amounted to 272,600 units.Their foundation made cars GAZ-61 and GAZ-M1, as well as trucks and special vehicles based on GAZ-AA GAZ-AAA, GAZ-MM, ZIS-6 and ZIS-5.In the first months of the war automobile troops suffered catastrophic damage in manpower and materiel in.Some of these losses were offset by the mobilization of technology sectors of the economy, and partly - due to the production of new, but because of the occupation of the industrial areas of the country's total production was low.In addition, the acquisition of units took place and as a result the supply of equipment from abroad.In addition, the trophy has been widely used motor-vehicle (in the period from 1942 to 1943 went to the Red Army as booty 123,000 cars).All this has allowed to significantly increase the possibility of military operations.Immediately after the end of military operations in the army there were more than 664 million vehicles, of which 33 percent was lend-lease machines, and 10 percent - the trophy.During World War II, tens of thousands of fighters avtobata were awarded state awards, and many - the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
postwar time
After World War II the island became a question of equipping the army of all-wheel drive vehicles, including special purpose entities.In this regard, the end of the forties, Soviet industry began producing army vehicles that had wheeled platform 6x6 ZIS-151.In 1953, the production lines of the plant Likhachev go first ZIL-157 and ZIL-164, and the Gorky plant begins production of GAZ-53.During the sixties - seventies of the twentieth century, the work on equipping the army with new types of automotive engineering.So, come on arms UAZ-469, Ural-375, GAZ-66, ZIL-131.In 1975, the Soviet army created a car service, which in common parlance almost immediately was dubbed "avtobat."In the same year the troops received the first representatives of the Kama Automobile Plant - KAMAZ-5310.
Afghan war
At the beginning of the military conflict transporting materiel to troops fortieth army car made thirteen battalions.Thus, the delivery service was a motorcade, which included flatbed trucks (up to fifty units) and ensure cars (up to ten units).In addition, they comprised and refrigerators.The motion was carried out only during daylight hours.Guard columns carried infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and ZSU.During the military operations in Afghanistan were transported avtobatom variety of goods, the total weight of which amounted to more than ten million tons.In 1987 there is another reorganization, and automobile troops move in under the Central Automobile and Road Department of the Ministry of Defence (TSADU).They have quite a branched structure.Now the military units of different types of troops received their part to ensure the transport of personnel and military cargo.The most powerful means of exercising trucking in operational and strategic scale special steel road crews, who are in the frontline, army and central command.
New Era In 2000, by order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation established the Day of the military motorist.This holiday is celebrated avtobatov troops across the country.In St. Petersburg, Moscow and other Russian cities road greeting troops take 29 May.On this day, soldiers motorists hear words of gratitude from their loved ones and command.In addition, the Day of the military motorist decided to congratulate the reserve officers and veterans who have served in the Russian Federation avtobate.In 2010, the combat arm of one hundred years.Occasion timed exhibition in Bronnitsy (Moscow region).It presented the cars that are currently in service with modern pieces avtobata.
Is it easy to service in avtobate?
Today, many recruits tend to get into the service, and most of them somehow find it more easy compared to other military units.However, to repay the motherland in avtobate no better, and sometimes much more difficult than other troops.Frequent transitions marching military transport columns can withstand not everyone, in addition, should take into account that the main direction of the armed forces, which is attached to this part of the car.For example, as part of avtobat engineering troops takes part in permanent pontoon crossings, and this is a very difficult task.
training of officers for automotive troops carried out military engineering schools and academies, because of a special school of automobile troops simply do not exist.In addition, six civilian universities have Russian military departments specializing in this area.
