Underground bunker for 50 soldiers of the Kara-Dag brigade built in Donetsk region

In Donetsk region, soldiers of the Kara-Dag brigade implemented a project to create an underground residential and defensive complex designed for 50 fighters. The structure of the facility consists of seven steel shelters buried six metres into the ground.

Infrastructure and equipment

Inside the underground settlement, all conditions for the prolonged stay of personnel are provided. The shelters are equipped with a heating system and autonomous power sources. Rest areas are provided for the troops, as well as rooms for storing food supplies and military equipment. To enhance safety, the structure includes emergency exits.

Support for the "Steel Front" initiative

The basic elements of the complex were steel shelters manufactured and handed over to the troops under the "Rinat Akhmetov Steel Front" initiative. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, this programme has already delivered over 1,200 similar protective structures to the defenders.

The range of delivered facilities is diverse: among them are command posts and specialised shelters for drone operators. Based on such steel structures, two underground hospitals also operate at the front line.
