Russia has initiated mass production of mobile bomb shelters, known as “KUB-M,” designed to safeguard against various threats, including radiation and shockwaves.
Kabul 24: The emergency ministry’s research institute announced that these shelters resemble reinforced shipping containers and can be deployed in Russia’s northern permafrost regions.
Shelter Specifications
The KUB-M unit can accommodate 54 individuals, with options to add more modules for increased capacity. They offer protection from radiation, shrapnel, debris, and fires13.
Context of Production
This development occurs amidst escalating tensions in the Ukraine conflict, with Russian forces reportedly advancing significantly. The announcement coincides with the U.S. allowing Ukraine to utilize long-range missiles against Russia, prompting the Kremlin to warn of potential repercussions that could involve direct U.S. involvement in the conflict23.
