Russian media sources reported Tuesday the start of serial production of mobile shelters engineered to protect against multiple threats, including blast waves and radiation from nuclear detonations. The Russian Emergency Ministry's research institute revealed that the shelter, resembling a reinforced protective unit, designated as "KUB-M," is designed to sustain occupants for up to 48 hours.
The developers explain that the "KUB" comprises two distinct modules: a main shelter accommodating 54 civilians and a technical facility. The unit can be enhanced with water desalination systems, diesel-powered generators, and additional equipment.
"The mobile shelter serves as a multipurpose protective structure against various threats, from natural disasters to man-made catastrophes," developers stated, characterizing it as "a crucial advancement in civilian protection measures."
The announcement follows the Biden administration's decision to permit Ukraine to deploy long-range US missiles within Russian territory - a move the Kremlin condemned as reckless, warning it would trigger a Moscow response.
