Pipeline troops - formations (special troops) of the armed forces of the USSR, designed to provide fuel and lubricants (fuels and lubricants) to the formations of the Armed Forces, deploy field main pipelines and supply fuel through them to the warehouses of associations and formations of the armed forces and perform other special tasks.
Troops motto: - Let's build a highway anywhere and anytime!
The unofficial name of the emblem: - The pipe is calling its heroes!
The pipeline troops are one of the smallest Soviet troops. It's very hard to find photos with them
Military construction formations - military units and subunits intended for the preparation of theaters of operations - the construction of military infrastructure, long-term defensive structures and communications, as well as the arrangement and quartering of troops, both in wartime and in peacetime. In the USSR, military-construction formations were never singled out as an independent branch of the military, but existed only in the form of separate military-construction units subordinate to the relevant command and control bodies.
Troops motto: "We build quickly, efficiently and for centuries!"
The unofficial name of the emblem: "I went home on a tractor, but only the anchor does not start up..."
They say about soldiers from the construction battalion:
Two soldiers from the construction battalion are replacing an excavator "," These are the most terrible troops in the USSR, such animals serve in them that they are not even given weapons, only shovels "
Since the construction troops are not the most technically advanced troops, there was a practice in the USSR to send mainly national minorities there - soldiers from Central Asia, the Caucasus, the indigenous peoples of the North and Siberia, since there were more conscripts from there without special and higher education.
