the next batch of necessary things is there, as they say, behind the ribbon. this mini-workshop is assembled and equipped in one of the rooms of an ordinary residential apartment. having secured the support of his family, ivan smirnov purchased and personally installed 3d printers at home. so, for a year and a half now, without holidays or weekends, around the clock. my homeland gives me everything, and i... am ready to give it to her as well, and then there are our guys, that is, it’s kind of the same, i can’t afford to stay away in this case, it all started with one single copy, which he bought a few years ago, as he says out of curiosity, he printed toys for children, components for his motorcycle, and with a special military operation, he took them off the shelf and reprogrammed them... for new

strategic tasks. at the moment he is printing parts for headbands, this is part of the initiating devices, and then i bought another printer, then another and another, now he has six printers on the way, a recently ordered seventh, all purchased mainly at personal expense - explains ivan, like plastic, a necessary consumable. this is the thing it costs, well... at today's exchange rate 15,000 rubles. well, some buy more expensively, some can afford it, some buy cheaper. he decided that he would help the front in the spring of twenty-two, when he was looking for thematic channels and groups on social networks, and eventually found volunteers who were engaged in 3d production. people also use printers at home in their garages at work, some around the clock, some only during the day, some only at night. i completed my first task for several weeks. remembers that he made

about a hundred so-called ponytails with a dozen caps, both of which are used in combat zones when dropping grenades from drones. the tail is the scientific name, the tail stabilizer, it is designed to guide the projectile in flight, strictly with the fuse down. inkolniki are part of the initiating device , which helps the device to work when it hits the ground, i carried this box with such pride, for a month, which i printed, uh, the item - well, to the transport company, uh, sent it, that's it, they received it there, we were happy that now he manages to produce several thousand parts per month, and the product range amounts to tens of pieces, including finished products and products of varying degrees of complexity , this printer makes a complete set of parts for the reset system,

this printer prints elements of starting tables and, in fact, it also prints elements starting tables, but only the second part. at first glance, everything is extremely easy, set up the machine, start it up and put the finished product into boxes, but in reality the procedure is not so simple, as it may seem. special knowledge is still needed in 3d. not to send a piece of paper there to the printer, it immediately failed, no, it’s a whole science, almost an art, to do all this beautifully and competently, before printing anything, ivan clarifies, you need to think through the concept of the future product, build its engineering drawing and digital model, so there are many technically savvy specialists among the volunteers. in our community we have a whole guild of engineers who can do more than just draw a 3d drawing. carry out, but in principle

to develop complex, ready-made products, this is not only 3d printing, there are also electronics, resets, for example, the same backlights, it’s all with microcontrollers, it’s all you need to be able to program, lay out boards, make them, before the start of svo, ivan had a motorcycle, now he, an experienced biker, got into a car to personally take the products he and other volunteers created to the front line. we send our big greetings and many thanks to the craftsmen at the front, the guys made us shanks for the discharges, thank you very much, everything was delivered, we’ll hand it over to the guys directly fighters from hand to hand, that’s why we go, so that there are no warehouses, there are no transshipment bases, there is a misunderstanding,

and we also bring feedback from there, and we show it to people, and people see that this is not somewhere out there, not in warehouses, not just there for a picture, but actually passed from hand to hand to the soldiers, but here they came... these things that are printed by the guys at the small front, which we need to design such gifts for our neighbors, thanks to the craftsmen at the front for the gifts, and victory will be ours. in that the workshop produces parts for burners, several types of camp trench stoves, and elements for sapper cats. our cats help our sappers to clear areas

that are mined, assembled and literally in one minute you can put it on combat readiness, that’s all. an active rescuer, department commander, 15 years in the fire service, started volunteering a year ago , spends all his free time in the workshop, assembling and preparing stoves for soldiers to send to the front line. this is a camping option, you can cook on it, it is adjustable, that is, we we regulate the air supply, that is, it opens, is completely mobile, assembles easily, easily and is also very easy to assemble, within 5 minutes it can be assembled, flooded and cooked something, that is, enough work for 40 minutes, front mini-sauna

in terms of its dimensions it is many times heavier than a universal potbelly stove, but in the same way, according to the developers, it is easy to use , specially at the request of our guys it was created and designed, as if in field conditions we could not take a bath, this liver helps perfectly, that is have there is a can, which is designed for 55 liters of full-fledged hot water, a faucet, which is also completely melted by wood, some kind of shavings, adjustable, everything opens, there is a very tiny stove in disassembled form. fits into a fighter’s chest pocket, assembles in a few seconds and is immediately ready for use, the burner is ideal for quickly heating up, for example, water for tea, explains alexander. at a convenient moment, while you have a free minute, collect, warm up, drink something, collect further and go on to do your

job responsibilities. in the next room, the components for the subsequent assembly of the sanitary stretcher are being finalized, grommets, ropes, slings, we came up with everything ourselves , so, of course, we looked there, if you take the stretcher, there is something there, military, but i didn’t seem to like everything, everything is what - something old there, some kind of thing, that is, then they looked at a stretcher made of material, the military said it was very good, well, it’s difficult to carry on them, something came to mind, why not try such and such, there ’s nothing analogous did not have. main fabric - thin flexible plastic, it was selected experimentally, volunteers say, they tested samples of various materials for strength , took into account their weight, assessed their ability to repel moisture and frost resistance, in the end they settled on one option, and so on with each element

of the design, of course we didn’t come up with a buckle, they took it from the old eighties, as they were on backpacks, they changed something, so accordingly, they began to eat it, they cut it out, they tried it, they also changed it more than once , they came to some opinion, here is a sling, an ordinary sling, we also look, what is its load, what is the gap, what, at what limit, well, accordingly, we sew , buy, test, evgeniy luchkov served in the fire department for many years, and in his first profession, he is a tailor of men's outerwear, he admits that in this he didn’t work in his specialty for a day, but now his skills are fully useful. as in any war, including the great patriotic war, people, how to say , besides the front, helped a lot, and knitted

socks, and as it happens now, that is, we produce what the soldiers need, anyway, the grannies help, everyone helps. he has a small business producing sports equipment, in march 2020 he could not stay in the country since then he himself, his employees and friends, we have guys and welders come out very often on weekends to work in the evenings they go out and do work during non-working hours, as it were for laser, too, well, there ’s no such thing as a direct day off, we just insert it into the general work plan, we think what needs to be done, this is how we started with sapper cats - explains vladimir, the first batch was about 200-300, based on feedback from the front line, they realized that this is one of the most popular items at the front, a tactical hook, similar to a miniature crossbow, is needed by paratroopers,

infantrymen and even tank soldiers, at the moment, according to statistics, the guys just looked at the machine recently , the fifteenth thousand cats have already gone, but this is not much, in fact, in a good way, every fighter should have a small cat, it is simple, light, it is 160 g. does not require any special skills, hooked it, hid behind an obstacle, pulled it with a rope , that's it. because now after the production of cats was put on stream, they added stoves and stretchers to their assortment, about a thousand of the latter have already been made , and the bourgeoisie - several hundred, and most recently they launched the production of equipment for city sports grounds of the dpr and lpr, for mariupol, this we did a joint project with the humanitarian institute, we made two sports grounds, one in lugansk, already installed , already working, we installed this in the summer, the second one will soon go to mariupol, this is a street sports ground, workout with everyone exercise machines, with horizontal bars, everything is as it should be.

in addition to work and volunteering, vladimir bespaly manages to study, he is a graduate student at the moscow energy institute, he has enlisted the support of student teachers, many of us, at his encouragement, also joined in creating products for the front. we also began to make stoves using the university's resources, and began making cats. began to collect humanitarian aid, with the help of our students and staff, and became fully involved in this process. assistant vice-rector bogdan taranin, founder and head of the tourist and patriotic club horizon, which has been operating at the institute for 30 years. the main activity of the community is restoring the names and perpetuating the memory of soviet soldiers who died during the great patriotic war. the exhibition displays soldiers' ammunition. army , a separate stand for wehrmacht ammunition, and a central stand - this is what we call the fate of a soldier, these are

medallions, personalized things, thanks to which it is possible to establish the names of soldiers missing on the battlefields. the horizon has its own museum, its exhibits have been collected over the years field work of students with search teams, and now things that are done with the participation of we to support donbass are stored here. we are trying to do just this work in a patriotic way. in all its forms we welcome encouragement in every possible way, so the guys who are involved in this work, they are, so to speak, of a slightly higher rank than all the other activists. we pull it through like this, straighten the leaves, here they are , the fabric is double-sided, so it seems to be greener in places, let’s say, yellower in places, so it turns out very natural.

olga arkadyevna is 72 years old, her children and grandchildren have grown up long ago, she has a lot of free time, she decided not to sit at home, but to engage in socially useful activities, volunteering, helping to weave camouflage nets, which are very necessary on the front line. i go, one might say, every day, i only have saturday, sunday, weekends, and so in the morning and usually until... well, well, age, except for olga arkadyevna, i can’t stand it anymore, it’s a little hard, of course, dkkok, that in fryazino near moscow, weaving nets and other handicrafts for the front, there are several dozen more enthusiasts involved, well, initially there were just a few, there were five, then 10 people, then people began to come and come, but no one could actually pass by, because this situation was very non-standard, let’s say , yes. a year ago , the leadership of the palace of culture provided them with space for apprentices, explains natalya pomykalova; in the second

floor hallway, volunteers set up temporary work areas for themselves. we have a sewing workshop, girls who sew camouflage suits, camouflage capes, balaclava, thermal underwear, in general, everything that the guys need most, and here , in fact, are the girls who weave camouflage nets. natalya is a mother of many children, she has five children, the eldest twins are already teenagers, the younger ones go to kindergarten , she herself began making camouflage for the defenders of donbass in the twenty-second year, one of the first, and now she teaches weaving to beginners. our nets go in different directions along the whole front, basically, of course, this is the leading edge, that’s all, we work exclusively to order, we do not we’re doing it nowhere in the air, that’s because there’s actually a queue, there’s a lot of demand , there’s a big queue, i have lists for a month already there, two months ahead, everything is planned out , that is, it’s like we’re handing it directly into the hands of the guys.

evgeniy mymrin, a businessman, he has established his own small production of trailers, with the start of a special military operation, he decided for himself that he would help the front line of donbass, but if we are not there, then we must be here, i cannot seem to stand on the sidelines. from the problems that are happening now in the country, however, at that time, he still didn’t know how exactly to support the front, and began looking for thematic groups of volunteers on social networks, eventually contacting military correspondent andrei felatov. i wrote to him in the chatbot, and at first we helped him purchase some equipment there, and then

one day, i wrote to him, saying that it’s possible, how else can i help, and he wrote, can you? produce, i responded and said: yes, of course, i’ll try, so a front-line garage, a workshop was opened in the moscow region on the basis of evgeniy’s main enterprise. here, a team of enthusiasts, in their free time from work, produces a self-propelled ttt. the abbreviation stands for electric tactical recovery cart. i am now at the stage of connecting the motor wheel, well, to the main system of the control unit, then in the future the power will be connected to it, and then the adjustment, well , setting up the wheels here, in principle, takes 5 seconds; adjustment, then we turn on the power ; in principle, it will already work on two speeds are slow mode and medium mode. igor kochaev finds it difficult to answer,

i’ve lost count of how many of these structures i’ve already assembled. at this stage, he is mainly engaged in installing electronics, i am already putting the finishing touches on, this is how i do it, all that remains is to connect the wheels, configure it, in principle, it will already go , preparatory work is underway in this part of the workshop, vladimir is making frames for future products, parts are being laid for welding into a specially tailored template. simple construction, minimizes errors, simplifies, speeds up the process - the master explains, everything is already bent, inserted, and also sawed,

pressed, fixed, grabbed to the side, then tossed it all aside, boiled it all, well, we stamp it like gingerbread, pies, the work takes about a week, taking into account the fact that the painting is not done here, in another workshop friendly to the front-line garage, completed, completely ready for in operation the cart looks like this. everything is quite simple, the cart itself is compact, and it seems to assemble and unfold very easily, this action does not require any effort, just at the beginning, you need to fix the handle so that it does not interfere, unfold leg. next, we fix the backrest, in this form, now it is sort of well laid out; in the future, it can be used , then we fix the handle, as convenient for the person, at what height, and what height, know-how of

the product, its electrical component, on the handle there is a toggle switch with which to turn on, turn off... and switch speeds, as well as the gas control lever. the first speed, it’s somewhere up to 15 to 10, most likely km/h, the second speed is up to 15, there, the maximum can be 18, if, for example, it’s already if there is some kind of emergency situation , it’s as if you turn on second gear and run, the design as it is now, igor clarifies, was formed after tests in the field, that is, directly in the combat zone. the trolley can support a weight of up to 200 kg. it can also carry cargo, but it is intended primarily for transporting the wounded. the issue of evacuation is a very pressing issue, because before attacking, you need to think through evacuation routes, how you will pull out your fighters, accordingly, this is an additional

load, anton filimonov, is known to many not by name, but by his front-line call sign rokot, the story of the marine who liberated mariupol in the spring of twenty-two became known after he, while rescuing a wounded comrade, was blown up by a mine, i think that now ... order before implementation we will have less, less, less time , leg amputation, treatment, prosthetics and long recovery, all this is behind us, now anton from the rear is helping his people on the front line, including by supporting those important to him look, volunteer initiatives, there really are things that prolong and save lives at the front, they need to be used, they need to be scaled up. one such technology, in his opinion, is the electric cart. anton has already donated several copies to donbass with his own hands; he explains the practical benefits

with simple mathematics. relatively speaking, we are on the offensive there or in defense there, it doesn’t matter where, there are 18 people there, two were wounded, respectively, in order to evacuate two, out of 18 people there are already more half will simply go to evacuation, it turns out that the front is exposed, therefore. they came up with such a cart and tested it, one person, one cart, the design was invented at the forefront, the design drawings were developed in st. petersburg, they produce a self-propelled tt in the moscow region, send it to the front, receive feedback and improve it, this process goes on non-stop, says evgeniy mymrin. we are now working on making these tires puncture-proof, putting so-called muss inside there, this will also be russian production. and it all improves this cart. the next step that the volunteers of the front-line garage have planned for themselves is the release of

the endura electric motorcycle; one of the prototypes of the product is now being tested in real front-line conditions. the motorcycle allows you to travel very quickly, the guys told, they even told the story that when they evacuated a wounded soldier, they fought like hell. they were chased by a komikaze drone on two even they got away from them on this motorcycle and on one day 29 people were evacuated in one day on one motorcycle, that is if they are protected because there are few of them, and if there were more of them, then the issue of evacuation would practically disappear. next door to evgeniy , his brother eduard mymrin is working, together with his team, he assembles suvs for the front from scratch on a turnkey basis.

the coolest thing is that this buggy, buggy - it's, uh, a buggy, it's very strong, very reliable, this is the most important quality for a car that is used in very difficult conditions, the next thing, yes, is that the car has very high smoothness, has a very high cross-country ability very high maneuverability. edward started his business many years ago by importing chinese cars. at the same time, he, a design engineer by training, understood that foreign cars required significant technical improvements, then the madi graduate decided to create suvs himself, adapted to russian realities. for 13 years we have been doing only bugia and nothing but bugia, and yes, during this time we have indeed accumulated vast experience in designing high-speed all-terrain vehicles, that is... we so far, about eight independent platforms have been designed , bugs gained worldwide popularity thanks to the paris dakar and silk road sports races, russia has

its own championship, and it is there that developers test their equipment for strength under extreme competition conditions. our peculiarity is that we have the developments that we did in sports, we put them into our, well, ordinary cars, that is, not into racing cars, but into ordinary cars, there are a lot of... tested components from motorsport, regularly participating in rally raids, eduard in as a result, he received a personal rank as a master of motor sports, and his team and colleagues in the shop twice became vice-champion of russia, but all this, after the start of a special military operation, faded into the background, well, this is the situation now, where the guys need help, yes, where there is not enough equipment, i know about it, so i know what it is... we are not dealing with civilian products now, we are just working now, everything for

the front, everything for victory. for almost 10 years, their machines have been operating in syria, since last year in the donbass, in the northern military district zone. recently on the front line another suv has set off, assembled in these workshops by those who believe in victory and are doing everything to bring it closer as soon as possible. you know, it’s such a thrill when you... start the engine of a tank for the first time, you just feel this power, when i decided to come to donbass, they thought i was completely crazy, seventeenth, please go down to the intensive care unit, they asked called, well, ready, not ready, as if not ready, as if always ready, just like women made a big contribution to the great patriotic war, so

nowadays women do... a lot, here, where i am as a doctor, for example, and as a driver, i can probably bring more benefit than i will sit in the office at the computer when she just comes up to you and even just hugs you and says a word , that we believe in you, it gives a lot, but i won’t sit at home, idle, this is my land, i will protect it, i won’t give it to anyone. have you flown before? i haven’t done a lot of things before, and then i did, it’s a dream, but to fly with me, you ’ll promise now and won’t take it, i won’t take it, i’ve been waiting all my life for you and i to just talk, you don’t want to hear anyone but yourself, we can’t put it off, we’re preparing to take off, it’s hard to keep up with a person.

dad, i want to see you, who is trying to catch the wind, every day i write him a letter, and then , when he returns, i give him mine, and he goes to me with his in the storm, why are you bothering me, what do you want, let him go down, wherever he goes, i worry every time he leaves, but he comes back, he promised me, master of the wind, come on, fyoda, where? there is a huge large-scale construction going on, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, the whole of big russia is here, the process of restoration is underway, we have fairs every saturday, everything that

we eat ourselves is what we sell at the fair. more people returned to the city, of course, sales would be better, there are a lot of people, visitors, a lot of construction workers, and restaurants are opening, this is relevant, business is returning here, there are a lot of investors who already want to work here and invest their money, i would say the relationship between russia and belarus, the current situation is testing in many ways the strength and consistency of our relationships, which were formed over many years, i once started a long time ago on a twenty-seed bilaz , this bilaz 220 tone. we will update 170 units of trams, the name was taken exactly as the friendship of minsk and the lower new city, we need to focus on

cooperation between the two... strange, i think that from this we will only become stronger. deevnya is the preservation of the nation and continuation. we cordially take you to our astramechavo land. i would call the relationship between russia and belarus is unique.
