Airfield service and chemical protection vehicles. Chassis 43203 was used to house both the previous APA-5 airfield launch units and modernized vehicles for single or group electric starting of aircraft engines and on-board power supply.

Military Chemical Academy The Red Army (Workers' and Peasants' Red Army) was created in accordance with the Resolution of the Council of Labor and Defense, Order of the Revolutionary Military Council of May 13, 1932 No. 39 on the basis of the military-chemical department of the Military-Technical Academy of the Red Army and the Second Chemical-Technological Institute. The formation of the academy was completed by October 1, 1932. It included military engineering, special and industrial faculties.

The Academy was staffed with teaching staff capable of not only providing high level training students, but also to successfully solve complex scientific problems that advanced the interests of the country's defense capability.

The history of the further development of the academy was determined by the intensive preparation of the states of the fascist bloc for the outbreak of a world war using chemical weapons. This determined the need to ensure reliable anti-chemical protection of the Red Army and the technical re-equipment of chemical troops. To solve these problems, specialists were required - highly qualified military chemists. Their training at the academy was considered one of the most important measures to strengthen the defense capability of our Motherland in the pre-war years.

Having highly qualified scientific potential, the Academy is quickly becoming a major educational and scientific center of the country's Armed Forces, an initiator of scientific development of problems of armament of chemical troops and means of defense. Within the walls of the Academy a whole galaxy of outstanding scientists grew up who glorified Russian chemical science not only in their own country, but also abroad.

The Academy is deservedly proud of such outstanding scientists as academicians of the USSR Academy of Sciences E.V. Britske, S.I. Volfkovich, P.P. Sharygin, V.N. Kondratyev, I.L. Knunyants, M.M. Dubinin, A. Fokin .V., Romankov P.G.

The high title of Hero of Socialist Labor was awarded to graduates of the academy N.S. Patolichev, L.A. Shcherbitsky, A.D. Kuntsevich, L.K. Lepin, I.V. Martynov, K.M. Nikolaev.

Thanks to the selfless and heroic work of these people, our country has taken a leading position in the theory and practical creation of new chemical technologies in industry and production mineral fertilizers, artificial fibers, cellulose and paper, monomers and polymers, medicines, adsorbents. Their fundamental theoretical works formed the basis for the training of several generations of scientists and specialists for educational, scientific institutions and the country's defense industry.

During the Great Patriotic War, the Academy, together with the chemical defense troops, made a significant contribution to the Victory, preventing the Nazis from starting a large-scale chemical war, and the flamethrowers covered themselves with unfading glory, having performed many heroic deeds. The Motherland highly appreciated the merits of the academy’s personnel. The title of Hero of the Soviet Union was awarded to: Zhidkikh A.P., Lev B.G., Linev G.M., Myasnikov V.V., Chikovani V.V.

Graduates of the academy honorably fulfilled their military duty in Afghanistan, during the counter-terrorism operation in the North Caucasus, and during the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident.

For organizing work to eliminate the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the head of the chemical forces, Colonel General V.K. Pikalov. was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

For courage and heroism shown during the performance of a special task by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation to senior lieutenants I.B. Panfilov. and Tsatsorin G.V. awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation.

In 1998, by decision of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, a number of Military Academies were transformed into Military Universities, and many military schools were transformed into branches of these universities.

In accordance with the order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, the actual name of the university was changed to “Military University of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S.K. Timoshenko (Moscow)”.

In 2004-2005, the “Military University of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S.K. Timoshenko (Moscow)” was transformed into a state educational institution of higher professional education “Military Academy of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S.K. Timoshenko."

In 2006, the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation decided to relocate the state educational institution of higher professional education “Military Academy of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S.K. Timoshenko” from Moscow to Kostroma. The implementation of the activities was planned in four stages and covers the period from June 2005 to September 2006:

at the first stage (by June 1, 2005), the Military University of Russian Chemical Defense was transformed into a Military Academy in Moscow and the Kostroma branch of the university was transformed into the Kostroma Higher Military Command and Engineering School of Russian Chemical Defense (military institute).

at the second stage (until September 1, 2005), the cadet training department of the engineering faculty was transferred to the Kostroma School.

at the third stage (by July 1, 2006), the Military Academy was relocated from Moscow to Kostroma.

at the fourth stage (by August 1, 2006), the Kostroma School was merged with the Military Academy.

The main staff of the academy was redeployed to Kostroma by July 1, 2006. The opening of the new Military Academy of NBC Defense in Kostroma took place on the opening day academic year— September 1, 2006.

On June 12, 2007, the Academy, one of the first among military universities, was awarded the Battle Banner. In the same year, the first graduation took place at the state educational institution of higher professional education “Military Academy of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S.K. Timoshenko (Kostroma).”

In 2008, the “Saratov Military Institute of Biological and Chemical Safety” was attached as a structural unit to the “Military Academy of Russian Chemical Defense named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S.K. Timoshenko (Kostroma)”, and on the basis of the Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School ( Military Institute) (Tyumen) and the Nizhny Novgorod Higher Military Engineering Command School (Military Institute) (Kstovo) branches were created with the subsequent naming of the academy: Federal State Military Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Military Academy of the Russian Chemical Defense Troops and Engineering Troops named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S.K. Timoshenko."

In order to improve the structure of military educational institutions of higher professional education of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, by order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, branches of the academy in the cities of Kstovo (Nizhny Novgorod region) and Tyumen were liquidated.

Since 2013, by order of the Government of the Russian Federation, the academy again became known as the “Military Academy of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S.K. Timoshenko.”

Today, the Academy is a training and methodological center for the Russian Chemical Defense Forces, training specialists for all Armed Forces, as well as power ministries and departments not only of the Russian Federation, but also near and far abroad.

An excerpt characterizing the Military Academy of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense

The forces of twelve languages ​​of Europe rushed into Russia. The Russian army and population retreat, avoiding a collision, to Smolensk and from Smolensk to Borodino. The French army, with ever-increasing speed, rushes towards Moscow, towards the goal of its movement. The strength of its swiftness, approaching the target, increases, just as the speed of a falling body increases as it approaches the ground. A thousand miles away is a hungry, hostile country; There are dozens of miles ahead, separating us from the goal. Every soldier of the Napoleonic army feels this, and the invasion is approaching by itself, by sheer force of swiftness.
In the Russian army, as they retreat, the spirit of bitterness against the enemy flares up more and more: retreating back, it concentrates and grows. There is a clash near Borodino. Neither one nor the other army disintegrates, but the Russian army immediately after the collision retreats just as necessarily as a ball necessarily rolls back when it collides with another ball rushing towards it with greater speed; and just as inevitably (although having lost all its strength in the collision) the rapidly scattering ball of invasion rolls over some more space.
The Russians retreat one hundred and twenty versts - beyond Moscow, the French reach Moscow and stop there. For five weeks after this there is not a single battle. The French don't move. Like a mortally wounded animal, which, bleeding, licks its wounds, they remain in Moscow for five weeks, doing nothing, and suddenly, without any new reason, they run back: they rush to the Kaluga road (and after the victory, since again the battlefield remained behind them near Maloyaroslavets), without engaging in a single serious battle, they ran even faster back to Smolensk, beyond Smolensk, beyond Vilna, beyond the Berezina and beyond.
On the evening of August 26, both Kutuzov and the entire Russian army were confident that the Battle of Borodino had been won. Kutuzov wrote to the sovereign in this way. Kutuzov ordered preparations for a new battle in order to finish off the enemy, not because he wanted to deceive anyone, but because he knew that the enemy was defeated, just as each of the participants in the battle knew it.
But that same evening and the next day, news began to arrive, one after another, about unheard-of losses, about the loss of half the army, and a new battle turned out to be physically impossible.
It was impossible to give battle when information had not yet been collected, the wounded had not been removed, shells had not been replenished, the dead had not been counted, new commanders had not been appointed to replace the dead, people had not eaten or slept.
And at the same time, immediately after the battle, the next morning, the French army (due to that rapid force of movement, now increased as if in the inverse ratio of the squares of the distances) was already advancing by itself on the Russian army. Kutuzov wanted to attack the next day, and the whole army wanted this. But in order to attack, the desire to do so is not enough; there needs to be an opportunity to do this, but this opportunity was not there. It was impossible not to retreat to one transition, then in the same way it was impossible not to retreat to another and a third transition, and finally on September 1, when the army approached Moscow, despite all the strength of the rising feeling in the ranks of the troops, the force of things demanded so that these troops march for Moscow. And the troops retreated one more, to the last crossing and gave Moscow to the enemy.
For those people who are accustomed to thinking that plans for wars and battles are drawn up by commanders in the same way as each of us, sitting in his office over a map, makes considerations about how and how he would manage such and such a battle, questions arise as to why Kutuzov didn’t do this and that when retreating, why he didn’t take up a position before Fili, why he didn’t immediately retreat to the Kaluga road, left Moscow, etc. People who are used to thinking like this forget or don’t know those inevitable conditions in which the activities of every commander in chief always take place. The activity of a commander does not have the slightest resemblance to the activity that we imagine, sitting freely in an office, analyzing some campaign on the map with a known number of troops, on both sides, and in a certain area, and starting our considerations with what some famous moment. The commander-in-chief is never in those conditions of the beginning of some event in which we always consider the event. The commander-in-chief is always in the middle of a moving series of events, and so that never, at any moment, is he able to think through the full significance of the event taking place. An event is imperceptibly, moment by moment, cut into its meaning, and at every moment of this sequential, continuous cutting of the event, the commander-in-chief is in the center of a complex game, intrigue, worries, dependence, power, projects, advice, threats, deceptions, is constantly in the need to respond to the countless number of questions proposed to him, always contradicting one another.
Military scientists tell us very seriously that Kutuzov, much earlier than Filey, should have moved troops to the Kaluga road, that someone even proposed such a project. But the commander-in-chief, especially in difficult times, faces not one project, but always dozens at the same time. And each of these projects, based on strategy and tactics, contradicts one another. The commander-in-chief's job, it would seem, is only to choose one of these projects. But he cannot do this either. Events and time do not wait. He is offered, let’s say, on the 28th to go to the Kaluga road, but at this time Miloradovich’s adjutant jumps up and asks whether to start business with the French now or retreat. He needs to give orders now, this very minute. And the order to retreat takes us off the turn onto the Kaluga road. And following the adjutant, the quartermaster asks where to take the provisions, and the head of the hospitals asks where to take the wounded; and a courier from St. Petersburg brings a letter from the sovereign, which does not allow the possibility of leaving Moscow, and the rival of the commander-in-chief, the one who undermines him (there are always such, and not one, but several), proposes a new project, diametrically opposed to the plan for access to the Kaluga road; and the forces of the commander-in-chief himself require sleep and reinforcement; and the venerable general, bypassed by a reward, comes to complain, and the inhabitants beg for protection; the officer sent to inspect the area arrives and reports the exact opposite of what the officer sent before him said; and the spy, the prisoner and the general doing reconnaissance - all describe the position of the enemy army differently. People who are accustomed to not understanding or forgetting these necessary conditions activities of any commander-in-chief, present to us, for example, the position of the troops in Fili and at the same time assume that the commander-in-chief could completely freely resolve the issue of abandoning or defending Moscow on September 1, whereas with the position of the Russian army five miles from Moscow this issue could not have arisen . When was this issue resolved? And near Drissa, and near Smolensk, and most noticeably on the 24th near Shevardin, and on the 26th near Borodin, and on every day, hour, and minute of the retreat from Borodino to Fili.

Russian troops, having retreated from Borodino, stood at Fili. Ermolov, who had gone to inspect the position, drove up to the field marshal.
“There is no way to fight in this position,” he said. Kutuzov looked at him in surprise and forced him to repeat the words he had said. When he spoke, Kutuzov extended his hand to him.
“Give me your hand,” he said, and, turning it so as to feel his pulse, he said: “You’re not well, my dear.” Think about what you are saying.
Kutuzov on Poklonnaya Hill, six miles from the Dorogomilovskaya outpost, got out of the carriage and sat down on a bench on the edge of the road. A huge crowd of generals gathered around him. Count Rastopchin, having arrived from Moscow, joined them. This whole brilliant society, divided into several circles, talked among themselves about the advantages and disadvantages of the position, about the position of the troops, about the proposed plans, about the state of Moscow, and about military issues in general. Everyone felt that although they were not called upon, although it was not called that, it was a council of war. The conversations were all kept in the area of ​​general issues. If anyone reported or learned personal news, it was said in a whisper, and they immediately went back to general questions: no jokes, no laughter, no smiles were even noticeable between all these people. Everyone, obviously with effort, tried to stay at the height of the situation. And all the groups, talking among themselves, tried to stay close to the commander-in-chief (whose shop was the center in these circles) and spoke so that he could hear them. The commander-in-chief listened and sometimes asked questions about what was being said around him, but he himself did not enter into the conversation and did not express any opinion. For the most part, after listening to the conversation of some circle, he turned away with a look of disappointment - as if they were not talking about what he wanted to know. Some spoke about the chosen position, criticizing not so much the position itself as the mental abilities of those who chose it; others argued that a mistake had been made earlier, that the battle should have been fought on the third day; still others talked about the Battle of Salamanca, which the Frenchman Crosard, who had just arrived in a Spanish uniform, told about. (This Frenchman, together with one of the German princes who served in the Russian army, dealt with the siege of Saragossa, foreseeing the opportunity to also defend Moscow.) In the fourth circle, Count Rastopchin said that he and the Moscow squad were ready to die under the walls of the capital, but that everything yet he cannot help but regret the uncertainty in which he was left, and that if he had known this before, things would have been different... The fifth, showing the depth of their strategic considerations, talked about the direction that the troops would have to take. The sixth spoke complete nonsense. Kutuzov's face became more and more concerned and sadder. From all the conversations of these Kutuzov saw one thing: there was no physical possibility of defending Moscow in the full meaning of these words, that is, it was not possible to such an extent that if some crazy commander-in-chief had given the order to give battle, then confusion would have occurred and the battles would have all it wouldn't have happened; it would not have been because all the top leaders not only recognized this position as impossible, but in their conversations they discussed only what would happen after the undoubted abandonment of this position. How could commanders lead their troops on a battlefield they considered impossible? The lower commanders, even the soldiers (who also reason), also recognized the position as impossible and therefore could not go to fight with the certainty of defeat. If Bennigsen insisted on defending this position and others were still discussing it, then this question no longer mattered in itself, but mattered only as a pretext for dispute and intrigue. Kutuzov understood this.
Bennigsen, having chosen a position, ardently exposing his Russian patriotism (which Kutuzov could not listen to without wincing), insisted on the defense of Moscow. Kutuzov saw Bennigsen’s goal as clear as day: if the defense failed, to blame Kutuzov, who brought the troops to the Sparrow Hills without a battle, and if successful, to attribute it to himself; in case of refusal, to clear oneself of the crime of leaving Moscow. But this question of intrigue did not occupy the old man’s mind now. One terrible question occupied him. And he did not hear an answer to this question from anyone. The question for him now was only this: “Did I really allow Napoleon to reach Moscow, and when did I do it? When was this decided? Was it really yesterday, when I sent the order to Platov to retreat, or the evening of the third day, when I dozed off and ordered Bennigsen to give orders? Or even before?.. but when, when was this terrible matter decided? Moscow must be abandoned. The troops must retreat, and this order must be given.” To give this terrible order seemed to him the same thing as giving up command of the army. And not only did he love power, got used to it (the honor given to Prince Prozorovsky, under whom he was in Turkey, teased him), he was convinced that the salvation of Russia was destined for him and that only because, against the will of the sovereign and by by the will of the people, he was elected commander-in-chief. He was convinced that he alone, even in these difficult conditions, could remain at the head of the army, that he alone in the whole world was able to know the invincible Napoleon as his enemy without horror; and he was horrified at the thought of the order he was about to give. But something had to be decided, it was necessary to stop these conversations around him, which were beginning to take on too free a character.
