The dugout the head of state went to can house 23 people. The soldiers are supposed to sleep on two-tier bunks. The minimal air temperature makes up 20C above zero.
“A genuine resort,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said as a joke.
The dugout is also designed to protect the personnel inside from enemy strikes. Three layers of wooden logs can withstand the impact of an artillery shell.
