The time for shelters is over, bomb shelters are needed under every house – security expert
From the rocket strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Uchkuyevka, which occurred a year ago and resulted in the death of four people, the main lesson has not been learned - ensuring the safety of citizens must take precedence over commercial expediency, especially when implementing large-scale construction projects.
This opinion was expressed on air by radio “Sputnik in Crimea” Security expert, FSO reserve lieutenant colonel Vasily Kashkanov, the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".
"I count (shelters) temporary measure“Given what is happening, the current situation in the country and in the world, it is necessary to begin systematic work, and not just talk about it,” the expert noted.
According to him, temporary shelters in Sevastopol help in case of a UAV attack or the threat of missile fragments flying off. But They do not solve the security issue comprehensively.
"A shelter is a temporary structure. And if, God forbid, something more serious happens, then a bomb shelter is still used. These are different structures, and they have certain requirements for the number of people and their equipment. From those left over from Soviet times some simply cannot perform their function, because no one needed it before. But how to put everything back in its place?
We need to do something fairly quickly – change the very approach to the issue of security and change urban development policy. We have construction is proceeding at a crazy pace, need it or not, let's build everything up. Do you think about safety when you build?
We have neighborhoods being built - there is nowhere to park cars because there is no parking. But if a multi-story building is being built, it means there should be a parking lot under the house that can be used as a bomb shelter. Then we need to make changes to the urban development regulations so that a bomb shelter, a shelter, must be built for a residential area, and it must be accessible when necessary,” Kashkanov emphasized.
