In a year it has almost tripled: the Russians have built a new military base near Rostov Anzhelika Baybak The Russians built new military base near Rostov/Collage 24 Channel The Russian invaders built a new military base in the city of Novocherkassk, not far from Rostov-on-Don. The enemy is likely using the facility to supply Russian combat troops. Journalists online have also published satellite images of the new Russian base online. They show that over the year it has increased almost 3 times. Journalists from Schemes write that the new military base of the invaders is located between a correctional colony and two unfinished general educational institutions on the site of an abandoned military facility in Novocherkassk. So, previously there was a cook school No. 195 of the Russian Civil Defense Forces, but it was closed in 2011. The site was abandoned until August 2023, and since then the situation began to change dramatically. Thus, military equipment and dozens of tents began to appear on the territory. All this happened at the end of August. Abandoned base in August 2023/Photo “Schemes”

Military expert Mikhail Zhirokhov analyzed satellite images and came to the conclusion that now it is material and technical support base for the Russian armed forces. Only cargo and auxiliary equipment can be seen at the facility, which means that the base near Rostov provides combat units of the Russian army.
We see a large number of trucks in the colors of military equipment. The satellite does not detect any tanks or armored personnel carriers, so it is highly likely that this is one of the military units of logistics support,” the expert said.

Journalists from “Schemes” suggest that the base in Novocherkassk may belong to the 100th military logistics regiment armed forces of the aggressor country.
What is known about the 100th regiment of the Russian army
As the media write, Russia created the 100th military logistics regiment in 2014, when the Ministry of Defense was headed by Sergei Shoigu. The main task of this regiment is to deliver military supplies to the combat zone. The regiment was also involved in the elimination of man-made disasters, fires and floods, which is why in Russia it is also called the “army special unit of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.” It is worth noting that the occupiers have only one regiment of this type.
It is known that the former commander of the 100th regiment, Sergei Safonov, fought against Ukraine. Thus, in November 2022, it became known that the occupier was involved in the murder of civilians during the retreat of the Russian army from Izyum in the Kharkov region.
Previously, the 100th regiment was based in Moscow region, but now they have been transferred near Rostov to Novocherkassk. This is in particular evidenced by a change in the geolocation of the military personnel of this regiment, and some occupiers, in a conversation with journalists, themselves confirmed that they are now serving near Rostov.
Novocherkassk became a place back in 2014 rear basing of the Russian army, because from here the fighters in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions received all the necessary support.
