Sakhalin Airlifts Snow-Clearing Machines to Kamchatka Following Heavy Cyclones

The deployment was ordered by the Far East presidential envoy.

Overview

  • About 10 high‑mobility snow-removal units are being sent with operators to restore capacity in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
  • The equipment is being loaded onto a Ministry of Emergency Situations aircraft for transport to Kamchatka.
  • Sakhalin is supplying rotary snowblowers, graders and loaders prioritized for deep, compacted snowfall.
  • Officials say the machines come from regional road-sector reserves, so service levels in Sakhalin will remain intact.
  • Kamchatka requested federal assistance after repeated cyclones since mid-November led to a municipal state of emergency in the regional capital.
