Makes sense, thinking of it. They're out in the middle of nowhere for extended periods of time. Sleeping in tents wouldn't quite be good for keeping people alert with such technical things, they're irregularly relocating, and they're hauling big missile transporters already, so taking something on a similar platform is a non-issue.
A very pragmatic concept by the USSR, I must admit. My initial expectation was they'd just crudely used mere tents.
Those are scraps in some open-air museum in Ukraine.
It absolutely makes sense for a remote ICBM team where the ability to move your ENTIRE camp immediately whenever you fear your location has been compromised would be very valuable.
Tents and camps take time to take down and set up.
If you've got literally everything already loaded on a truck you can split without even waking up the next shifts on rest before you do it.
Yeah, and relocation, too, can take quite a while, crossing some significant distance over potentially less-than-easy terrain. Might as well have your guys fairly comfortable, instead of stuffed for hours on end, maybe even a day or two, on the bed of a truck or in some APC.

The Soviets had some other types of support vehicles for road-mobile ballistic missile units. There was a BTR-60 variant called the 15Ya56 which doubled as an escort vehicle and advance party scout. It shared the same turret with the 15V148 "Fighting Vehicle for Support Duty" shown in
https://i.imgur.com/2RZBzG5.jpg
it even has a rear AA turret
which had a 12.7mm machine gun, a high-power searchlight (for picket duty when the unit was encamped), and a public address system with a loudspeaker (useful for warning the semi-dispersed unit of incoming air raids, or as these units operated within Soviet territory, dealing with civilians obliviously approaching the camp). The 15Ya56 also had a rudimentary internal navigation system (including a gyroscopic compass and doppler speed sensor) which would have been very useful in remote areas that lacked distinctive landmarks such as a dense forest.
All-in-all, a unique and pretty cool vehicle that seems well-suited for a single highly specialist task. Had the US adopted the road-mobile MGM-134 Midgetman ICBM (picrel) we'd likely have development a whole range of specialized vehicles to support it too. Remember what they (i.e. arms limitation treaty negotiators) took from you.
I was going to say they could potentially make sense in extreme conditions, but that seems like a practical use for them, and I imagine they were sent to some very remote and desolate locations in the USSR.
Now I want to go on a road trip through the most remote, inhospitable parts of the world with my bros in our mobile barracks
>It probably takes less logistics to set a couple of these up than to set up camp
Until you figure in the fuel and maintenace on those things and compare it to a bunch of tents.

give me a tent any day of the week
Try staying in a tent when you're deployed in the Siberian wilderness
one week tent tour in California it's not the same as few months shift in Siberia. If you gonna live few months in wilderness even in sunny states you will still chose RV home than tent. It's easy to be keyboard hero kek

Nah, a conex trailer is a stand alone structure and one that uses internationally available parts. It's technically not military grade because you can buy them commercially. The benefit is that conex is such a common standard that you can put the trailers on trains, planes, and freighters and swap out the semi-trailer when things break down.
You could rape so many conscripts in that thing

jesus christ you people are pathetic
Never heard of them and I've never given the topic of forward housing much thought. Are they how it's usually done?
Tents and fortifications usually. Sometimes public buildings
They are for mobile IBCM crews and their protection squad. When they camp in the wilderness.

Nice digits.
It also has the advantage of offering NBC protection, being weather-proof, and having a built-in electrical supply.
Neat.

Not a bad idea if you can guarantee that it is camouflaged well. It probably takes less logistics to set a couple of these up than to set up camp

Only utility is a NBC protection otherwise you just use tents or random buildings

I sleep in my car too.
Neat, but Russia needs to look at getting the fundamentals right before they start trying to make funny specialist vehicles.

Holy shit, where else did they put this atrocious chassis?
cozy
kitchen
mess hall
it even has a rear AA turret
I can just imagine the bouncing inside while it's moving
Nice pics anon
It looks like something a general officer who can't rough it in a tent would live in
I do not think that it's practicable for mass general use. Much higher cost, complexity, logistics and service requirements than a tent.
Looks way more confy than the shitty rents the Russians have right now in Ukraine. Also it'd probably be super comfy in super cold/rainy areas
Whats are these called? Model number or whatever. Never heard of them befwkv802ore.

You're better off refitting a Conex container and dragging it around with a Semi.
No, too comfy. Yound want something more like pic rel

Never been to a construction site with these around? It's common to stack them three or four high

So not OP's picrel, but exactly like it?

So OP's picrel but cheaper and easier to fix.
Looks like something out of C&C Generals
looks neat
I've been watching videos of people showing off their custom campers.
If it's a mostly secure location where a group has to temporarily be station it would be useful, mostly for morale and QoL.
These are the beds inside. One of my neighbours used a metal barrack from the army as a sleeping room in his garden.
Any pics of the interior?
See:
Imagine the smell
Can I get one second hand and rent it out to the homeless?
