In brief
The half of the Logistics Forces that owns weapons and vehicles — the central directorates for armour, automotive and missile-artillery equipment, and the repair estate behind them. The ministry publishes the Armament/Rear split and the branch's tasks; the directorate list beneath it is published compilation, which is why every child edge is graded reported.

- Broad area of activity
- Nationwide: the arsenals, storage and repair bases and the central directorates that issue, recover and repair the force's armour, vehicles, guns and ammunition. No location below the branch is authored.
- Notable history
- The Armament service is the older of the two halves the 2018 Logistics Command merged: the Soviet-pattern armament service that held weapons, vehicles and ammunition separately from the rear services that held fuel, food and clothing. The merger was ordered by presidential decree on 29 May 2018 and the combined command became a branch of the Armed Forces on 1 January 2022, seven weeks before the invasion. Since then the service has had to run two incompatible inventories at once — a Soviet-era fleet whose spares come from cannibalisation and domestic repair, and a donated Western fleet of many patterns whose spares come from abroad — while its repair estate has been a standing strike target.
- Strengths
- A single ownership line for armour, vehicles and ammunition, which lets pattern management, repair policy and recovery be decided in one place; unusual practical experience in absorbing donated equipment of many incompatible patterns and keeping it in service; and a named repair estate the branch has dispersed under fire rather than lost.
- Limitations
- Its ceiling is set elsewhere: ammunition throughput by donors and domestic industry, spares by foreign supply chains, and repair capacity by an estate that is targeted precisely because it matters. The public record stops at the directorate names; the service publishes nothing about holdings, throughput or depot locations, and this atlas authors none of it.
