701st Logistics Center
Identity
Open sources identify military unit 77360 with the 701st Center for Material-Technical Support of the Northern Fleet. A Murmansk Oblast Duma note dated November 1, 2017 marked the center's fifth anniversary, indicating formation in 2012. A separate Russian government order of December 16, 2004 shows state institution w/ch 77360 already controlling federal property in Vidyayevo, suggesting continuity of the unit number with an older logistics estate.

Footprint
Public records show 77360 as a dispersed Northern Fleet logistics network rather than a single compact garrison. Official and regional sources place subunits 77360-Н in Severomorsk, 77360-Б in Vidyayevo, 77360-В in Gadzhiyevo, 77360-Д in Polarny, 77360-Ф in Murmansk, and 77360-Ц in Chan-Ruchey; Rosaviatsiya's 2025 restricted-airspace contact list separately names w/ch 77360-Н in Severomorsk. Kotlas court and labor-safety records also show an inland fuel-storage element under 77360, although the open-source suffix appears inconsistently as 77360-29 and 77360-Ц.

Mission
Court materials describe 701 Center elements as arsenals and base-support structures responsible for receiving, storing, servicing, issuing and guarding missiles, marine underwater weapons, artillery ammunition, rocket-artillery armament and other materiel for fleet forces. Appellate materials on 2nd branch 77360-Н describe a Murmansk-based branch for storage, servicing and issue of mine-torpedo weapons, torpedoes, naval mines and anti-submarine weapons, while another case describes a Murmansk branch subordinate to a 1st-rank Severomorsk arsenal for complex storage of missiles, marine underwater weapons and artillery ammunition.

Infrastructure
Litigation and procurement indicate hardened storage and layered site security. A 2021 appellate ruling records that a 2015 commission at 77360-Н found nonconforming warning and electrified perimeter fencing, signal barrier panels, and spiral security barriers; separate arbitration records from 2015-2016 reference capital repair of paired arched storage building No. 32 on technical territory No. 1 at 77360-Н, and a 2016 procurement covered integrated alarm and personal alert systems for 77360-Н in Severomorsk. Another Northern Fleet procurement in 2016-2017 funded remediation design work for the 77360-Щ site at Chan-Ruchey. ([base.garant.ru](https://base.garant.ru/64516352/?utm_source=openai))
Sustainment risks
Murmansk regional environmental reporting for 2013-2014 shows repeated inspections at multiple 77360 elements and records waste dumps, land and water contamination by petroleum products, and fuel-storage violations; the same reporting specifically names 77360-Д in Polarny, 77360-Ф in Murmansk, and 77360-Ц in Chan-Ruchey. A 2025 regional wildfire-response annex also lists 77360-Ф as a complex-storage warehouse for material and technical means on Mohnatkina Pakhta, indicating continued fuel and material-storage relevance.

Publicly unconfirmed
Some public-hearing notices and contractor portfolios describe construction on 77360-Н and 77360-Ф territory using project titles tied to ocean-monitoring or undersea telecommunications systems in Severomorsk and Murmansk. These references support only that related construction was publicly advertised; open sources do not publicly confirm the exact military program, equipment set, or end-user mission.
