Around 300 units were involved in this exercise laying 8000 tons of asphalt mix on the area of more than 32000 square metres.

YouTube description:

Реконструкция Тверской в рамках проекта "Моя улица"

Укладка верхнего слоя асфальтобетонного покрытия на улице Тверская. За сутки было уложено около 8 тысяч тонн асфальтобетонной смеси на площади более 32 тысяч кв. м .
В работах задействовано порядка 300 единиц техники. Асфальт на Тверской и Пушкинской площади был уложен единым ковром, без спаек, что позволит увеличить срок его службы.

This is like an RTS where you have a massive surplus of units, so you just throw all your peons at the construction of one barracks.

FAKE!

This isn't Russia. There's no cars driving over the sidewalks and racing around the steam rollers.

It does remind of Red Alert for many reasons!

This takes weeks it seems like in the US. Even though we have the manpower and resources to get it done in a day or two. Maybe we're just inefficient or there is some type of money problem that makes it take so long.
