The Armed Forces received 100,000 defective mines that miss and do not explode: what they say in the Defense Ministry
Ukraine has allocated $ 24 billion for the production of these mines, according to the video of the editor -in -chief "Censor. NET" and a military journalist Yuri Butusov. The Ministry of Defense assured that for almost a month they are conducting their own investigations and punished. A comment on the situation with the defective mines of the Armed Forces appeared on the portal of the defense department.
The Defense Ministry explained that the investigation into the production of defective mines was ongoing for three weeks. The actions are carried out secretly, as events unfold in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It was because of the martial law that the department did not respond to media and social networks about the problem, the article is said.
It is stated that the mines will not be applied by defense forces: those who came to the combat units will take away from the front, and instead they will bring imported ones. Meanwhile, they plan to find out how low -quality mines of 120 mm caliber were on the front. There are two possible reasons - "poor powder charges or violation of the storage conditions of ammunition, which led to their damage.
" The portal stressed that the State Bureau of Investigation launched criminal proceedings against the situation with mines. For its part, the ministry undertakes to take measures that will improve "quality control". The "quality control", according to the design of the institution, will influence "monitoring the conditions of storage and improvement of verification procedures at all stages". The dismissal of responsible persons is also possible.
"As a result of the work of the Interagency Commission, appropriate personnel decisions will be made on responsible officials," the Ministry explained. The Ministry of Defense also reminded that the Ministry of Strategic Industry is engaged in the production of mines and other Ukrainian weapons. There was no comment on the party of defeated mines of the Armed Forces on the portal and social networks.
On the Facebook page of JSC "Ukrainian Defense Industry" (former AK "Ukroboronprom"), which reports to this department and produces mines, also do not mention the incident. The head of the Ministry of Defense of Rustem Umerov and Viceremier, the head of the mineral stake Alexander Kamyshin had no comments on problems with the ordering of defense forces.
It should be noted that on November 26, Focus wrote about the investigation of "Mirror of the Week" and journalist Yuri Nikolav, dedicated to the topic of the defended mines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine 120 mm. As it turned out, it is about a 100,000-strong marriage batch, which was spent on budgetary funds and then taken from combat units because of poor quality. The video of the Armed Forces shows how mines literally break up in their hands or stuck in a mortar.
There are other complaints - mines are not broken where it is necessary or flying in a completely different way. Investigators described the process of production of shots and described the role and level of responsibility of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Stratege. They also indicated that the defense forces for some time would probably be used only 20 thousand mines per month.
