The SBU exposed the entrepreneurs who put in the Armed Forces defended artillery mines (photos)

Private companies, on the eve of a large -scale invasion of Russian invaders, were only part of the mines ordered by the Ministry of Defense, which were defective in connection with the use of low -quality gunpowder. The Security Service of Ukraine exposed a corruption scheme for the supply to the Ukrainian army of defective artillery mines under a contract for almost UAH 270 million. This was reported in the press service of the department on Telegram.

Military counterintelligence found that the violators provoked the disruption of the state order for the production of a large batch of ammunition for the Armed Forces. It happened on the eve of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation. The contract provided for the implementation of the appropriate supply. Investigators found that the executives of three private companies were involved in the equipment.

They received orders from the Defense Ministry for the production of this type of ammunition. The means of damage, the entrepreneur, as stated in the contract, had to be shipped by February 2022. Until this term, the company was put to the Ministry of Defense only part of the ordered mines, which were defective in connection with the use of poor quality gunpowder. The technical disadvantage makes it impossible to use ammunition in combat.

This leads to the disruption of the artillery weapons itself. Experts exposed this fact during the appropriate test of the artillery mines received. Subsequently, a party of defeat was returned to manufacturers to correct identified shortcomings. Entrepreneurs have not yet been able to eliminate technical malfunctions of military products. As a result, no unit of ammunition was supplied to the Ukrainian defenders in accordance with government procurement.
