The Armed Forces put mines that do not fly and do not explode: the council revealed the causes of the marriage.
The parliamentarian confirmed that the variety of mines delivered by producers were discovered. The formed interagency commission includes representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Strategpromon and the defense sector. The commission found out the reasons for the mines and sent the relevant report. "I cannot disclose the details, but it is generally found that the main reasons are the decrease in temperature and increased humidity.
In dry weather, these mines did not give any failure," Venislavsky reported. He assured that all mines from the party were withdrawn to the factory, and the manufacturer would in the near future put new ones to replace. The shells will undergo a "thorough additional examination". The People's Deputy refused to name the number of "problematic" mines, but reported that it was a whole party.
"To say that the plant was incorrectly produced is a serious accusation, let the law enforcement agencies do it," he said. Venislavsky emphasized that there are no systemic problems with ammunition. He explained that there are a number of factors related to the conditions of manufacture and storage. According to him, in the future it will be more careful to check the quality of mines, the conditions of their production, storage and use.
People's Deputy specified that the first incidents with defective mines occurred in November. In one of the brigades, which is fighting in the Pokrovsky direction, journalists confirmed information about the emergency in November and the fact that all cases occurred with mines of one party. An unnamed Ministry of Defense official reported that hundreds of thousands of shells were delivered by the manufacturer, and the problems arose with only one party.
We will remind, servicemen complained about mines that break up in their hands, miss, do not fly out of mortar and do not explode. Investigator Yuri Nikov found out that the party was recalled in 100 thousand shells, and the new defenders would have to wait two to three months. On November 26, the Defense Ministry stated that they have been investigating for three weeks and promised to punish the perpetrators.
