Confusing deal: several countries took part in the export of BTR OT-64 to Syria

Journalists uncovered an ingenious scheme for supplying Czechoslovak BTR OT-64 SKOT to militants in Syria, writes Messenger of Mordovia.

Confusing deal: several countries took part in the export of BTR OT-64 to Syria

It is reported that the 50 of the above Czechoslovak-made armored vehicles were re-exported by a Hungarian company from Serbia. Moreover, the loading of cars on the Danish vessel Hanne Danica was carried out in the Bulgarian port of Burgas. And in Bulgaria, according to the documents, the BTR arrived from Romania.

According to some data, in the Red Sea, the equipment was overloaded to other vessels and delivered in small batches to Saudi Arabia (the port of Jeddah). And only from there the armored personnel carriers were sent through Jordan to Syria.

The first photo and video footage from the province of Daraa with armored personnel carriers at the disposal of the militants appeared on the Web last August.

After the defeat of terrorists near the Jordanian border, the Czechoslovak machines were at the government troops. After that, they were sent to Russia together with other trophy equipment, where they were then shown to the general public as part of the Army-2018 forum.

Thus ended the journey of armored vehicles developed at the beginning of the 1960-ies by the Czechoslovak firm Tatra and the Polish FCS. BTR mass-produced in both countries. It is still in service with Hungary, India, Slovakia, Poland, the Czech Republic and other countries.

    Here in more detail, when did Saudi Arabia and Jordan manage to be noted in the Warsaw Pact? But it is they who bear specific responsibility for the supply of this equipment to Nusra

        Those are the ones who are absolutely sinless ... just business. But the Saudis and Jordanians ... these were smeared. By supplying weapons to an al-Qaeda affiliate, read international terrorists.

  Stop .... And what about the Czechs? They only developed and produced this armored personnel carrier, an analogue of the Soviet armored personnel carrier-60. And then they sold them to Yugoslavia. That's all their sins, in this particular case ...

    Well, in general, when selling any military equipment, even such old one, there must be an end-user passport.

        Great. Here you are together and sorted out the question of what the Czechs have to do with it.
        If the addressee does not match the one stated in the license (it seems that it is not a passport, it is called a license, correct me if I am mistaken), was there a pre-trial complaint from the seller or a claim about violation of the rules for the sale of armored vehicles instead of the declared buyer to the re-exporter? No? So the seller is in the subject, and it is beneficial for him to pretend that he has nothing to do with it.

      It was not sold by the Warsaw Treaty, for it no longer existed. Sold what was created in the Warsaw Pact.

Well, why be surprised with the Czechs ?! They were the entire 2nd World War forge weapons for the Reich. Oh, sorry, they raised the "great" uprising in Prague on May 8, 1945. Probably a little in a hurry, it was necessary to wait until May 9, then they would have definitely "won" and there would have been no victims.

  To have such brothers - no need for enemies. Why, Warsaw, look at the local bays of the former Soviet republics. Laughter and more. It seems like the CSTO, again why laugh with the CSTO. Everyone (the Bai) hopes that if something happens, save Russia, we are the Collective Security Treaty Organization. But I hardly imagine (no offense to anyone) the same ... well, in general, a soldier of the CSTO members in the trenches in the Smolensk region. In this case, everyone will say that they are independent. Only Belarusians hope they will not betray.

This is how many puppets in different countries you need to pull the strings to implement the supply chain.
50 armored personnel carriers - this is not to smuggle Chinese mobile phones.
How interesting was the final price of 1 pc. taking into account logistics and who paid for all this?

  On the issue of Chinese weapons. By the way, the Chinese are also interested in Syria (there are enough fleas from the Xinjian-Uygur Autonomous Region, but the Chinese do not need fleas at home). There was information: fleas bought through Sudan a batch of Chinese MANPADS, well, they shot at planes and helicopters of SAA. True, the shots ended with an explosion on the shoulder and a detachment of the flea’s head.

A Hungarian company will re-export armored personnel carriers from Serbia via Romania and Bulgaria and then on a Danish ship to Saudi Arabia.

  What else to do with them? They are older than BTR-82A .... at best, the same age as BTR-80, if not 70.

    More ancient ....
    The serial production of OT-64 (Obrneny Transporter, Polish designation - SKOT) was launched in 1964. The most successful modification was the OT-64S (2) / SKOT-2AP variant. He was armed with KPVT 14,5 mm and PKT 7,62 mm machine guns. Anti-tank complexes "Malyutka" were installed on Polish armored personnel carriers. The weight of the vehicle was 14,5 tons. The armored personnel carrier's capacity was up to 17 people, two of whom were a driver and commander, and the rest were a landing party. Diesel engine "Tatra" 928 18-V-8 180 hp. from. with 8-wheel chassis (highway speed up to 95 km / h). The armored personnel carrier can swim at speeds up to 9 km / h. In store down the highway - 700 km.
    
    According to experts, SKOT / OT-64 is approximately at the level of the BTR-80, which is in service with the Syrian forces. Moreover, they significantly lose the armed 30-mm gun BTR-82A, which are also available in Syria.
