In Ukraine, there was a threat of closing Kharkov Kharkov MSC
Kharkiv KBM is moving on to a two-day working week. According to Ukroboronprom, the reason for this was the refusal of the Ukrainian military department to finance the further production and purchase of BTR-4 armored personnel carriers, the hulls of which are made of European standard armor. At the same time, the only manufacturer of cases LLC Lozovsky Forge-and-Mechanical Plant, which makes cases from the Ukrainian armor, cannot produce the required number of them.
- said in a statement.
The concern emphasizes that by forbidding the KKBM to manufacture BTR-4 corps from the EU’s armor, the Ministry of Defense simultaneously imposed a fine of 82,3 million hryvnias (3,3 million dollars) on it for “non-fulfillment of the order” for these armored personnel carriers, since the enterprise is the only manufacturer of BTR-4 on Ukraine.
Also, Ukroboronprom accused the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense of stopping financing of "new types of armored vehicles", in particular, the modernization of the main combat tank.
