APU received a batch of BMP-1 from Europe, despite the restrictions

The state-owned company Ukrspetsexport, which is part of the structure of the Ukroboronprom concern, organized the delivery from abroad for the APU of 37 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles. The import of armored vehicles from the European Union to Ukraine occurred despite a set of restrictive measures introduced in the countries of origin and transit.

This was reported yesterday in the press service of Ukroboronprom.

The equipment was delivered to the country a week ahead of schedule. Since April 2, it has been undergoing a technical inspection.

Commenting on the supply of infantry fighting vehicles, the head of the Ukroboronprom concern, Aivaras Abromavichus, said that the APU units delivered to Ukraine would receive without delay:

The supplier and the Ministry of Defense maximally contributed to the implementation of this contract, which is important for the defense capability of the state.

It is known that Soviet-made BMP-1s purchased by Kiev were not previously used. They were in the warehouses of the former Warsaw Treaty member countries (the largest number in Poland) in conserved form. Before being sent to Ukraine, they underwent a complete overhaul, during which, if necessary, replacement of components and assemblies took place.

One of the advantages of this armored vehicle in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is considered to be the presence of a 73 mm caliber Grom gun in its arsenal, which is not subject to the restrictions established by the Minsk agreements. Does this mean that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are going to use this military equipment in the Donbass?

".... The BMP-1 in the former ATS countries had almost 5400 (in Poland and Czechoslovakia they were produced under a Soviet license), of which about 1800 are now in the Armed Forces. About 1500 were sold, and 375 were acquired by Sweden from Germany. returned to ... the Czech Republic. As a result, the number of cars of this type with an unclear fate exceeds 2500. Of course, there are also unaccounted scrappages, shootings at landfills, sales to museums and private owners, but certainly not less than a thousand cars for any of these scenarios missed .... "

I read that Kuwaiti BMP-2s were sent to the Czech Republic according to one version for modernization work, and according to another, the Czech Republic would be only a transit point on the way to Ukraine.

Kuwaiti BMP-2

I will not be surprised, although these BMPs are valued more, respectively, and will be more expensive
In general, with BMP-2 the picture is clearer

Now they are in service only in the armies of the Czech Republic (173) and Slovakia (95). 87 German, Polish and Czech vehicles sold, two are in museums, the fate of only 8 BMP-2 armies of the former GDR is unclear

Given the large shortage of BMPs in VSU, the fit is of course necessary. Its then BMP on dill was not made. Due to the lack of BMPs, several mechanized brigades move in armored personnel carriers, messes, and shushpantsers. buses and so on. Yes, they even desperately need Beushi Behs. Interestingly - is it still Czech under the old contract or have the Polish behi already gone?

But you have to pay for everything, no one will give it back for free.

Naturally. But the Eastern Europeans have long been ordered to transfer to NATO equipment, they would still have to get rid of the old Soviet one. And selling is more profitable than recycling. I do not think that they dearly requested.

I think Ms. Zakharova will give a worthy answer on this subject., There is no one else.

The answer will be given by "Voentorg"

[4ekist]

Well, if it really will be so.

NATO countries will supply Ukraine any amount of weapons in countless numbers, despite the apparent violation of the restrictions. But they will not improve the situation of Ukrainian citizens under any circumstances. Democracy for Ukrainians has its own specifics !!

Of course, if their living standards are raised, they will soften like the Europeans themselves and will cease to be "European warriors". And so, poor and evil, you can set on us, and even give "clubs".

Well, you can carry scrap metal, that’s impossible.

Doubting - in the studio!

[rotmistr60]

With a trace of the world, and the restrictions do not give a damn when it comes to countering everything Russian. Where is old Merkel and handsome Macron with her guarantees for the Minsk process? Fight Ukraine to the last Ukrainian and do more harm to those whom Russia supports.

[Sergey Averchenkov]

And who will be driving this technique? Maybe "it's brothers" is enough. Maybe you just need to beat? Just in the face?

It is worth passing 100 grenade launchers to the increased needs of the militia.

Only bring infantry to the war zone and hurry in advance.

But why?

There are several answers to this question:
1 Utilization of such equipment costs decent money
2 In place of Soviet technology, you need to purchase a new one. But what kind of equipment will be acquired, there is already strict control.
3 Keeping the fire in conflict
4 That the guys would not transfer funds to such samples, the equipment is still needed

[gurzuf]

I hope there will be a side, let's call it "X", which will supply "humanitarian" military aid to the Armed Forces of the LDNR.

Another thing is interesting: about 15 years ago, Ukraine was a leader in the world in the supply of Soviet armored vehicles to third world countries. Now she is rowing everything and thanks for being allowed to buy from European garbage dumps. Where is the lauded industry? ...

[Incvizitor]

It now looks like a museum exhibit; they are glad to shed garbage to the slaves.

[Ros 56]

Everything is clear with the Poles, but the Czechs surprised me, at first the monument to Konev, now the BMP-1, is slowly turning into people of low social responsibility. This raises the question of whether it was necessary to lay the heads of our soldiers for the release of these ungrateful pigs. I think if something like this happens again, ours will not play friendship and brotherhood with them.

[Protos]

And we continue to ride these creatures with tourists!

You do not know, but I personally do not.

37 BMP - it's just a battalion kit. This will not be enough to equip several brigades.
