Ukrainian state-owned company purchased 152-mm shells made in Bulgaria from Poland

84

On one of the specialized resources tracking export-import transactions, information was made public about the purchase by Ukraine of a batch of artillery shells. It said that the Ukrainian state-owned company Spetstechnoexport, which is part of the Ukroboronprom structure, purchased 152-mm shells made in Bulgaria from Poland.

The Polish company Arm-Tech Spółka Z Ograniczoną Odpowiedzialnością was the supplier of ammunition produced by the Bulgarian company VMZ for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A total of 260 high-explosive fragmentation projectiles VOF-542U were purchased, used in the 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled guns and towed howitzers D-20 for the amount of 262 thousand dollars.



It should be noted that this is not the first such purchase. So, in 2019, the State Enterprise "Spetstechnoexport" purchased three thousand similar ammunition and two thousand VOF-546 shells.

In 2019, another Ukrainian company, Promoboronexport, operated according to a similar scheme, representing the purchase of Bulgarian ammunition from a Polish company, which acquired 2444 40-mm high-explosive fragmentation rounds OG-7V made in Bulgaria for RPG-7 hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers for 403 thousands of dollars.

In Ukraine, the Rubin-2 company is trying to make shells for the 3S20 Akatsiya and D-2017. True, as it became known to the Ukrainian edition of Defense Express, for a number of reasons, the military return the received ammunition to the manufacturer.


Earlier, Ukrainian expert Volodymyr Shchetinin noted that in the manufacture of shells, Ukrainian gunsmiths use a different explosive and low quality metal. Because of this, there is a danger of spontaneous explosion at the time of the shot. In addition, the explosive during storage can increase in volume, which makes the projectile dangerous not only during firing, but also during storage.

    1000 bucks one shell. The Natsyks decided that they didn't mind money for their people. If suddenly there is not enough money, then the overseas friends of the loan for this business will not regret it.

      It's not a fact that everything is so easy to take and calculate. The contract probably includes the cost of storage, transportation (a couple of wagons probably take the shells). Perhaps also excise taxes. By the way, who is the special in artillery - 260 shells in the form of ammunition, how much will this be?

        The ammunition load of 1941, according to NKO Order N 0182 of 09.05.41/60/152, was XNUMX rounds for XNUMX mm howitzers, and I think it has not changed since then. Although most likely now other orders of the Ministry of Defense are in effect, and perhaps the BC is increased, tk. the wheelbase is now much more lifting.

            Not only among the Czechs. The Swedish army was armed with 160 BMP-1. Sweden sold them to Poland, and Poland immediately to Ukraine. And the BMPs went, no, not to the front line, but to Kharkov and Zhitomir for repairs. Now at NKMZ (Kramatorsk) they are testing a 155 mm cannon under NATO standards for self-propelled guns, shells for testing too buy from the Czechs

          Most likely we are talking about new shells. Poland has been buying from Bulgaria for a long time, because it is cheaper. Probably the Poles have in their warehouses, purchased long ago. And the number itself - 260 is scanty. They can spend more on one exercise!

              The manufacturer does not deal with long-term storage of products. He produces it when he receives the order. Sales and resale are dealt with by trade associations. They charge interest and prices are really higher from them. But if you bought something a long time ago, and you no longer need it, you can sell it at a price lower than you bought and lower than from the manufacturer.

                Those. Will you buy rotten frozen chicken because it's cheaper? When you buy, how do you know that the storage of the shells has been organized in compliance with all requirements? After all, they are bought for the war, and there they do not joke with it.

                  The statistic states that we are talking about only 260 shells. One or two trucks! Which is just a trifle. A typo is also possible.

                  Not necessary. It is even better to use up the ammunition at the end of the expiration date in exercises. Yes, and for the war in the world they buy sooo often new equipment. It happens that it is resold several times until it comes to the final use.

                    Are you trying to convince me that Bulgaria would refuse this order? Don't be ridiculous, its economy is not in such a form that the Bulgarians wander around.
                    And why did you talk about storage then, if two trucks can be safely stored at the enterprise in the finished product warehouse for months in the form of a reserve?

                    What is the point of Ukraine doing this if it has real hostilities in the Donbass? You generally understand that your examples for Ukraine are not rolling - there is a war going on, albeit in an inactive phase, but they constantly shell the territory of Donbass. And they need serviceable ammunition, and not those that simply do not explode after they find themselves in enemy territory. What the hell are drills if the shelling goes on for months?

                      I never said that anywhere. You are fantasizing. In fact, there is no order to Bulgaria, there is a purchase from Poland, a small amount. I mean, this is the Ukrainian-Polish deal... What is the point of speculating "what would happen if ..."?!

                      In this case, 260 shells are like a drop in the ocean to Ukrainians. Obviously a negligible amount. It is logical that for exercises it is better to use the old ones, and with the new one to hit the enemy. Indeed, new ones on the theory will give less defects.

            Vladimir, weapons manufacturers rarely sell their products directly. They produce it to order, and licensed trading companies deal with the trade. I asked what we have, but these friendships are full of people with non-Bulgarian names and surnames! Russians are the most common! Bulgaria is not involved in the illegal arms trade. In cases where these weapons represent a relatively simple system, like projectiles, the buyer bears full responsibility for their further fate. This is because the conditions for the prohibition of resale are placed only on complex, more technological systems. And not always at the right time.
            And the so-called. "scandal in syria", was a custom-made journalistic provocation, for which our competitors stand from one very large country ...

              Nothing was supplied to any militants. Orders to the manufacturer came from trading partnerships, which had contracts with firms from the USA and Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, Russian names are present in the registers of these trade associations ... So where further, weapons are resold and turns out to be, not the responsibility of the manufacturer. Thus, the militants end up with Russian weapons, and weapons from all over the world.

              All monuments are protected by the law! For some there are specially adopted, separate laws! For example, about the monument to Alyosha in Plovdiv. The MK site has a complete register, with monuments, their status and condition are relevant. All monuments are maintained by the state in good condition. Incidents of assault are actually very few. At times less often than in the Russian Federation.

    "... Volodymyr Shchetinin noted that in the manufacture of shells, Ukrainian gunsmiths use another explosive and low quality metal. Because of this, there is a danger of a spontaneous explosion at the moment of a shot. In addition, the explosive during storage can increase in volume, which the projectile is dangerous not only when firing, but also during storage. "
    And then they blame the explosions of warehouses on someone's drones or someone's special forces. The degradation of scientific design thought and production technology is obvious.

        And you don't need to compose anything. All ammunition depots MUST maintain a certain moisture content.
        density and temperature. This is different for each type of explosive. In addition, the metal of the projectile and the cartridge case must be of a certain quality. Ammunition in storage must be periodically checked by SPECIALISTS and those that fail must be disposed of.
        "TNT is produced in / on and costs a penny." Ukrainian proverb on this topic: "Desheva pagana yushka fish." Molot mortars are also made in / on and are successfully utilizing their own calculations. They were removed from production and from service, but since January 1, production and delivery to the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been restored. That's all.
        In Soviet times, ammunition depots did not explode.

      TNT in shells from the First World War is not used, only hexogen, although there is probably still in the warehouses, he himself saw the shells of 1993 in 1898, the warehouses were so-so, completely with rotten boards, the sentries were pulling from there at once, though the shells were few, the seat told what can be right in the hands of that, but gunpowder was popular, whatever form was there, there are fewer types of pasta, although gunpowder was made in pasta factories

        After 1991, there was such a transcendental mess in the Armed Forces of Ukraine that the guys dragged from the military units optics from tanks, gunpowder ("seven-hole"), cartridges, once brought the regiment's banner (Soviet). Older "boys" were carrying boxes of radio components, radio stations ... I was walking home from work in the 90s, I saw boys playing war games. Two with toy weapons, one with a homemade wooden one, and the fourth, straining, dragging the barrel from an 82-mm mortar.

        I strongly doubt, can you confirm something? Hexogenous mixtures (with the same TNT) - I will still believe, but not pure.

        It is more important that TNT can be used. This is much less weird than a composite shell design.
