The Ukrainian Air Force faced a shortage of aviation fuel, an agreement was signed with Azerbaijan on the supply of aviation kerosene

55

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are faced with problems related to the provision of troops with fuel. At the same time, the lack of high-quality fuel is typical for various types and branches of the armed forces, including the Ukrainian Air Force or, as they are officially called, the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have recently been preoccupied with the search for a supplier of aviation fuel.

It became known that such a supplier had been found. This is, first of all, Azerbaijan. The reports of the Ukrainian media, referring to the military department, say that they are talking, among other things, of the state-owned company SOCAR.



According to Ukrainian information sources, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has signed several agreements. They provide for the supply of aviation fuel for the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces in the amount of about UAH 665 million (approximately US $ 25 million). About UAH 340 million will go to the accounts of SOCAR, about the same - to the accounts of other suppliers, including the Lithuanian Orlen Lietuva and the Belarusian company Naftan.

It is known that on the basis of the bidding, Ukraine will buy from Azerbaijan aviation kerosene at a price (on average) of UAH 25 thousand per ton. This is about 70 thousand rubles, which is about 18 thousand rubles more than a ton of kerosene at Russian airports. In this regard, it has been suggested in Ukraine itself that aviation kerosene may turn out to be Azerbaijani only on the basis of documents. In fact, aviation fuel may also be of non-Azerbaijani origin.

It should be reminded that earlier one of the main suppliers of fuel to Ukraine was Belarus, which itself refined Russian oil, resulting in considerable additional profit due to the discount that Moscow provided to Minsk. However, after a frank cooling of political relations between Minsk and Kiev, the Belarusian authorities announced that they would either reduce the volume of supplies, or completely reduce them to zero. That is why it turned out to be important for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to look for new suppliers.

      In general, the gesheft sits on the gesheft and drives the gesheft!

      Why pay for Azerbaijanian kerosene to Belarus and Lithuania? In general, in troubled water, those who catch fish need to be fished out and punished, and it is better to "treat with electric shock" - they themselves will float!

      Aviation kerosene is not tanks, BMPs, helicopters, missiles, etc. Can you catch the difference? I think no.
      And yes, you can see part of your taxes, Russian hard-earned money, your taxes and those of your loved ones today in the trophy park in Baku. But this is the minuscule part.

As for the militants, Russia immediately said this, regarding the Turks, Ilham himself said that without the support of Turkey, Azerbaijan would have big problems

    So they buy Russian kerosene in the same way as all fuel and lubricants for their army. The Russian Federation and Azerbaijanis have long established a joint venture And supply fuel and lubricants to Ukraine Almost immediately as the Ukrainians refused to buy fuel from the "enemy rashka" But they are not fools in Russia.

    Of course, over 30 years, certain transformations for the better have taken place in Azerbaijan. Turetsko - the Azerbaijani onslaught on previously lost lands is a confirmation of this. Motivation, with such support, in the form of the Arabs and Turkish special forces worked. As for aviation kerosene, I don’t think it will be purely Azerbaijani, but It is possible that the intermediary services will be tied to Azerbaijan. After all, even filling the Southern Transport Corridor with Azerbaijani gas would be a problem without help from the Russian Federation, as well as controlling drones without the help of Turkish operators, and conducting ground operations without Turkish generals.
