Romanian workers stole $ 2 million worth of fuel from a US military base

The Pentagon confirms information about the loss of significant fuel supplies at the US military base in Romania. The situation is connected with large-scale theft of diesel fuel at the air base of the airport named after Mikhail Kogalniceanu. Moreover, the theft was not a one-off nature, but continued for at least the last four years.

Major Vonnie Wright, spokesman for the 21st Military Command:

Law enforcement agencies have confirmed the large-scale nature of the theft. Total losses from criminal activity are estimated at $ 2 million. According to preliminary data, diesel fuel was pumped out of the tanks. It was intended to power diesel generators at the A. Mikhail Kogalniceanu.

This air base is located in the southeast of Romania - near the Black Sea coast. It is actively exploited by American military personnel, mainly from the US Air Force. Several Romanian units also serve on the base. It is also known about the involvement of local civilian personnel at the military facility. The base itself is actually integrated with the territory of the international airport.

The fact is confirmed that the fuel has been drained since 2017. At the same time, Wright has not yet commented on issues related to who specifically was involved in the theft on a large scale.

However, some details are published by the Romanian press. She, referring to sources, writes that Romanian workers who had access to the territory of fuel and lubricants depots at an American military base were systematically engaged in the discharge of diesel fuel. The workers were hired by the American side to service the generators. It is noted that in order to conceal the theft, the fuel in the tanks was diluted. The American military noticed something wrong when problems with generators began to arise more and more often. As a result, an examination of the fuel used was carried out, as a result of which its extremely low quality was revealed, although before deliveries to the base, the quality of diesel fuel corresponded to the standards.

And then I think: how did diesel fuel become cheaper in Ukraine, especially in Izmail?

It would be good, it would be great if, at the US base in Romania, they continued to steal fuel from the US troops on a large scale, at the bases in Japan the Japanese, at the bases in Germany - the Germans, at the bases in anywhere - where - would-be-rotten, the main thing is to continue ...

2 million! Nimble Romanians will probably soon pull up the pipe from this base to Moldova. Poor people, they are sitting there without gas. And the Pentagon cow can be milked endlessly

Joking as a joke, but stealing from these bases is not at all in comic quantities. In Turkey, the jokers made an insert into the NATO pipe and pumped it for several years (!!!). the Americans paid attention only when they began to receive less than half of the fuel.

This is the scope!

Apparently, the amers were satisfied with the situation when they received exactly half of the fuel through the pipe. But when they began to receive 49%, the capitalist soul could not resist, noticing how the "controlling stake" was slipping away from the hands

I suspect that jet fuel also found a hole and leaked to the airport. Fortunately, he is very close, behind the fence.

There are difficulties, however. Pump up, you know, it is necessary.
Then plug the "hole" with a head of cabbage. Well and redo the same

And this fighter of holes .... go figure it out.
And it's tempting - like a transport worker would pass.

Moreover, the theft was not a one-off nature, but continued for at least the last four years.

Was there no control? or were the controllers in the subject?

[Moore]

How can diesel fuel be diluted? Fuel oil? If they poured water into the tanks, they don’t mix ... And if they didn’t take samples from the tanks for four years, then they themselves were evil Buratins.

[Eug]

Kerosene with oil. But whether this mixture will be cheaper is a question.

[Galleon]

If kerosene with mining, then completely.

[BARKAS]

Maybe working off or something like that.
Or even kerosene from a nearby tank.

[Omskgasmyas]

A diesel fuel with kerosene is a winter diesel fuel. and a winter solarium is more expensive than a summer one. Rather kerosene was also started up, but it has not been counted yet.

[Falcon iba]

And these samples were taken, apparently, by the same one who poured the water. They will still get their striped pens dirty ...

[Kerensky]

If they poured water into the tanks, they don't mix ...

One clever warrant officer poured water into a condom and lowered it into a tank with alcohol. The level was the same, the quality was the same. But at the bottom of the tank there were many translucent balls ...

At the same time, Wright has not yet commented on issues related to who specifically was involved in the theft on a large scale.

At a guarded facility, without the Americans themselves, the Romanians could not steal fuel for 4 years.

A similar moment is shown very well in the famous film Green Berets, where the green beret himself stole all the junk from the base, and he dragged everything that came to hand, even the seat from the toilet rested.

No, they didn’t master it, but brazenly and without a twinge of conscience they didn’t hide it. I had to transport this "rubbish" in the early 90s "there." (Although I'm not offended).

Wait a minute! A little more than 30 years ago, we were told that under the Soviet regime, everyone is dragging, but under capitalism this is impossible because there are masters around, invisible hands. But if the difference is invisible, can we return socialism? A?

An old truth: Romania is better to have enemies than allies.

[meandr51]

Theft in the American army has always broken records. Because there is something easy to steal and cheat. In the early 22s, there was a scandal with Defense Secretary Dick Cheney and Haliburton. Overstating the price of fuel for the entire army THREE times. Several billion dollars. So what? Bush simply said at the hearing: "Yes, give them that money back, Dick!" Then the scandal in the press magically died down. Nothing is known about the refund. The mechanisms of theft are detailed in Heller's famous book Catch-XNUMX. And there is such a film.

2,2 Lama bucks, that's about 1,5-2 thousand tons of solarium, depending on the price, if you take Romania. That is, in four years at least a ton per day - obviously they were not privatized with cans. And the barrels are doubtful. So a couple of times a month a petrol tanker drove into the fuel and lubricants warehouse and took out the solarium. This took place at a military base, albeit on the territory of a civil airfield, but also not the object where anyone wants to go there and go. Consequently, either false documents were made, or everything was seized at the checkpoint. And from time to time use the fuel truck to the left so that no one knows it will not work. In any case, the workers alone would not have done anything if at least someone from the management of the airfield, at least the middle level, and possibly the American base, were not in the share.
