Iraqi MP accuses Kiev of supplying substandard BTR and requires proceedings

The representative of the Commission on Security and Defense of the Iraqi Parliament, Shivan Mohammed Taha, accused Ukraine of supplying poor-quality BTR-4 to the Iraqi army and disrupting the delivery dates for the contract from 2009 of the year.

"Investigation into Ukraine’s deliveries to Iraq weapons revealed corruption in part of the third contract concerning the sale of 420 armored personnel carriers, of which only about one hundred vehicles have been delivered at present, despite the fact that several years have passed since the contract was ratified, "Takha told the Arabian website RIA News.

At the same time, the deputy claims, the investigation revealed that all the "very old, corps of rusty vehicles supplied by the BTR" are unsuitable for use. "

Taha said that the Iraqi parliament demanded that the government create a special joint committee to investigate the execution of the contract, as well as sue the perpetrators of the situation.

In the near future, the Minister of Defense of the country, Saadun al-Dulei, will be summoned to parliament for clarification.

RIA Novosti does not yet have a comment on the Ukrainian side.

In early February, 2013, the anti-corruption commission of the Iraqi parliament issued an internal report on the violations allegedly uncovered when checking the implementation of the contract concluded between Ukraine and Iraq on the supply of arms.

According to the commission, in the third part of the Ukrainian-Iraqi arms contract for the supply of 420 armored personnel carriers BTR-4, the cost of which is 456 million dollars, serious violations were found.

"This is a delay in deliveries, a violation of the law in terms of the imposition of fines for delay in deliveries," said the head of the commission, Baha al-Araji.

Ukraine is one of the world leaders in arms sales. The largest in the Ukrainian stories A contract for the sale of military equipment and weapons to Iraq in the amount of 2,4 billion dollars was concluded in 2009 year. The contract provided for the supply of armored personnel carriers, aircraft, high-precision weapons, as well as the provision of services for the repair and modernization of military equipment. Due to delays in deliveries, the contract has already been on the verge of breaking several times.

                On February 7 in Kiev, representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Iraq and Ukrspetsexport Group of Companies signed an act of acceptance of a batch of Ukrainian-made BTR-4 in the number of 40 units.

                “The tests were carried out successfully. No major problems have been identified. We are pleased with the process of cooperation with the Ukrainian side. Previously transferred Ukrainian-made BTR-4 in heavy field conditions are being exploited in Iraq. This is a new, advanced vehicle for the Iraqi army, ”the official representative of the Iraqi delegation stressed.

                In the Ukroboronprom Group of Companies they noted that they are satisfied with the achieved result. “Despite the significantly more stringent requirements for accepting the Iraqi side (each car was checked according to a special program), all the cars were transferred without significant remarks. We will execute the contract in accordance with the agreements reached. Now the main task is to create an effective service department for servicing the equipment transferred to the Iraqi side, ”the Ukroboronprom Group of Companies noted.

                Information:
                At the end of 2009, Ukraine and Iraq signed a contract for the supply of 420 vehicles BTR-4 for a total amount of 457,5 million dollars. The main contractor is the Morozov Kharkiv Design Bureau (KMDB), co-contractors are the State Enterprise “Malyshev Plant” (Kharkiv), and other Concern enterprises.

                  Yes, we read newspapers, watch the news! laughing
                  But with the current state of affairs in the Ukrainian defense industry, failures with the quality of armored personnel carriers or other products are more likely to be the norm than an annoying misunderstanding.
                  I’ll say right away, so as not to cause the righteous anger of the “broad” Ukrainians, that in Russia the same problems are taking place.
                  One of the main reasons, roughly speaking, is that dividends from contracts receive many approximatebut not engineers and defense workers. They are simply "thrown a bone". As well as the enterprises famous in the already distant Soviet past. And the "group of comrades" is making money.

          I am not confusing anything.
          After the participation of the Ukrainian military contingent in the coalition forces in Iraq in 2003, the United States, having allocated $ 2,4 billion to Iraq for the purchase of new military equipment and weapons, from the potential exporting countries - Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Ukraine - chose namely Ukraine.
          It is no secret that the contracts of September 2009 for the purchase in Ukraine of 420 BTR-4 (worth $ 457,5 million) and six An-32B military transport aircraft (worth $ 95 million) were actually imposed on the Iraqi government by the United States and represented a kind of "payoff" to Ukraine on the part of the Americans as compensation for Kiev's support for the US campaign in Iraq. Back in September 2007, the Pentagon published a notice about the upcoming sale to Iraq of 336 Ukrainian armored personnel carriers BTR-3E1 through the mechanism of American intergovernmental deliveries through the FMS line. However, in the end, Iraq was forced to conclude a contract for the purchase of newer BTR-4s in Ukraine, becoming their launch customer. According to the terms of the contract, all 420 BTR-4 vehicles were to be delivered by March 2012.
          There were articles on the Mirror of the Week about all the rehearsals of this contract, everything is described in detail there, but unfortunately no longer.

          "The tests were successful. No serious problems have been identified. We are pleased with the process of cooperation with the Ukrainian side. In Iraq, the previously transferred Ukrainian-made BTR-4s are being operated in the most difficult field conditions. This is a new, advanced vehicle for the Iraqi army," - reported in the company. It was previously reported that Iraqi experts discovered flaws in the Ukrainian armored personnel carriers. Meanwhile Last year, Iraq applied financial sanctions to Ukraine for disrupting the bilaterally established delivery of Ukrainian weapons. Then, in the commentary on the details of the corresponding account for $ 18 million, which the Trade Bank of Iraq was supposed to transfer to the account in Ukreximbank, the Iraqi side noted that of the total amount of $ 21 million that was supposed to go to Ukraine, $ 3 million were withdrawn as penalties.

    Well yes! The 2009 contract of the year, the chronology of world and domestic events in Ukraine is known, the same year. Simply, Ukraine had to be tied to a pro western position. I would not be surprised if everything was calculated in advance, including the impossibility of fulfilling the contract within these terms and the possibility of breaking the contract - but Ukraine supported all the initiatives of the West, participated in peacekeeping and distanced itself from Russia.

      As far as is known, the BTR-4E case and design are different from previous models. And the new iron is very rusty if you do not prime the minium, and before that carefully remove the scale. They drove, they did not get enough people. Therefore, the nails come out. The engines are normal there, the chassis too. And the Iraqis, they just started to learn the division label.

      Allegorically. Ukraine is now in a state of free floating (chattering), it has not yet been washed ashore on any coast. From each bank they wave: "Come to us!" - here the armored personnel carriers are "soiled" and therefore rustyfrom one shore "yes, you choke on your AN-70"- from the other side."Carrot and stick"is a proven way of playing politics.

    It is appropriate to recall a slightly modified question to Professor Preobrazhensky:
    -And how did they (the Iraqi military) accept rusty and faulty cars?
    To which the deputy will answer - I did not appoint them

    The question and answer pair is universal and explains everything. Even the screams of an Iraqi deputy.

Different people and in different factories is being done, or what !?

    I’m already tired of repeating that I live next to LKMZ. This is where the hulls are made for these APCs. By the way, they are brewed from scratch from the new armor. There is also a repair and restoration of old hulls. The plant is working. Everything is on time. Maybe there are delays on other nodes somewhere? I don’t know. I will not argue. Regarding rust, this is not true. My son works there. And they simply dismiss me for marriage without maintenance. People try. Nobody wants to lose a well-paid job. They shout for cutting money. I’ll say that they’re not sawing. But the plant has slowly begun a large-scale re-equipment of equipment that has not been around since the Union. So, these grandmothers do not saw everything for the contract. There is still competition on the world arms market! So they roll the barrel to Ukraine. By the way, one world arms contract is not bad babies without any scandals. And the Russians rip off both Americans and others .... So, what shouldn't be done out of an elephant’s fly. They’ll put everything. And judging by some comments, here in Ukraine there are only fools in trousers and zhupans who have eaten fat and vodka and stupidly looking at their rusty armored personnel carriers, with a thought about who to get them in ....
    By the way, representatives of the host country are frequent guests here. And they are looking at the technology. I dare you to assure quality control that goes along the whole chain.

    This is the whole difference between "brothers-Slavs". This is sad...

    As for the BTR-4, the car is excellent and of high quality. It cannot rust (if acid is not watered). The WESTERN WEST is trying in this way to influence the political choice of Ukraine. And the Russian Federation has not gone far from the WEST.
