Iraq refuses to accept defective Ukrainian armored personnel carriers

The SE PACIFICA ship loaded with Ukrainian armored personnel carriers has been in the Persian Gulf for three months due to Iraq’s unwillingness to accept this batch of vehicles, sources at the shipowner White Whale Shipping report.

The 42 BTR-4, which arrived by ship in Umm Qasr in the spring, Baghdad considered defective, refusing to unload them ashore. The vessel is now in neutral waters (at approximately equal distance from Kuwait, Iran and Iraq), awaiting resolution of the situation. The shipowner notes that exporters - Ukrspetsexport, Ukroboronservis and Progress - do not pay for downtime. The owners of the vessel consider as an option for getting out of the situation the unloading of combat vehicles in the port of a third country, followed by a petition to the court to arrest the vehicle.

According to sources portal Dumska.net, these events contributed to the dismissal of the CEO of Ukrspetseksport Dmitry Peregudov in early July. The duties of the head of this company are now performed by Alexander Kovalenko. According to some reports, he is now in Iraq, along with officials from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, trying to resolve the conflict. Consideration is being given to sending specialists from the Malyshev plant to the Middle East to eliminate defects on the spot and to give buyers a significant discount.

These combat vehicles were delivered to Iraq as part of the largest supply contract weapons в stories independent Ukraine on $ 556,5 million (420 units BTR-4E and AN-32 aircraft), concluded in 2009 year. The Iraqi side has repeatedly accused of delaying supplies, but it was possible to resolve the previously arisen conflict situations.

Recall that in February 2013, a 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 deliveries under this contract. "An investigation into the supply of arms to Ukraine by Iraq 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," he said. According to the deputy, in the course of the investigation it was established that all the "very old, rusty bodies supplied by the APCs were installed, the vehicles were unsuitable for use."

Greetings, Maxim. It is quite possible that marriage exists, but do Ukrainian production workers (and especially politicians!) Admit it publicly? But, there is another point of view. On one of the portals there was infa under the heading "Ukraine is being squeezed out of the arms market." And it said that Iraq's claims to the quality of Ukrainian technology arose on a specific order from Washington. That is, Ukraine is being shown its place in its future integration into the EU - "eat, cotton, rubite lard and ne rypite!"
And for the trip of Ukrainian specialists in order to grease the sitouvine with lard - they went to the wrong country with lard - not a ride

Dear HOW, you can find cracks in the hulls without unloading the equipment from the hold ????
Have you ever been in the hold of a truck ???
And where does Washington and the EU ????
And especially the desire of Ukraine in the EU ???

[Coward]

Dear HOW, you can find cracks in the hulls without unloading the equipment from the hold ????

Very simple. If it is not ro-ro, then they are unloaded by crane. This means that dockermans descend into the hold for slinging. Upon detection of damage to the cargo, the operation is stopped. The tallyman is called and presented the crew, usually the first officer, and an act is drawn up that the cargo is damaged, otherwise the damage will be recorded on the dockers. Considering that this is not the first delivery, it may well have been a command "to be attentive".

although I don’t have a question for you, I'm sorry, since you yourself are not comfortable, you can immediately see that the merchant ship was only seen in the picture, I inform you that you can go down into the hold not only after opening its covers, but there are special hatches on the main deck through which down the inner ramp down into the hold. Because cargo car (BTR), then there is definitely a change of space for moving in the hold between them, which means that inspection there is possible. As a rule, the cargo is especially special, expensive (the military I think is no exception), the receiving party can carry out its acceptance and inspection before unloading, and take appropriate measures if it detects a quality mismatch or other damage!

Visually - that is, with the eyes. This may be at the joints of the armor plates, but this indicates a violation of the welding technology, of poor quality, or rather of non-conditioned armor (steel of the wrong grade was used) and the worst is a calculation error ...

In vain you are so ... The Chinese "took away" the palm long ago. And civilized Europe, along with the states, are guilty of such deeds. We must not forget that 90% of supposedly European consumer goods are made by the hands of Chinese migrant workers or by the Chinese themselves on the territory of the PRC. It would not hurt to remember the problems with the American F-35, which is still being brought up and going to eventually close the program. Or talk about the comparative characteristics of the S-300 and the Patriots. If you wish, you can get a lot from the Internet. Well, as one of the examples of the quality of Russian technology, I propose to read this information on the claims of Indians to Russian technology.
---------- Today, the MiG-21 is the most massive post-war fighter. Since 1959, more than 11 thousand original and modified copies of the aircraft have been built. It was in service with 45 countries of the world and received the nickname "People's Fighter" for its low cost of maintenance and repair. In the 1980s, India acquired a license to manufacture the MiG-21 and reduced the cost of producing one aircraft to 30 million rupees.

Air Chief Marshal P.V. Naik, a former commander of the Indian Air Force, jealously defends the aircraft from attacks: “I have flown more than 2 thousand hours in various modifications of the MiG-21, from the very first MiG-21-FL and MiG-21 PFM to the MiG-21-93 Bizon. The Marshal calls the aircraft the best in its class and considers offensive nicknames inappropriate.
The aging Air Force fleet has forced India to look for cheaper parts from suppliers such as Israel and Ukraine. Russian military officials have already warned their Indian counterparts that the cost of maintenance will not bring them to good, reports Tanedzha.
If India continues to buy parts outside of Russia, the growing number of accidents should not surprise her, said Russian Ambassador to New Delhi Alexander Kadakin.

http://www.inopressa.ru/article/09Aug2013/nytimes/india.html

The problem is as old as the world. Due to illiterate operation and other NOT, it is easier and more profitable for the guilty party to expose a supplier.
Somewhere lost the justification of our specialists regarding India's claims to our "Tornadoes" and guided missiles. I will not search, but it was. The reasons are the same - improper fulfillment of the terms of the contract or violation of the norms of operation and storage.

MiG-21 is not an example for this problem. In the same India, half of MiG-21 aircraft crashed due to the fault of the Indian Air Force pilots. The pilot is worse than a saboteur.

It is unlikely that Ukrainian engineers will not make guano, there are examples, most likely, someone from the officials decided to make their own "gesheft", but about the concept of marriage, there is an expression "Foundry production without marriage", marriage happens to everyone, even at Mitsubishi, in this case, most likely something was changed there at the loading stage !!!
And apparently not for the first time, in Ukraine there is an expression "The wrong country was called Honduras !!!"

Dear, calm down. The contract is dead, and it will be officially announced soon. Ukraine is incapable of battling with the Americans in the military-technical sphere. Especially in Iraq. Especially with such prices.

There is also a policy, but it seems to me that it has not done without marriage, no one will refuse high-quality armored personnel carriers and if they are of high quality, it is easy to establish with the help of an independent examination. I heard there a supply agreement, some kind of "muddy" and the main part of the profit has an intermediary.
However, hearing about anything that happened in Ukraine, I am not surprised at anything:

Employees of the railway of Ukraine are trying to understand why the train traveling along the Lviv-Zaporozhye route arrived in Dnepropetrovsk instead of the destination.

At about 8.45 am on August 7, the train stopped in Verkhnedneprovsk, Dnipropetrovsk Region, and all passengers were asked to leave the cars. However, after 20 minutes, the passengers were offered to return to the cars and follow to Dnepropetrovsk, although the train was to follow in Krivoy Rog and further to Zaporozhye, writes the Dnepropetrovsk edition of Vgorod.

Those who did not wish to change their route were not offered any compensation.

Meanwhile, according to eyewitnesses, “passengers were told that the dispatcher got the wrong staff there. ” In the Dnieper Railway, this information was confirmed, emphasizing that at the station Pyatikhatki the train was sent in the wrong direction.

"......
Ukrainian APCs “stuck” in the middle of the Persian Gulf can get to Indians

The owner of the vessel SE PACIFICA with 42 Ukrainian armored personnel carriers for the Iraqi army on board, which official Baghdad does not want to accept, is preparing to unload military cargo at a port in a third country.
This was stated to reporters by the Odessa representative of the shipowning company Alexander Varvarenko. According to him, armored vehicles will be arrested on the shore and, if Ukraine does not pay for downtime, they will be sold by court order.
Varvarenko added that now the shipowner is negotiating with India, which, most likely, will become the very “third country" .................

However, this is another question - will Delhi want to accept Ukrainian armored personnel carriers. ....

Here's what Dumskaya was told by a former employee of one of the research and testing organizations subordinate to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, who personally was involved in testing the very BTR-4E supplied to Iraq:

“I was an army receiver. Do not confuse with a factory receiver. I tested this piece of iron in conditions that may occur during operation. Index “E” means that the products are exported and not intended for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. For the Armed Forces of Ukraine, another version of this product is provided - BTR-4M. However, it still exists only in the drawings. Of the seven options (projects) - not one was approved.

But back to the tests. Representatives of the Kharkov plant as they recognized my "mandatory program", so immediately twisted. Calls to Kiev began, after which some test cycles were simply removed.

Yes, I forgot to say. On the BTR-4 there is generally no tactical and technical task (TTZ - regulatory and technical documents in the development and production system for military equipment that establish a set of requirements for the content, scope and timing of research or development work, - Ed.) . In other words, the country did not order such an APC. This is a personal initiative of comrades from Ukroboronprom, Ukrspetseksprot and the breeders themselves. Without TTZ and the corresponding resolution of the relevant committee (on defense) of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, this is a self-made gun.

The second one. During the 20 days of the “lightweight” tests initiated by the plant, we identified 35 deficiencies in the machine’s body, 39 shortcomings in the combat module, five shortcomings in the power plant ...

One such drawback in Soviet times would mean sending equipment for revision. And if there are two or more, then this is a blockage. Full. In short, the car is not just r ... but r ... but in a cube! I finally advised the guys from the factory to often go to the Internet or watch Al-Jazeera so as not to miss the moment when their cars would blaze en masse on the battlefields. And then he learned that all the armored personnel carriers bought by Iraq are constantly in storage, under canopies. The army categorically refuses to ride them. That’s all love. ”

Note that "Ukrspetsexport" did not confirm, but also did not refute the information of "Dumskaya" about the unwillingness of the Iraqi side to accept armored personnel carriers ....... "

Not true. There were more disadvantages, especially when combined factory and acceptance tests. Our troops can operate equipment not accepted for service (MiG-19 napimer). Now this, of course, will not happen, but even so ... To be honest, we are now in the initial stage of the formation of the defense industry, since many of the relations of enterprises have been destroyed - there is no cooperation. And complex complexes imply the need for broad cooperation. So we were in a situation worse than the USSR in the early 30s.

As a rule, countries are engaged in small extortion and bring down the price of equipment, marriage is one of the common reasons for this. But this is more likely to relate to those countries where the equipment is expensive. And another feature. Ukraine did not win the tender for the supply of equipment, but simply received thanks from the USA in the form of a supply contract, this is where the stumbling block is.

Quote: Bakht

Can you tell me a purely civilian, how is BTR 4 different from old BTRs (for example (BTR-80)?

The layout, the composite armor of the engine compartment, chassis, weapons. In general - to everyone. General - only the width.

[Bakht]

So how did the APCs get rusty? After all, these are brand new cars. Not talking about the performance characteristics, only the construction.

Most likely a banal survival from the arms market. So much for the WTO and open markets.

[Akim]

Quote: Bakht

So how did the APCs get rusty?

Ask the Iraqis better. They are now given 2000 M113 and they are buying the first batch of 50 Strikers. Probably not just because they invented a reason. If there was no rust, then the guns would not have earned, they would have stopped firing ATGMs on the APCs. Here politics deceives, not technology.

[Lopatov]

Not 2000, but 440, and they don’t give, but buy. An addition to the two hundred presented during the formation of the new Iraqi army. In addition, the machines are being upgraded, and not just anybody, but BAE Systems.
The total transaction amount (cars + resource recovery + modernization) is 163 million dollars.

[Akim]

Where are the numbers from? Okay, then I’ll be more precise than 1026 bets. And the amount of the contract with the modernization of only 51 lam. This is approximately the same amount that you need to pay for a batch of fours in the Pacific. So give.

I do not give a damn. It would even be better if these beters in the Ukrainian army turn out to be like the Algerian MiGs in Russia (I just remind you of this). As for the numbers 0- read carefully. The sum of all M113 is 32 million bucks, and with modernization - 51

Some Nigeria will be discounted. You yourself know. It is similar to the Algerian experience of Russia, but there they were replaced by "drying" under a far-fetched pretext. So the income still remained in the country.

Where is 32 there? There are 31 million - so much the Americans will save on storage and 51 million - the cost of upgrading and restoring the resource. Because cars are transferred for free.

This is a relatively expensive armored personnel carrier (compared to used Africa), and also requires some training of the crew. Today, only a few countries have trained technical personnel to service the BTR-3/4. He will not be taken at random. In addition, the commander and medical armored personnel carriers may be unclaimed. Will have to redo it. But in one fell swoop, you can re-equip the Marines of Ukraine. Although I, for the BTR-3 for them.

Some kind of crazy article. (looks more like a "duck") Always and at all times, acceptance of such specific products was carried out directly at the plant's landfill. From the article it appears that the Iraqis, during the verification tests, rejected the entire batch, but the "malicious Ukrainians", nevertheless, drove the entire batch from Kharkov to Odessa, loaded onto a ship and sent to Iraq ???

Now there will be a lot of talk on this topic. I found it here

Here's what Dumskaya was told by a former employee of one of the research and testing organizations subordinate to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, who personally was involved in testing the very BTR-4E supplied to Iraq:
“I was an army receiver. Do not confuse with a factory receiver. I tested this piece of iron in conditions that may occur during operation. Index “E” means that the products are exported and not intended for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. For the Armed Forces of Ukraine, another version of this product is provided - BTR-4M. However, it still exists only in the drawings. Of the seven options (projects) - not one was approved.
But back to the tests. Representatives of the Kharkov plant as they recognized my "mandatory program", so immediately twisted. Calls to Kiev began, after which some test cycles were simply removed.
Yes, I forgot to say. On the BTR-4 there is generally no tactical and technical task (TTZ - regulatory and technical documents in the development and production system for military equipment that establish a set of requirements for the content, scope and timing of research or development work, - Ed.) . In other words, the country did not order such an APC. This is a personal initiative of comrades from Ukroboronprom, Ukrspetseksprot and the breeders themselves. Without TTZ and the corresponding resolution of the relevant committee (on defense) of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, this is a self-made gun.
The second one. During the 20 days of the “lightweight” tests initiated by the plant, we identified 35 deficiencies in the machine’s body, 39 shortcomings in the combat module, five shortcomings in the power plant ...
One such drawback in Soviet times would mean sending equipment for revision. And if there are two or more, then this is a blockage. Full. In short, the car is not just r ... but r ... but in a cube! I finally advised the guys from the factory to often go to the Internet or watch Al-Jazeera so as not to miss the moment when their cars would blaze en masse on the battlefields. And then he learned that all the armored personnel carriers bought by Iraq are constantly in storage, under canopies. The army categorically refuses to ride them. That’s all love. ”

I suppose that the charms of small-scale production will come out in all their "glory" ... When each car is almost unique ...

[Akim]

True or not, I will not argue, but in Ukraine and in Russia, you should always be careful about "former". The most famous example for Russians is Kasyanov.

[svp67]

Quote: Corsair

Sorry, did not appreciate the irony

Sorry, there’s just not a lot of specialists here, you often have to start a dispute from scratch ...

And what else could "get out" besides rust?

Well, as far as the press can be believed, the Iraqi side had big claims to weapons. In general, I think that all this "whistle-dance" has more political motives ...

[Coward]

What about hidden defects?
I judge shipbuilding. Everything is controlled by both the representatives of the customer and the inspectors of classification societies. The ship passes the weight test complex. And the act of acceptance / transfer is signed. But after a year the ship comes for warranty repair, as the contract still prescribes the shipyard’s responsibility to eliminate the identified defects during the first year of operation. I think here something like that.

[Bugor]

Nonsense, of course. Filing a lawsuit against Iraq, and all short-lived. After all, we were sued in a similar situation.
Normal situation - the buyer has no money. There is nothing to pay with. You just need to call "purely specific guys" with muscles, handcuff the buyer to the battery, and in a month and without any soldering iron, the money will be found ..
Here are just "handcuffs", like "boys", our brotherly country, it seems, do not have ....

[Lopatov]

The Iraqis have money. And more. Most likely they do not want a "budget option", but normal ones. The same Polish ones. Or French.

Rokatushki can be considered if the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (let's fantasize) held a tender and by law any manufacturer can participate in it. And the Polish "Wolverine" came out against the "Ladya-M" And here there are two foreign states in Kuwait. My personal opinion: the French were scared. This is not the first time Kuwait wanted to hold a tender. The French beat the Americans and Italians for the first time. But the tender did not take place, everyone was sent for revision. There was no second tender at all, because the French lost to the Ukrainians and began "undercover" agreements with Kuwait. The most interesting thing: there is not a word about it on French sites.

In fact, recently Iraq has already bought a batch of armored personnel carriers. Amerovsky Bushny, M-113, if not mistaken. Apparently they already have enough, so they are giving up the excess. And the Ukrainian side gives them a reason for this - it does not fulfill the delivery time.

[svp67]

According to the deputy, during the investigation it was established that all the supplied armored personnel carriers "are very old, the bodies are rusty, the vehicles are unsuitable for use."

- Taki - analyzes. And lest they say that the Jews are greedy!

In the evening, the Jew returns with a full three-liter can again. Again - a neighbor:

- Well, is it beer?
- Taki again - tests. They found sugar there! Why does good disappear?

And, in essence, they were greedy on a business trip to Ukraine for the military representatives of the customer. They would have met, "sat well" and signed all the necessary papers.

[12345]

Quote: Alibekulu

... he is not Kazakh ...

Alas, not a Kazakh, not once. Maine - Orys. Men Oryssha Seileu.
However, in Kazakh, mal-mal belmes.

I remember, in Soviet times, we had such a topic here in Kazakhstan: "bilingualism - friendship is two wings."

After Kazakhstan gained "independence", the "two-winged friendship" was somehow forgotten. Like, there is a state language - period! Let me learn!
Like, we, the oppressed, at one time were forced to learn the Russian language, and now it's your turn to learn Kazakh.

Well, well, Soviet people are obedient ... I remember that I opened a textbook of the Kazakh language and the first thing I learned about it was about the "law of syngharmonicity", which, in addition to the Kazakh language, also exists in the language ... French! (True true!)

Stop, I said to myself, shouldn't I learn French instead of Kazakh? After all, French is a large part of the entire world literary classics (in Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" - whole pages are found exclusively in French, and that Tolstoy, the Great Pushkin, as a poet, began with French), plus very, very frail science (by specialty), but what, sorry muah, will I get by studying Kazakh? Songs of Abai's grandfather "in the original"? I have absolutely nothing against this grandfather, but French wins by a wide margin. Yes, it is much more complicated than Kazakh, with its conjugations and case endings (compare "kazak emes ol" - literally the dictionary forms are given, literally "Kazakh is not he"), but French is definitely worth it.

By the way, regarding the "forcible coercion of the Russian language", which local "patriots" (fortunately few in number) like to remember, I cite one curious fact: there are only four (!) Languages ​​in the whole world in which textbooks on nuclear physics: English, Russian, French and Chinese.

And finally. There were, somehow, here on our local television "Days of China in Kazakhstan". It turns out in China - Kazakhs also live! The Chinese television documentary showed their everyday life.

All polls live in yurts. Observe national traditions. They live as great-grandfathers-great-grandfathers exclusively by cattle breeding. All are illiterate (yeah, try to learn natural Chinese literacy!) They don’t hire anyone at enterprises (illiterate ones are unnecessary).
All are young and beautiful (there is no medicine either, very few live to old age). In general - "hello from distant history"!

As the saying goes: "Everything is cognized in comparison ..." ©.

the "Kazakh response" to Great Russian chauvinism, which was clearly manifested in your comment ..

Well, here, citizens, another Kazakh "patriot" - in all the "brilliance" of its ugliness.

He began with a well-mannered "you", but then, apparently, emotions won out, he could not resist and switched to "you". Weren't you and I when we drank at brotherhood?

In the answer of "Alibekovich", and this is how his name is partially translated - sheer grievances and emotions. And, in fact - what to be offended at? About what "chauvinism" are you trying to "sell" something here? Under the "Soviets" there were huge quotas on a national basis both in universities and in the government.

Apparently, there is a resentment, why these quotas were not 100%? Well, so, after all, someone then had to work in real production. And, not "general leadership" to deal with.

And there is nothing offensive here. It is necessary to study. Learn and develop. And not to let the famous "Kipchak swagger" go through your mouth.

Nesto an example of a dilapidated Kyrgyzstan - does not teach anything? However, it seems that studying is clearly not your calling ...

Quote: Alibekulu

I, as I understand you are a specialist ... ??
Why are you in Kazakhstan ... ??

I'm a specialist, yes. And, in Kazakhstan - only because I like it here. I have lived in different places and I have something to compare with. Both nature and people. By the way, people here are much kinder and nicer, for the most part, than in Russia. In Russia, "alibekovichi" are much more common. And, like, "their", but still - unpleasant. Very.

And, strange to say, all "alibekovichi", regardless of their nationality, have a striking similarity in their behavior. From Slavs to Kipchaks and from Jewish Arabs to Chinese. Almost like Down's disease patients. Those, too, are all - "to the same person", only, without any pretensions, which distinguishes them very favorably.

There is such an anecdote:

- When will they live in Russia, like in Europe?
- After 200 years.
- Why ???
- Because in Russia the first university was built 200 years later ...

Well, on the example of the completely ugly answer of "Alibekovich", even for those who are ignorant of history, it is simply "without glasses" that the first university in Kazakhstan (moreover - "evil occupiers") was built even later. Much later. Sorry - to blame ...

And, resentment, moreover, you have an undisguised one)). That we are doing well without you)) And, "an example of dilapidated Kyrgyzstan" is out of place here ..

Pardon me, take offense at very sick people "on the whole head"? However, it is a sin.

Regarding the "example of dilapidated Kyrgyzstan", as they say - "it's not over yet." And the more such pseudo-patriots as “Alibekovichs” there are, the earlier this “evening” will come. This, by the way, concerns Russia to a certain extent.

Regarding Kyrgyzstan, while vacationing in Issyk-Kul, I heard a phrase from a Kipchachka full of smug arrogance: "The Kyrgyz are beggars! They have nothing ..."

However, the availability of natural resources is a "double-edged sword". On the one hand, there is something to feed the population, and on the other, without a nuclear club, all this is extremely shaky. Examples of Libya and Syria - for the edification of everyone. Nothing good can be expected from NATO's withdrawal from Afghanistan and Central Asia. Russia, anymore, somehow no longer burns with a great desire to defend "small but proud" and very independent peoples. Therefore, if grandfather Nazarbayev had not shown his wisdom in organizing an alliance with Russia, I personally would have left long ago.

There is one more problem. China. I was there, somehow, on business. The sight is more than impressive. The entire population of the Republic of Kazakhstan (!) Can fit in a small (!) Chinese suburb.

Anyone (unlike the "Alibekovichs") who is at least in some way familiar with the basics of natural history in the elementary grades of the secondary school itself will remember Aristotle's grandfather, with his "Nature abhors a vacuum."
And, therefore, the existence of two countries with a common border, in one of which the population density is one of the highest, and in the other one of the smallest is FREQUENT.
Recall that Tibet, relatively recently, was also independent. Well, where is he, today, that Tibet? Huh? I can not hear! That's it - it ...

Kazakhstan did not have a very wide choice of who to "lean against".
As the Kazakhs were lowered to a medieval level in China, the Chinese themselves documented it.
How the "friendship with the West" ends - the unfortunate Gaddafi demonstrated, peace be upon him.

Well, and with Russia - they got along for a long time. We know through and through each other: what and when to expect.

Moreover, the fact that only Kazakhs are at the helm of Kazakhstan is not so bad: otherwise, after the confusion of the 90s, today there would be only Jews, as today in Ukraine, or in Russia, before coming of Putin. And, with such "steering" things rarely ends well.

The main thing is that the Kazakhs by nature are not nationalists, unlike, say, Kyrgyz or Uzbeks.

Individual "Alibekovich" - well, city madmen, they are everywhere, especially since a single "Alibekovich" is not so hopeless: it nailed him, despite all his "quirks", to a Russian-language website.

Hunger for real Culture is a strong thing ...

[12345]

Quote: 12345

"The Kyrgyz are beggars! They have nothing ..."

Yes, they are not like that, beggars, if they wanted to work. I'm talking about the national mentality.

One Issyk-Kul - what it costs! By golly, if he was a little smaller - he could be bottled like a mineral water.

All the shores were ALREADY built up with READY boarding houses. Only - support! They didn’t want to ...

A little touch: changing the currency in Kyrgyzstan to the local one. The course is predatory, but there is no choice. local authorities share with the money changer. The exchange has taken place, I believe and it turns out that the amount is 30% STILL lower. I make you count: in response, "mouth to ear" - "sorry bro - wrong." Counts all over again. I recalculate again - 10% is already missing.

And, here is such an ingenuous-naive greed EVERYTHING!

And, once there was an international anecdote. Years, so 12 years. All with the same Issyk-Kul. A foreign company was mining gold on the shores of this lake. And gold is "rectified" by precipitation in cyanide-containing electrolytes.

And then an accident happened: the side of the car, which was taking out drums with spent electrolyte for disposal, in a strange way "unfastened" the side immediately a few hundred meters from the water's edge and, oh, horror !!! One of the barrels leaked ...

The Kyrgyz - immediately trumpeted all over the world that Issyk-Kul was "hopelessly poisoned" and rolled out astronomical accounts to a foreign firm "to compensate for the ecological catastrophe."

As a result, the already few holidaymakers who accept the disgusting service in memory of the former splendor and appreciate the still magnificent nature - "blown away by the wind."
"For the rest of my life." ©

And, the scandal - somehow imperceptibly "came to naught". And no payments were received by the Kirghiz.

Then, it happened to me to have a rest on the same Issyk-Kul, where I met an elderly Russian woman who, it turned out, was a doctor of chemical sciences and one of the outside experts invited to assess the very "damage".

Everything turned out to be in typical national Kyrgyz "traditions".
Firstly, the volume of leakage through a small crack (!) In the damaged barrel was less than ... two (!) Liters.
Secondly, under the conditions of production, the transportation of such substances is carried out only with preliminary dilution to the most ACCEPTABLE concentrations!

In other words, my grandmother, a doctor of chemistry, told me with a laugh that what was in barrels could theoretically even be drunk without a guaranteed immediate fatal outcome!

And the vacationers, for the most part, never returned. The rest of the boarding houses - finally fell apart, and Turkey-Egypt did their job.

Greed and dullness - how popular the combination, so much - destructive ...

In psychiatry, this behavior is called "self-projection". And, anecdote, here - fell very much into the topic. Bo, "Alibekovich", having finally lost control over himself, literally "stripped naked" in front of a public audience. Exhibitionism?

Quote: Alibekulu

Listen, I know, like a Russian mat and a diamat, but ...

Well, the fact that the "Alibekovichi" know Russian swearing is that they try to demonstrate at every opportunity, this is one of their distinctive features. And, unfortunately, our "Alibekovich" is no exception ...
With diamat, as with all other knowledge, everything is much more complicated. And with obscenities, to be honest - also "not very": the designs are more and more primitive, "one floor". Alas, there is no "specialist" here either.
Perhaps that is why, being frank amateurs in everything, the "Alibekovichs" hate real "specialists" so much? In the dirty lips of the "Alibekovich", even the very word "specialist" sounds abusive.

I knew one "Alibekovich" who uttered the phrase: "Russians are specialists ..." with inimitable "thick" contempt, making the main emphasis on the last word.
Moreover, this "Alibekovich" himself, which is typical, was absolutely unable to do anything.

Quote: Alibekulu

... answer directly, in Russian ... how my supposedly "ugly answer" differs from your remarks towards the Ukrainians ...

Well, well, in view of the urgent requests, we will have to "enlighten" the next "dark aborigine". It will not be difficult, especially since according to my mother, I myself am half a crest.
First, the presence of profanity. This is the ugliest thing, which is why, I believe, Alibekovich's comment was deleted. By the way, not at all at my request: when the enemy covers himself with open shame, it is not in my principles to prevent this.
Secondly, the openly vulgar manner of communication is also "not comme il faut".

Now, with regards to our Slavic "scatter", in which it would be better for the Kipchaks not to interfere.
The word "nezalezhniy" is not just a printed word, but a LITERARY word of the Ukrainian language: see the original "nezalezhniy". The ending "th" instead of "iy" is due to the fact that the letter "and" in the Ukrainian language is read like "Y".
Thus, the "unfortunate Ukrainians", to whose protection the "brave horseman Alibekovich" so cheerfully rose, suffered only from the frankly dark ignorance of "Alibekovich" himself, which, in general, does not surprise anyone here anymore.
Moreover, in the expression "square-pey_satye", Ukrainians were not meant at all!

Well, what, Mr. "Alibekovich"? Now, still, calm down?
Or will you begin, no less cheerfully, to defend the already "unfortunate Jews"?

Stop "daragoy" I'll tell you, where do you live ??? Whose land do you feed on ?? Whose air do you breathe ?? At least just out of respect for the land where you live, where you work .. out of respect for the people with whom you again live and work .. At least because you like here. and because you lived in different places, and you there is something to compare.
Well, at least for the sake of peopleThat here, by the way - much kinder and more pleasant, for the most part, than in Russia.??? !!!
For the sake of all this, that definitely worth it ... and you should learn the Kazakh language ...

Stop "daragoy" I'll tell you, where do you live ??? Whose land do you feed on ?? Whose air do you breathe ?? If only out of respect for the land you live in, where you work ..

Finally! Ah, I already thought - I won’t wait!

Outpourings began on the topic: "Whose bread are you eating? Whose ground are you stomping on?"

And, "Alibekovich", quite recently, said that he is far from the Kirghiz ...
And, after all, there, too, with - THIS began. And Kazakhstan - in this direction, too, can "slide" very easily. For "tendencies" have long existed.

Why haven't I left yet? Paradoxically, because 90% of my acquaintances (!) Have already left. Among them there are many who "settled" not only in Russia, but also in Canada and Australia. And they earn there not by "delivering pizza". They are very, I repeat, very qualified specialists (I see how "Alibekovich" again "jerked" from this word).
So, according to my specialty, the people are left with "nothing but nothing", the fingers of one hand will be enough to count. And when there is a deficit in the market, including the labor market, the cost of this commodity-labor increases many times over. Which I frankly use.
These "lawyers-economists" can be stamped in three years. And, technical specialists, in three years - "Nakosya - take a bite!" ©
"From seven to ten" - at least, and then in the presence of the School.

And, the School in Kazakhstan, even in Soviet times, was, to put it mildly, "not up to par."
By the way, prophylactically stopping the next possible reproaches, I note that I was not studying in Kazakhstan and, again, I have something to compare with.

I will not list what else is required, except for the School, I note that no activity in the development of all this, in Kazakhstan, is observed.

As a result, even nails have already become such a "high-tech" product that they are already being imported from China. Yes, what - nails! They have already forgotten how to grow onions themselves!

There is very little left: to squeeze out the last remnants of the "Russian-speaking", and there, "from behind a distant hill" they will find a reason and an opportunity to brew the Great Troubles here.
The zhuzes can quarrel among themselves, or they can "pull up" the Islamists from Afghanistan.
"Pen test" in Zhanaozen has already taken place.

PS. And, for "Kazakh language" I am "trochi rosumiyu". Approximately in the same proportion as between the contributions to world culture and science between the languages ​​Kazakh and French.

It is paradoxical that such a specialist has not yet "settled" only in Canada, but even in Russia ?? !! That your "high qualification" is in demand only in Kazakhstan, and even then due to personal acquaintances and connections ..

I, as you understand it, in all "trocha rosumium"
Therefore, you are still in Kazakhstan ...

We hear these hysterical predictions from the moment of the formation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, but somehow everything does not happen Tired of wait-s ..
And there is no need to insult either Ukrainians, Jews or Kazakhs and Kyrgyz ..

"Personal acquaintances and connections"? For NOT a Kazakh? In Kazakhstan? May - dare ...

Oh, this ineradicable "Eastern mentality"! Well, the "alibekovichi" do not understand HOW it is possible to earn decent money WITHOUT "personal acquaintances and connections"!

Brain, disrespectful "Alibekovich", exclusively - the brain. This is very difficult to understand, especially for those who do not have it, but try. What? Again - no way? Well, don't be upset ... But you have good songs!

Quote: Alibekulu

I, as you understand it, in all "trocha rosumium"

That is, in the opinion of "Alibekovich", EVERYONE who remained in Kazakhstan is "trokhi rozumiyut" IN EVERYTHING?

Such self-criticism is hard to overestimate! However, he knows better, it’s hard for me to argue with him on such a question.
In my environment, worthy people still remained, and among them, by the way, there were not a few Kazakhs.

PS. Especially for the "especially gifted", conceived "on a drunken night" and born with an atrophied brain: I personally did not try to offend anyone.
And if someone is not able, due to the above reasons, to understand this, then let him read this paragraph 100 (one hundred) times every day. The paragraph begins after the Latin letters with a period (PS.), Where without brackets.
Vous comprenez l'allusion?

Even in this pinched shovik, who, as he says, did not try to offend .. was born with expressions: conceived "on a drunken night", born with an atrophied brain
Well, a fan of jokes, here's one right about you ..
"... - Tell me, doctor, what's wrong with me - I say one thing, think another, do the third?
- Sorry, we are not treating Stalinism ... "

conceived "on a drunken night" born with an atrophied brain fool

Actually, the phrase was addressed to a certain abstract interlocutor, but, here’s the choice whether YOU PERSONALLY belong to this group of mental invalids, I repeat, THIS choice remained exclusively for the manifestation of YOUR free will.
You have made your choice. The fact that you are an obvious disabled person was noticeable almost from your first post, but did not expect that, YOU will confess everything in everything ...

Just like in the next bearded joke.

They gathered, somehow, back in the USSR, representatives of all nationalities in one huge hall. They gathered and announced that our scientists are working to try to determine the most backward, in its development, nation.
At this moment, suddenly, the Chukchi gets up and with a serene childish smile on his face announces: "But, we have, however, good songs!"

My sincere condolences to your parents.
Feed from a spoon ... Constantly change bibs and diapers to your oversized child, who has one outlet in his life - a computer ...

That’s it, I won’t argue anything with you: you’ll break this dear toy again, and when your unfortunate old people will raise money for a new one ...

Quote 12345:In psychiatry, this behavior is called "self-projection".

One Issyk-Kul - why worth!

but French, definitely Worth it.

I, as I understand your "self-projection", was emphasized around the word "worth it"
As I understand it, you go to sublimate here ..
That "mayfuna broke" ?? Well, now everything is being treated

[vitas]

Well, brothers Ukrainians ...

[Gecko]

Get used to gifts of such a plan from your beloved USA ...

[bomg.77]

This is politics. It cannot be that the buyer does not check the equipment in Ukraine.
The Americans probably want to sell their armored vehicles to Iraq, which fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, and to squeeze the Ukrainians.
.

[mirag2]

No, dear comrades! This is not politics! The quality of Ukrainian industrial goods has fallen, and EVEN military equipment. As well as with us, except that to a greater extent (remember the batch of defective AKs). Or, what do you think, that in Ukraine is young people eager to graduate and work in a factory where they pay little money?
I tell you: they have the same problems as ours, as an optimist, I hope that they have affected us to a lesser extent.

[westland]

The Hindus also delivered our equipment of such quality in the late 90s, as a result, they almost got it for free

[Anphy]

Most of the low-quality products domestically sell well for decent kickbacks. With overseas deliveries, such a number, apparently, always goes far.

[Conepatus]

Just neh. it was the mediators in this contract to take the Americans. Not only did Ukraine have a penny under this contract, but there were also some misunderstandings. But in general, it’s okay, the Americans didn’t refuse from the Italian transporters either. forest fell. And their property, pick up to cover the damage. We will remain in profit.

It’s interesting, really marriage, or politics? And if marriage, then what exactly is the claim?

Most likely a simple cheap East Asian policy. And "marriage" is in technology, everyone has enough of it, both the Americans, the Germans, and ours. It's just that every marriage needs to be corrected in time.

What then should be cracks?
And why did the Iraqis not notice them at the preliminary acceptance ??

Right to the point! Before loading, the inspector’s technician at the factory is represented by the customer’s representatives! And what kind of rusty cases can they talk about ?! BTR-4 is assembled from scratch, and not upgraded from old models!

[Kowalsky]

I have no idea if there is a marriage there (I really want to believe that it is not), the thing is different. The Iraqis forgot the simple truth spoken by Bren: Woe to the vanquished. There is no doubt that the Americans vparivayut their junk in huge batches. So do not Iraqis *** and resent. Of course, Ukraine is not the United States, because in Baghdad they decided to play independence and show ambition. But whether they want it or not, these armored personnel carriers will be delivered to them if this is decided in the USA. My personal opinion is that the contract with Iraq really was a kind of payment for Ukraine’s participation in that war (albeit indirect). As long as the Americans allow, Ukraine will be able to supply at least worn footcloths to Iraq.

Good evening everyone!
The background in this story may eventually turn out to be the point expressed here or completely different.
But what, although it was to be expected, it still pricked in my heart that if my native Ukraine, has long been "jumping as obediently as they whistle to her" from the Council of Deputies, then how it will be "used without hesitation" after the signing in September 2013 of the Treaty of Intent to join the EU!

[chunga-changa]

The point is not in the armored personnel carriers themselves, which no one, neither Iraq, nor Ukraine needs nafig in any form. It’s just that Iraq is trying to return part of its money that amers spent for them, thanking ukrov in such an intricate way for helping to plunder Iraq.

[Silkway0026]

I worked for several years in Lebanon (not Iraq, of course, but the Arabs are all smeared with myrrh). So, whenever our businessmen approached me with a request to help in organizing a sale to Lebanon or somewhere else to the Arab conclave of some goods, the first thing that I STRONGLY recommended to ours was not to sell on terms with delivery to the buyer's port (CIF). only for them to come and receive in the country of shipment (FOB) themselves. This is an Arabic counter - when the goods arrived at them, i.e. a lot of money was spent on shipping, transport ... etc (i.e. you already got a lot of money) - they climb aboard the ship and say - no, it's not good, and any of their CCI is ready to confirm that you really are brought them guano. and then the bargaining begins, ".... ok, we are ready to consider, but what will be the new price, taking into account what you brought us ..."

so - this is an ordinary Arabian divorce on the grandmother ... do not look deeply, stupidly ho.hl.y we lounged on the terms of the contract

[women formal dress]

In short garbage and not news.
