Misadventures of Ukrainian armored personnel carriers in Iraq

72


2013 year for the Ukrainian "Ukrspetseksport" became very difficult. In the first place, this was due to the conflict situations that arose with regard to the supply of BTR-4 to Iraq.

So, according to the terms of the contract concluded in 2009, the Ukrainian side was obliged to supply the Arabs with aircraft, Tanks and 420 BTR-4. For Ukraine, this deal was the largest since the collapse of the USSR - the amount under the agreement was $ 2,4 billion.

At the beginning of 2013, as part of the fulfillment of obligations under this transaction, Iraq received 88 armored personnel carriers delivered in two batches: 26 units were shipped in April, 2011, and 62 armored personnel carriers were delivered to the customer in October, 2012.

But with the party, shipped to the Iraqi side in the spring of 2013, there was a conflict with the customer. 42 combat vehicles, which were delivered to the port of Umm-Qasr on the ship SE PACIFICA (owner - Singapore company White Whale Shipping), were not accepted by the Iraqi military because they were defective. The customer found cracks in the body of combat vehicles and flatly refused to accept the cargo. The vessel with non-loaded armored personnel carriers was anchored in the Persian Gulf for a long time, then sailed to the Indian shores with a cargo of metal.

The delay in the transfer of armored personnel carriers to an Iraqi customer led to a disruption in the delivery schedule of the metal to India: the ship and its cargo were arrested in the Indian port. After being released from arrest (the Indians demanded three months late payment from the supplier), the ship returned to the Persian Gulf in September. During his entire stay off the coast of Iraq, the ship’s commander repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to obtain instructions and concrete decisions from the Ukrainian side regarding the future fate of the cargo. But it was in vain: Iraq by this time announced the cancellation of the contract with Ukraine. The long-suffering ship SE PACIFICA set off along the way with armored personnel carriers rejected by Iraqis. The dry cargo ship SE PACIFICA arrived in the beginning of January 2014 of the year in the port of Oktyabrsk, which since Soviet times was used to export weapons.

The sad finale of such a lucrative contract for the Ukrainian military industry has its own reasons. And each of the parties has its own vision of the situation with the fulfillment of rights and obligations under the transaction.

Misadventures of Ukrainian armored personnel carriers in Iraq


The Iraqi military does not hide its opinion on the operation of the BTR-4 in Iraqi territory. They note: “Very good and powerful weapons, but with the 30-mm ZTM-1 cannon there were a number of problems. In addition, the process of equipping the combat module with ammunition for the 30-mm cannon is quite complicated. The ribbon supply sleeve requires a better quality with smoother surface "The presence of anti-tank guided missiles deserves a good mark." But according to Iraqi customers, the BTR-4 MSA, although better than a number of Ukrainian and Russian, is still inferior to European systems. In addition, the Iraqi military during the operation of the BTR-4 were forced to replace the coolant with that used in Iraq - due to the fact that the coolant of the supplier of equipment did not lower the engine temperature to the required values. Also for the Iraqi military, the cause of pipeline leaks on many Ukrainian armored personnel carriers remained unknown.

According to Iraqi experts, test operation was carried out on high-quality roads and at not very high air temperatures (in the summer, the heat reaches 55 degrees), so the engine did not work at maximum load. But even in such circumstances, technology often broke down.

Summing up all the arguments, we can say that the Iraqi military believes that the BTR-4 is easier to operate than American or European vehicles, but this car is still poorly protected from land mines and RPGs. According to them, when mounted on the BTR-4 lattice screens, armored personnel carriers will become more protected from these weapons.

In addition, Iraqi technical experts are very unhappy with the training they took in Ukraine. In their opinion, the Ukrainian instructors were not competent enough, and the general level of training was very weak.

So what could be the main reason for the marriage of Ukrainian armored vehicles?

There is a fairly well-founded opinion that the cause of the cracks found in the BTR-4 hulls, delivered under the Iraq contract, was a high level of welding stresses that could arise when the welding technology was violated. According to experts, the welding mode was obviously violated, and the work was carried out in a cold workshop, in drafts. In this case, the weld is cooled much faster than it should be - because of this, thermal stress has been created in the metal. This assumption is confirmed by the fact that it was in the combat vehicles, the hull welding of which was carried out in the winter, cracks and other defects were found.








Experts say that in order to avoid this defect, metal parts after welding had to be placed in a high-temperature chamber (200-300 degrees) and slowly cooled.

The culprit in the marriage of the buildings was recognized by the Lozovsky Forging-Mechanical Plant (LKMZ). It is possible that the additional gas costs made the project unprofitable for LKMZ, and the production workers saved on gas in full confidence that the poorly executed work would go unnoticed. And so it happened - neither the state-owned Ukrspetsexport, which was obliged to provide authoring support for the entire project, nor the experts of the Malyshev Kharkov Machine-Building Plant either noticed or pretended not to notice the technical marriage allowed by LKMZ.

It should be noted that some experts say that in Soviet times such an attitude to work would be defined as sabotage and sabotage, but now other times and a different assessment of actions. The greed and dishonesty of those responsible for technology compliance led to the sad end of the Ukrainian-Iraqi military-technical project.

It is possible that what became known thanks to the information of numerous media outlets is only the tip of the iceberg. After all, Iraq refused not only the BTR-4 party, but also other planned deliveries of military equipment. This can also be a serious reason. As a result of a whole chain of adverse events, the Ukrainian budget will not receive huge foreign exchange earnings, and the reputation of manufacturers has also suffered significant damage. The state-owned companies Progress and Ukrspetsexport owed the shipowner for the direct transportation of armored vehicles to the shores of Iraq, for months of drift in the Persian Gulf. The return of armored personnel carriers will cost the Ukrainian treasury also expensive.

As soon as it became clear that all those involved in the transaction from the supplier of military equipment will not receive any commissions or profits, and that the funds spent on marketing will not be compensated (and they, according to some calculations, equal one third of all funds under the contract) to the prosecutor’s office was given the command to understand the situation.

It is not difficult to find the perpetrators of such a failure of the Ukrainian military industry - they are known. It's no secret that the reason for the failure to supply military equipment under the contract is not only the dishonesty of the production workers, but also the too large chain of intermediaries in the implementation of the contract. But many of them are abroad and continue their work on armory markets, including the Russian one, and are inaccessible to the Ukrainian justice. Their significant earnings are hidden in offshore accounts of foreign firms. Companies such as UST-Tech Consulting, Hectorian Services, British Lanefield Exports, owned by Belize-based companies Milltown Corporate Services and Ireland & Overseas Acquisition, Universal Investment Group (UIG), have been well known to Ukrainian law enforcement agencies for a long time - they were intermediaries in others. deals of Ukrainian gunsmiths.

In addition, problems with the Iraqi contract are also associated with D. Salamatin joining the Ukrspetsexport state corporation, who served as head of the Ukroboronprom. Failure to supply Iraq with military equipment cost the position of Ukrspetsexport general director D. Peregudov. His place was taken by A. Kovalenko. But this resignation did not help the Ukrainian Arms Corporation - instead of the Ukrainian BTR-4, the Iraqi side decided to buy Russian BTR-82.

It must be said that some media have passed information that 40 armored personnel carriers returned by the Iraqi side after arrival at the port of Odessa will be inspected, and if there are damages and defects, they will be repaired. If the Iraqi side agrees, after carrying out maintenance and repair, the armored personnel carriers will be able to go to the customer again. But if Iraqi customers believe their supplier?

Ukraine continues to work on the conclusion of new contracts for the supply of BTR-4 - buyers can become the armed forces of Kazakhstan, India, the United Arab Emirates and the armies of other countries. It remains to be believed that Ukrainian suppliers will take into account their own experience and mistakes in the implementation of other contracts.

      Well, my friends are Photoshop experts!

      Some figures assured everyone 2 weeks ago that the cracks shown earlier in another photo were photoshop! And they told us about the worldwide conspiracy of the USA and Russia, against Ukrspetsexport.

      If the baron himself posted them (photo), or does he also work for her? Hello to a friend who argued with me that all the BTRs were accepted at the factory (and acceptance certificates are signed at the factory) -The Iraqis were drunk that did not notice it?

      Yes, special greetings to fellow tankmen-Sapran, Akim, Rebus, KapellaN, Gasta Claus69, Kars, _Camova_, Cristall and other specialists on cracks and world-wide unmaskers of conspiracies against the glorious Ukrainian Criminal Procedure Code

      you don’t need pictures, you need to write books, greetings to your clowns from Urspetsexport, who instead of quickly responding to the problem and solving it, mumbled for a year and said something about the machinations of enemies and competitors.

And the author probably wrote an article in a drunken stupor about cracks about loads, and then he issued that the pictures were not of this batch but of the previous one - now the question is what does the third batch have to do with ??

              These photos are not painted. Luminous flux goes through the cracks correctly. You can’t draw them. About the marriage of the buildings, a bold statement, because there is one crack on two sheets. How it was posed is the question (maybe during welding, or maybe for another reason).

              And the fact that the article was published on the SECOND day after the ship arrived at the port, and where is the photo of the THIRD installment ?? WITH YOUR cracks?

                        But in this case there are more questions than answers. If Iraq refused the third installment, then show the photo of the cracks of the THIRD installment and the official refusal, but there are no rumors and clandestine photos on which it is not possible to say anything specifically.

                        As they say in Ukroboronprom itself, that there were cracks in the armor of this batch of armored personnel carriers, only the lazy did not speak in the company. I have no doubt that, informing the president about the solution of problematic issues and receiving a guarantee from the government, would-be heads of state-owned companies knew about the cracks in the armor. Of course, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the question of which of the officials of Ukroboronprom and Ukrspetsexport, in spite of the revealed defects, gave the order to send the batch with defects to the customer.

                        Also quite interesting how and why Minister of Defense D. Salamatin signed an order on the adoption of this type of military equipment with numerous defects and deficiencies in the armament of the Ukrainian army. By the way, the Prosecutor General’s Office has already thought about this, which, as it became recently known from prosecutors, opened criminal proceedings upon abuse of authority by officials of the Ministry of Defense.

                        Did the Iraqi military know that there were cracks in the armor of this batch of equipment? I think they knew, but, quite possibly, they relied on very "weighty arguments."

                        According to the old Ukrainian tradition, after the arrival of the equipment at the military base in Tajji, the figures from Ukrspetsexport forgot about the transfer of "weighty arguments" to the interested Iraqi military. It was after this that the Iraqi military began to "actively" identify cracks in the armor.

                        I remember all your cracks

                      In the lower third, the crack sticks together. Drawing it is not a problem. It needs to be implanted. And at a computer resolution of 72 or 96 points, this cannot be done. Therefore, the jambs are visible.
                      And they did not have the original photo from the camera. Therefore, the canopy is visible.

                        Show the arrow where something is sticking together. Once again: in order to draw a strip, you do not need to work with an eraser. And the airbrush tool is used in the pro-old versions of Photoshop.
                        Can you show a picture without a crack, the same resolution as a picture with a crack?
                        Judging by the quality of the pictures, this is the source. Made by some kind of smartphone shit. However, what you presented without a crack is of even worse quality.
                        If your crack is so easy to draw, I assume that you can do it. Can you draw a crack of a different shape in another place of the photo provided and lay it WITHOUT a decrease in quality and resolution?

                        Here on your photos you can see the processing of a photo that was originally laid out on the network with a crack. And I do not see cracks in the last instance.
                        I’m saying this by the fact that from the photo that was posted on the network, more precisely, its framed piece with an accent circle, it is impossible to determine 100% that this crack was drawn in a graphical editor. If you have the source from the camera, then this can be set with 100% accuracy. But once again I say: by the quality of the image, by the size of the photo, we can conclude that the photo after shooting was not adjusted for quality, but only an accent circle was cropped and drawn. The size, quality, structure of noise allow us to conclude that it was a camera in a mobile phone or smartphone. If so, then this is not a fake. But if not, then the fake was made with a high-quality photo and it was made by a good specialist.

        you will not believe, but the repaired equipment is put into operation (even after through holes), we are talking about the fact that the failed overseas activity of Ukrainian arms providers, that is, either they sold themselves on purpose at the expense of certain companies (countries) or stupidity, both in the first and in the second case it is HARMFUL, and it should be punished by SHOOTING, otherwise there is no other way, let me remind you, a contract with KrAZmi in Iraq (for some reason, Kamaz arrived in Iraq), a contract with Turkey for the supply of scimitars (Euroported T-64s, and Leo arrived in Turkey, with what scimitar levs were still pulled out of the mud), Yuzhmashev's "zeniths" to the sea start-complete, drowned about 30 near-earth navigation satellites of the customer, with An-70 and An-140 to speak at once !!!!!! and so on, do not fatty fingers

      Sorry ... what kind of nonsense are you talking about?

      Suppose there really are cracks. And then the matter is not the availability of a sufficient amount of gas, but a completely different matter.

      And in Ukraine there are craftsmen who can weld good steel. But do the foremen give the steelworkers a normal job?

      And with whose filing did they miss with such an explicit marriage?

      I repeat once again - are there any cracks?

        There, during rental, constant heating is needed for tempering, and then the edges of the sheet are substandard, especially when deviating from the technology. They are usually cut, but apparently they decided to save on metal. In general, the ends must be sought from the suppliers of the sheet and from the manufacturers of the cases. In general, the scammers are trivial, either they gave out sheets for condition, all in size, or others cut the condition, but the grandmas were in someone’s pocket. Cracks, not due to welding, welding, usually go along the seam, and in the photographs, count everything along the normal to the seam.

    According to experts, the welding mode was obviously violated, and the work was carried out in a cold workshop, in drafts.

    According to the author who posted the photo of the cracks, this is a photo of the cracks of the second batch of armored personnel carriers delivered to Iraq in October 2012. Cases of this batch could not be physically cooked in a cold workshop (spring, summer and autumn 2012 were quite hot).
    Touched by the arguments of the so-called experts
    The culprit of the marriage of cases recognized Lozovo Forge and Mechanical Plant (LKMZ)

    The APCs have not yet been unloaded or inspected, and the perpetrator has been appointed and punished.

    Even if these photos of the Iraqi armored personnel carriers of the second batch, it is embarrassing that the Iraqi side did not present any claims to this shield. On the cannons, only the lazy did not suck this information, but on the hulls - no. Data on cracks appeared after publications on the Dumskaya.net portal, like all subsequent photos, and not from the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, because the warranty period has not yet expired, and can I replace a defective APC with a new one?

        Dear, in those years I worked at the Minsk factory, which equipped these very MZKT chassis with electronics and sat behind their wheel due to its clallification. And if more than one person told me that the chassis was taken from a party that had not found buyers at one time and had not been stored for several years in the open air for more than one month (or even a year), then IT'S BETTER to know the truth I say or not.
        Today, a lot of military equipment has been at storage bases since the days of the USSR. And it needs to be put somewhere. Another thing is if during the sale to potential buyers it will be disassembled to the screw and reassemble. And if not??? It can be seen this happened then. They just cheated. They didn’t look ...
        It’s just that I am inclined to believe that if you work, then work HONESTLY for principles, and not scandalously for the sake of money.
        But sometimes I said these chassis because there was a similar case with the MTLB chassis. But then at the time they changed their minds and went over completely, with the replacement of substandard parts.
        Therefore, I, as an agent, dare to ask you to apologize to me in connection with a doubt in my abilities and in my intellect, sir Yes

      and it will not be. The penalties stipulated by the same contract will most likely follow. as was the case with the AN-32B aircraft when they set a fine for the failure of the contract in the amount of 165 thousand dollars. The same for BTR The penalty for the failure of the contract is 1% per month of the cost of the equipment not delivered (starting from the second month of the delay). Iraq has the right to demand no more than 10% of the total. And this is - 55 million dollars (including 9,9 million dollars for airplanes).
      An exception - Iraqi decision or force majeure like an earthquake, flood, or an international embargo.
      Therefore, the Iraqis themselves will not terminate the contract

    In addition, the Iraqi military during the operation of the BTR-4 was forced to replace the coolant with the one used in Iraq - due to the fact that the coolant of the equipment supplier did not lower the engine temperature to the required values. Also, for the Iraqi military, the reason for the leakage of pipelines on many Ukrainian armored personnel carriers remained unknown.

    According to Iraqi experts, test operation was carried out on high-quality roads and at not very high air temperatures (in the summer, the heat reaches 55 degrees), so the engine did not work at maximum load. But even in such circumstances, technology often broke down.

      After all, at the time, Malyshev was cooked at the time, so cooked with the highest quality!
      And the process is not so complicated. At one time, he was organizing a brigade for welding an additional sheet of armor on the VLD of our tanks (after the adoption of a new BPS in NATO). So the soldiers were cooking there, under the guidance of a true specialist. Right in the parks of parts. And nothing, not any cracks.

    I sit and look at all these wonders of photoshopists. Himself in the distant pheasant past, welded 5th grade. For those who are not knowledgeable, I can explain how to cook with a semiautomatic device and in an inert gas environment, including copper-nickel alloys. Such breaks and cracks can only appear in very poor metal. Like German armor 44 years old, when ours cut off the supply of alloy metals. Rolled homogeneous armor is a type of steel used for armoring vehicles. The steel for the armor must be hard and ductile to withstand high velocity projectiles. Steel with similar characteristics is produced by rolling hot steel of a certain size to plates of the required thickness. Rolling reduces the number of weak points in the steel, which in turn increases its strength. Also, this procedure creates "steel fibers" inside the plates, which increases the stress resistance of the metal due to a more even distribution of the impact load throughout the plate. Rolled homogeneous armor is called so due to the fact that its structure and composition is uniform throughout its entire volume. In contrast to homogeneous steel, there is a heterogeneous (hardened) steel, the face of which is reinforced at the structural level. The front side of such steel (heterogeneous armor is obtained from a homogeneous one) after heat treatment (hardening) becomes less ductile, but more solid.
    So in Photoshop, it turns out that this is an ordinary tin ... There are times to not like the Ukrainians, but this is not a reason to spread rot. Kharkovites can create decent equipment, the t-80 is the answer!

        I completely agree with you, such cracks can form if glass was brewed, steel cannot crack like this, even cast iron does not burst, and then there are cracks in the body of the armor longer than 20 centimeters. If it were clear at the seam then, it would be possible write off the technology, and so the armor burst, what will happen to it, if it doesn’t even have a shell, but a bullet from a heavy machine gun gets hit, will fly apart like a crystal vase? The most interesting thing is that the seams are whole, there’s not a single badly cooked one, otherwise shown.

      Brewing cracks is not difficult. It is not clear how to eliminate stress in the hull; without this, new cracks will appear continuously during exploitation.

    If the Ukrainians have learned to work again, now they need to work efficiently, so they will become part of the Russian Federation - the number will come and the quality will come.

          The topic has gone away from the Batars - to hell with him. What does Ukraine gobble up at you? Recently I watched the last "Ural dumplings". When the western hemisphere of the brain of the "Ukrainian boy" chooses Santa Claus, and the eastern one is Father Frost. This is not true. Both Eastern and Western Ukraine celebrate a single holiday - St. Nicholas.
          And so it is in life: Russia is not the owner of the table, but also the buyer. like Europe. Only buys more valuable and technically sophisticated Ukrainian goods.

              And this is a sign that Russia UNTIL such groups of Ukrainian goods are needed, until then in Russia they will not make import substitution and will not establish the need for production, in full, at home. And do not understand this, maybe except that durbetselo, like the Westerners on the Maidan, which require immediate European integration. Yanukovych simply took a respite from the inevitable.
              But, this does not mean that Russia is the master of the table. Now there are Ukrainian dishes on the table.

    I’m not sure about the ships in the port, on the railroad they load day and night both in NG and at Christmas, etc., because a simple wagon drips automatically and well on the fault of a non-unloaded person on the railway. By the way, that’s why holidays like hired movers pay more :).

    This is a common casting defect. These cracks have nothing to do with welding. Well, Ukrainians know a lot about welding. But why did such sheets miss control? This is a question. And another question arose. Any welder with brains will say less-What to cure such a crack is the third grade of the second quarter. Generally there are no questions. Why left as it is? Just some kind of mess.

      Sculpture "Motherland - Mother" in the city - the hero Kiev.


      Excerpt from Wikipedia:
      The metal frame is made of stainless steel, smelted in Zaporozhye. The steel plating was welded by experts of the Paton Electric Welding Institute from sheets of 50x50 cm in size, 1,5 mm thick. The total length of the joints was about 30 km. A sculpture of this size was made for the first time in the USSR. It was made at the Paris Commune factory in Kiev, taking into account the recommendations of the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute for welding stainless steel elements in separate blocks-sections weighing 25-30 tons. The height of the sculpture "Motherland" (from the pedestal to the tip of the sword) is 62 m.
      Total height with pedestal - 102 meters
      In one hand the statue holds an 16-meter sword weighing 9 t, in the other - a shield measuring 13 × 8 m with the emblem of the USSR (weighing 13 t)

      According to the conclusions of experts, the monument "Motherland" should stand for more than 150 years.

    Profit decides everything, "there are no crimes that the capitalist would not commit with the possibility of obtaining 300% of the profit" we have the same problems in Russia, just cry less (for now), and for the next years orders on helicopter topics from over the hill are significant decreased and one of the problems is the low quality of the supplied products. Although the MiG-29 with delivery to Algeria, it seems, should have scared our "trepmanegrs" because the real terms (though they have already amnestied the inmates) were received, but everything is not the same as before; production-manufacturing is cheaper, more expensive for sale = a bonus for yourself, and then not their problems.

    LKMZ ... City Lozova, Kharkiv region. In the 70s, my father worked in the BTsRP (the workshop in which the armored personnel carriers were assembled). He spoke recently with his cousin, who finished working there until he retired and still has not lost touch with production. The work there is now carried out "on the knee", by hand - almost all the equipment was handed over to ferrous metal. My father, at one time, received up to 700 rubles there (can you imagine what 700 rubles is at a time when bread cost 16 kopecks and "Zhigul" - seven thousand?). But then there was a shot-blast and a heat chamber and other benefits of production - well, there is ventilation, etc. Now they pay three thousand a month. And a minimum of mechanization and other pleasures. Young people do not want to go to ruin their health, there are almost no intelligent specialists left - they died out like mammoths. Long live independence!
