There is a simpler and more reliable way. Do not pay salaries to teachers and doctors, as well as pension to pensioners. Literacy is useless. It’s possible to fight. Who is healthy - will survive, and who is sick, still can not fight. And pensioners have contributed to the development of Ukraine and are no longer needed. T.O. the revenue side will remain in the budget, and the expenditure will only be on the army and the oligarchs.

A bit of math:
KIEV, 25 Mar. - RIA Novosti. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine allocated almost 1,9 billion hryvnias (more than 183 million dollars) for the country's defense from the reserve fund of the state budget.
The corresponding order of the Ukrainian government is published on its website.
Taking into account the increase - 210,8 million "dead raccoons"
We translate into the technique:
BTR - about 335 pcs.
T-90 class tank - 44 pcs.
Su-30МК class aircraft - 5,2 pcs.
Aircraft AWACS A50EI (export) - 0,52 pcs.
About submarines modestly silent ...

Well, right, in Ukraine, "teeth on the shelf" not the junta and Bandera will put people.
And both with SMS and with a bottle of vodka that Yatsenyuk advertised but for that there under the lid there will be not 5 hryvnias for example but 15,20 ..... and more. He opened it and saw it and transferred it to the army.
Although it would be funny if it were not so sad.

To be honest, the defense industry in Ukraine is not so "good", but most likely so ... well, very bad, I never expected that even as a "trophy" their equipment is not suitable! I got drunk over videos about the "formidable" armies of the Baltic states, especially about their "military parades", and in Ukraine, it would seem, in such a large state, with such a potential, good specialists, to bring to complete "incapacity" my army ... I never thought that the army of Ukraine, even with the Kazakh one, would be ashamed.
What have the government authorities been doing for more than 20 years? Probably only managed to shove into their pockets, and mayDaUny in the "commemoration" of the economy of their country another "nail" hammered.
Yes ... it will be hard for the PEOPLE of Ukraine to PULL the country out of the "swamp" ...

“The costs of defense and security after amendments to the law“ On the State Budget of Ukraine for 2014 ”are set in the amount of UAH 45,5 billion (4,26 billion dollars), or at the level of 3% of gross domestic product (GDP) ”
And for example: defense and security spending in Kazakhstan (which is not in conflict with someone, and in which the population is 3 times smaller) for 2014 - 5,3 billion dollars (moreover, the amount is calculated at the new rate). Military spending in Kazakhstan is just over 1% of GDP.

[Vittt]

The worst thing is that Putin said "a" but did not say "b" - that is, did not take, together with Crimea, southeastern and central (together with Kiev) Ukraine. Weak! There was a moment when the West was in a shock-ass, it could have moved! And the West would have sung the same songs, even if Russia had taken Mukachevo, Rovno, Vinnitsa, Tiraspol, or maybe something else! And so we limited ourselves to the Crimea. Those. US missile defense near Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Donetsk, and even in Lviv !!! - now for Pu - this is normal. It’s not okay !!!!!!!!

It is a pity that you were not in Putin's advisers at that time. You would teach him how to do it.

I’m also interested, the GDP of Ukraine in 2013 amounted to 1,5 trillion. hryvnia (6% less than planned, by the way), based on these fantasies:

“With this in mind, defense and security spending in 2014 will amount to 52,4 billion hryvnias ($ 4,9 billion), which will amount to 3,4% of GDP. This is 15,6% more than in 2013, ”the Ministry of Finance noted.

for 2014, they plan to GDP of 1,8 trillion. hryvnia.

What GDP should grow by 20% (!)? The country's economy is breathing in the air, the hryvnia is getting cheaper ... Dreamers, however!

on March 31, 2014 (and for the next two months), not a single (!!!) army in Europe will be able to attack Russia! because - WEAK !!!

I don’t think that everything will be so simple.
It will be very difficult.

Another question is that, apart from getting into a tough, armed opposition, the southwest has no options. There the Führer and the roots of ideology.
The third question is that no one wants a war, even KIEV, except for Yarosh and others like him.
Another question is that until the very last Americans will fiddle with the scrotum of Yarosh to poison us against each other.
They (amers) no longer have other goals, since they overslept the main bonus (Crimea).
Center (Kiev) will now shoot and squeeze ulras. Ultras will now begin to press the center.
The south-west will get tough, but peripherally, because it’s not up to them sleepy.

This is until about June. Then all odioses will disappear and the outskirts will agree to quietly create a bridgehead for the NATO invasion (if possible).

[Zeus]

Given the budget deficit, the costs of the army, they apparently gathered due to donations of citizens through SMS to increase.

[Thomas]

All this increase in hryvnias sounds ridiculous, for at least two reasons:
1) the hryvnia exchange rate falls and when it stops it is not quite clear.
2) the current financial distribution scheme ensures that a decent portion of this money does not reach the army itself, but settles in your pockets. All that do not steal along the way, will be pulled away on the ground.
As a result, it turns out that all these are just words. And if they still buy fuel, as recently from Kolomoisky, and others at inflated prices, then the army will not only see this amount, but even lose part and the existing budget.

Actually, a bag of American noodles doesn’t amount to $4,26 billion. Well, it’s 15,6%, let’s go all the way to 156%. Isho, if you sell exclusive burnt tires from the Maidan and other military rubbish to the West, then it will block all their fantasies on this topic.

We must start the reform by reducing admirals! Why the hell do they have 11 admirals for such a pseudo-fleet! Complete “lords of the sea”! Kick out 11 admirals. Count the millions, 20 rubles saved a year! Next, close the maritime academy in Odessa! They've also got a lot of money, well, they won't have any fleet, for a couple of troughs they can hold a military department in a civilian university! Give Russia the cruiser "Ukraine"! This will add more problems for us, what to do with it, plus not spending almost 7 lyam hryvnia on it! THANK YOU TO RUSSIA FOR NO LONGER NEEDING TO FEED AND MAINTAIN 15000 soldiers in Crimea - now we’ve saved some more! Give up all the junk that Russia wants to return - it will be more expensive to restore it all! Simply write off everything unnecessary and for scrap metal! This is what I understand as a real reform program! Disband the Navy altogether, leaving only the maritime border guard!
But instead... let's increase defense spending... Hello, soon there will be nothing to eat! Swap tanks for combines and tractors!

[Retvizan]

While moving equipment to the eastern border, we lost several tanks, an airplane, and a self-propelled gun. In the era of precision weapons, tanks were buried in the ground. A large-radius air defense system was installed at the border, I could be wrong because I saw it on NTV out of the corner of my eye. On the way back they will lose some of their equipment again, God willing, without casualties. As a result, they will understand how many rides were stolen and that it is more realistic to write off the rest than to repair/upgrade them. They will understand that they do not have an army as such. If the report from Crimea on the first channel that the men ate normally at the service for the first time after joining is not a canard and propaganda, this speaks volumes. Yes, and officers’ retirement was postponed from 45 to 60 years old; who in their right mind will remain in service? Moreover, even the most patriotic do not know what will happen to their Ukraine tomorrow.
