Ukrainian saga on the supply of "Oplota-T" in Thailand continues

Scandalous story on supplies of Ukraine tanks BM Oplot-T to Thailand has been lasting since 2011 and will probably not end soon - the dispatch of the third batch of armored vehicles, which Ukroboronprom promised to implement at the end of 2015, has again been postponed. This is reported by the blog. bmpd with reference to UNIAN.

One of the third party battalion BM "Oplot-T" under construction in Thailand in the assembly shop of the Kharkov State Enterprise "Malyshev Plant". Staged photo shoot, December 2015 of the year.

“On the third installment of Oplotov, delivery was literally postponed to the nearest 2016 period of the year,” Roman Romanov, the general director of Ukroboronprom, told the agency.

"The contract with Thailand for the supply of 49 tanks" Oplot "was signed in 2011 year, the total cost - about 250 million dollars. The first batch of 5 tanks was delivered at the end of 2013 of the year. In June, the concern 2015 performed the next delivery of 5 tanks, ”reminds UNIAN.

The contractual obligations were to be fulfilled by the Ukrainian side before the end of 2014. However, to date, Thailand has received only 10 tanks.

The contract is implemented by the Kharkov state enterprise “Plant named after V.A. Malysheva.

      Plywood is probably enough, but the armor and everything else is visible bye-bye. 5 tanks a year, and only 49. That way another 8 years minimum. Thailand must impose 404 penalties on the country. Get your 250 lemons back and fine on top. Something like this.

The economy of Ukraine operates in a very interesting mode-mode of unilateral conduction. Money is sucked into the country like a vacuum cleaner and then lost.

      A bit of history
      in the mid-90s, there was a supply of 320 Ukrainian T-80UD tanks to Pakistan. The total amount of that contract is estimated at 650 million dollars.
      In the summer of 1996, Ukrspetsexport signed a contract with Islamabad for the supply of tanks, spare parts and after-sales service. The Pakistanis were attracted by the frankly bargain price of $ 1,5 - 2 million apiece, which is 40% cheaper than the serial Russian counterpart T-80. Ukrainian peddlers convinced Asians that the components of the tanks (80% of Malyshev products consisted of Russian-made parts) would be ordered and delivered in a timely manner. Pakistan made an advance payment of $ 68 million. Russia flatly refused to supply Kiev with guns, engines, thermal imagers, communications, and much more. In February 1997, the first batch of 15 Soviet tanks from the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense, previously pre-trained. The next batch already came with a new Ukrainian “filling”, which caused a scandal. After 10 shots, the cannon trunks were torn apart (Russian guns withstood more than 1000 shots), the turrets cracked due to shells falling, the engines stalled due to heat, spare parts had expired storage periods, etc. There was nothing left to smell of scandal and there was no way for Leonid Danilovich how to urgently fly to Moscow. Russia saved the Pakistan contract. Tacit consent was given for the supply by some Russian enterprises of nodes for Ukrainian tanks. How much we have earned from this agreement, and how many neighbors - history is silent
      And here is a new round. With the same nuances

          About engines it’s a race. Pakistan wanted to take China to tanks of its production, but after the test I bought proven engines in Ukraine. From the assembly line or from the storage base, I do not know these engines.

          About the tower there is such a thing. Maybe they didn’t crack, but they were of poor quality. All armor was poured in the Russian Federation and Ukraine at that time could not master the technology.

          The hulls were old. since the USSR.

          On the gun. It holds 1000 shots. Ukraine decided to establish production in Sumy, but they turned out of such poor quality that production was closed. Nobody went to Bor, and the guns were taken from the NZ plant, which they had stocked during the USSR.

          It turns out that in addition to the engines, everything was assembled from Soviet spare parts. That is why Oplot cannot be put into production.

      Yes, it’s not even a matter of the country's development.
      For 20 years of the collapse, Ukraine cannot renew the technologies that it possessed, there are no such capacities, there is no such personnel, but the desire to make money on the Soviet tank brand remains.
      So they’re boiling hulls of armor in the frozen workshops, and getting into the tropical climate they give cracks, as with the famous BTR-4E

        Iraq was also burned:

        BTR-4 vehicles were supplied under a contract between Ukrspetsexport and Iraq, which was concluded in 2009. This operation was called the largest in the history of independent Ukraine. In addition to the 420 armored personnel carrier, Ukraine pledged to supply Iraq with tanks and aircraft totaling $ 2,4 billion.

        However, problems with the contract began due to disruption of supplies of the first delivery of 26 combat vehicles sent by the Iraqi Ministry of Defense almost half a year late. The second batch of armored personnel carriers in the amount of 62 units was delivered to the customer a year and a half later - in November of 2012.

        Not only the Ukrainian side is guilty of the failure, but the Iraqi side. Specialists from Iraq did not come for testing, and then completely asked to postpone the acceptance of the BTR-4 to a later date. The first combined batch (26 machines) was accepted only in March 2011 of the year and April 20 was sent to Iraq. In early May of the 2012, the Iraqis began to accept the 2 batch of the 62 armored personnel carrier. Until the end of the year, it was planned to transfer to the customer the 3 batch of BTR-4 - 94 armored personnel carriers.

        By the beginning of the 2013 year, Iraq under this contract received only 88 armored personnel carriers (in two batches, 26 were shipped in April 2011 of the year and 62 in October 2012 of the year). The last batch of 42 vehicles that the SE Pacifica ship (Singapore flag, owned by White Whale Shipping) delivered to Umm Qasr port in the spring of 2013 was rejected. the receiving side showed cracks in the body of the APC (defects were discovered on the machines of the second batch, delivered in October 2012 of the year) and flatly refused to unload the APC ashore. The ship had to anchor in the middle of the Persian Gulf. Also, instead of the Ukrainian BTR-4, Iraq decided to acquire the Russian BTR-82.

                  After obtaining a export permit in 2005, several cars were sold to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. In the process of operation, a number of rather serious defects were revealed in the machines, which served as a reason for refusing to purchase an already manufactured batch of cars (cardan breakage, spring breakage, several cars have cracks in the armored plates).

                    Welding technology and its violation - would "go" along the seam

                    It didn't work, it's not about the welding itself, but about the stresses of the metal created during welding. In confirmation of my words, I will give an example that only "winter hulls" crackle
                    the probable cause of cracks is an unacceptably high level of welding stresses, due to both the absence of thermal tempering after welding and the inappropriate welding mode - if cooked in a cold shop, and, moreover, in drafts, the weld will cool much faster than it should be, resulting in metal thermal stresses will occur.
                    On the good side - after welding, the casing should be placed in a special chamber with a high temperature (200–300 degrees that way) and cool down slowly in it. But - this requires additional costs, primarily because of gas costs. As a result, KHKBM agreed with Hirschfeld that it would do so, maybe they would not fall apart. But in the f-tion KHKBM includes author's support of the pr-va. The most likely reason is the desire to save money, it is possible that due to the vacation, the production of buildings could be unprofitable for LKMZ. A characteristic detail is the “cracking” of the hulls cooked in the winter, in cold shops, and the summer ones are not subject to this. Drowning in workshops also requires gas, which at current prices also flies into an intricate penny.
                    Summary - problems with hulls are largely due to high gas prices and / or the greed of those responsible for the choice of hull technologies. Perhaps these very persons have extenuating circumstances - if everything is done "according to the mind" - the production of buildings may turn out to be unprofitable.

                        And as for the camera, it is simply impossible to weld the body for the time so that the seams do not have time to cool down and place in the chamber. Such a welding technology on such large details will not even be considered by anyone initially. I believe that we ourselves launched the version with violation of the thermal regime of welding, because if we admit that the steel is not suitable then this is another story here, respectively, and less resistance to breakdown of armor, etc. . etc.

          Moreover, the new industry of the Ukrainian defense industry, despite its youth (as well as the armored production of Ukraine as a whole), turned out to be quite promising and creative in its development areas. This is confirmed by the development of the 55L Bagira tank gun for the promising 140-mm caliber. And if in the West and in Russia there is only talk about guns of this caliber, then in Ukraine it is already undergoing tests, and by the beginning of 2013 it was actually brought to the installation stage, both on promising and existing main battle tanks. Mostly due to the fact that the breech of the new gun is made in the size of existing systems of caliber 120 mm and 125 mm. From practical and export points of view, this is what distinguishes the new Ukrainian tank gun from similar-caliber systems currently being developed in other leading "tank" countries [7].

          Brought to the installation stage ... So where are the Ukrainian tanks with this most powerful cannon in the world? The question is rhetorical ...

            Moreover, everything is much sadder here: after all, this very "bagira" is just a Ukrainian "adaptation" of the Swiss 140 mm cannon (which, by the way, was put on the Leopard-2 at one time, but unsuccessfully), that is, these bastards were produced in Switzerland , and the Ukrainians, in essence, tried to simply add them to the old Soviet "teshki". So it's just ridiculous to talk about some kind of "superiority" of the Ukrainians in the production of such weapons - ours, in the early 2000s, already had 2A83 - 152 mm (for Object 195), and the Americans and Euriks were putting 140 mm bandura on abrashi leo, so the Ukrainians with their 2013 are 10 years behind the world level)))))

      I am surprised to agree that the minimum cost-effective speed of production of a tank is a dozen per month. Otherwise, there will be nothing to pay the workers. Moreover, with such productivity, their salaries will simply be miserable - you will earn much more on the delivery of bottles. And the production of the tank requires the presence of workers of very different specialties.
      Delivered 10 cars - what was collected from the remnants of the backlog left over from Soviet times. There are no more hulls and towers, it is absolutely unrealistic to restore production with money from their sale (I’m about a dozen tanks). The whole amount of the contract paid in advance would not be enough for this (which, of course, no one does). The contract was concluded in other realities.

And now the leadership of Ukraine is not the body that cares about the welfare of each "member" of the population. Princip, don't open your mouth in a big family. Whoever is in power ate it.

    It’s already a year of delay, and the obligations are fulfilled by one fifth. Which tanks were shipped in 2015 - this still needs to be checked - are they capable of moving independently; otherwise they would not be returned.

    What can I say?

    Objective reality: "Defense industry liquidated de facto; soon even the repair of Soviet technology will become impossible (because they are repairing by understaffing the reserve); APU acquires features of a gang of beggars, looters and extortionists"

      It’s actually funnier. In Ukraine (like ours), foreign contracts for the supply of arms are not concluded by manufacturers, but by government agencies, which the Malyshev plant is now paying forfeits for disrupting supplies to Thailand ...

      It has long been clear that Ukraine is bankrupt and the fact that Thailand "contacted" it most likely happened under pressure from the United States, which wanted to thank Kiev for its position during the 08.08.2008 conflict and the participation of the Ukrainian military in a coalition with Washington during the "Iraqi campaign". Hence, apparently, the pressure on Baghdad in order to purchase an armored personnel carrier in Ukraine.
      And if the contract for the supply of tanks to Pakistan, Ukraine and pitch is fulfilled since not so much time has passed since the "destruction" of the USSR and its factories and design bureaus were, so to speak, in the "very juice", then the independent supply of even such a scanty amount as 49 vehicles in today's conditions she is unlikely to master.

    This is a modernized T-64B, but in the Ukrainian version. I don't know what is there at the Malyshev plant, but let's say large-diameter gear wheels for gearboxes, they ordered from Motor Sich. I dare to assure you that the defense industry (like the rest) in Ukraine is in complete collapse. I already described this situation two months ago.

    Oh don't tell me! As a welder with 27 years of experience, I declare to you that this is somewhat different. Have you ever heard of preheating to a certain temperature before welding (depending on the ambient temperature and the metal itself)? And I can say that I do this every day. Although it is necessary to cook not armored steel, but simply high-strength steel.

    Well, about Ukrainian tanks ...
    After all, Ukraine has not been punished severely for the failure of contracts or obligations?
    Therefore, she creates such garbage. And besides, back in 2013 year
    it was clear to everyone that she was under the cover of Russia.
    Which was taken to solve part of her problems.
    Well, apparently now, out of habit, they do not press on Ukraine in terms of implementing the agreements.
    But apparently they will conclude contracts with her less and less reluctantly.
