In Lithuania, explained why they will not buy military equipment in Ukraine

51
Lithuania refused to buy Ukrainian equipment because of its non-compliance with NATO standards, reports Look with reference to the Minister of Defense of the Republic Juozas Olekas.




“There are our requirements that must be fulfilled both with regard to the protective power of equipment and combat. There are standards that are adopted in NATO countries to operate, to participate in actions jointly. These requirements are consistent with the German technology, which we have chosen. As you know, I was during a previous visit to Ukraine at the Ukrainian plant in Kharkov. I watched the technique. But while we made the decision to buy German equipment ",
said Olekas.

“To those (requirements) that we put forward for the specific purchase in question, it did not meet. We had other requirements. But who knows, in the future, maybe it will correspond, ”the minister added.

That is why “Lithuania is not planning to buy Ukrainian military equipment, and then we will speak in each specific case,” he said.

German self-propelled PzH-2000 howitzers were tested in Lithuania earlier. “Die Welt” then wrote that the Lithuanian military, “concerned about the security of the country because of the proximity of Russian Kaliningrad,” was satisfied with the equipment received.

    Earlier in Lithuania, German PzH-2000 self-propelled howitzers were tested.

    That's it, sprats in all arms

      Howitzers bought, but "consumables" for them apparently do not yet.

        As consumables for howitzers, bought a pair of howitzers. But there was not enough money for ammunition.

      German self-propelled howitzers PzH-2000 were tested in Lithuania. Die Welt then wrote that the Lithuanian military, "worried about the country's security because of the proximity of Russian Kaliningrad,"


      And I kept wondering why these howitzers were to the Balts ... KALININGRAD didn’t intend to shell them ... then it’s clear.

    This is bad luck. American ass licking standards are the same, but no technique.

    Self-propelled howitzers are certainly a panacea for everything ... Naive ..

    No one will buy Ukrainian equipment. for 2 reasons: 1. Everyone will try to support either the domestic producer, or the lobby will say its business, but not in favor of Ukraine. 2. Ukraine does not have modern developments and models of military equipment. Moreover, even the "old" samples do not correspond to the declared quality.

      “..... As you know, I was during my previous visit to Ukraine at the Ukrainian plant in Kharkov. I watched the technique. But for now, we have decided to buy German equipment, ”said Olekas.

      The quality of Ukrainian weapons is a separate issue, but they can throw it, it is quite real.

    What difference does it make what to buy! The Red Army will come - they will hide in the caches again! Let the neighbors stock up on sprats and lard in chocolate in the country "404".

    Now the Balts are armed and dangerous. We are all trembling with fear.
    Suddenly attack the neighbors? Concern needs to be expressed.

    The right decision!
    What does Ukraine produce? What was developed in the USSR. They have no other. Yes and can not be in the near future. Our equipment to NATO standards was not sharpened.
    It would be foolish to count on a different answer. Even if NATO does not buy our modern weapons. Only single samples, in limited quantities, as needed.

    Although there is a prospect for Ukraine! If African countries join the EU and NATO, there will be someone to shove their "wealth" bully

    This is despite the fact that in all kinds of Poland and Romania there Soviet-made equipment is on the move and is still in service. Does it follow NATO standards?
    Most likely the matter is different. Remember the recent tests of new Ukrainian mortars? Where the testers suffered. The technique assembled by ukrozopy craftsmen does not meet any standards.
    Such a zrad ..

    Okay Lithuania bought German cars, they are at least relatively new. But our Latvian warriors bought the 40th armored personnel carrier from the British for rabid grandmothers, drank dough and stupidity with unlimited greed in one bottle!

    The reinforced armament of one country leads to a response on the other hand, that’s all.

    --------------------------
    What is justice? Do the Balts hope to rearm themselves at our level? And who will give them according to the non-proliferation treaties? Why do we need them? We have our own swamps unmeasured.

    Did this Armenian radio say that? Do you read American manuals in the morning? How did we disconnect the Ukrainians? With gas discounts and brotherly electricity? You paint over the strips in the brain.

    Yes, of course, a NATO member is also as "important" as Lithuania will suddenly buy non-NATO equipment - yeah, and 2% of GDP will not go to the US budget or Germany or France, but they made fun)))
