NATO asks Ukraine to get rid of 2000 tanks

July 13 2013 136

NATO will offer Ukraine to cut into pieces and to melt the old Soviet Tanks T-64, reports “Capital”, referring to the project manager of NSPA (NATO Logistics Support Agency) in Ukraine Vasyl Litvinchuk.

A NATO delegation will arrive in Kiev at the end of July to discuss this issue. The destruction of tanks will be funded by donor countries under the Trust Fund for the NATO Partnership for Peace program.

As you know, Ukraine has already learned how to modernize these tanks in Bulat T-64BM, which is in service with the Ukrainian army. Thus, T-64 can be upgraded and sold abroad or converted into special equipment. The cost of upgrading one tank costs about $ 460 thousand.

According to the Center for Army Studies, Conversion and Disarmament, there are about 2000 units of excess tank equipment in Ukrainian warehouses, which can potentially be disposed of.

The excess property of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is estimated at 9 billion hryvnia (about $ 1,25 billion). Last year, surplus property was sold on 310 million UAH ($ 38,75 million).

Money for the destruction of Ukrainian tanks are ready to give the United States. According to Litvinchuk, the States unofficially confirmed their readiness to allocate $ 1 million for the disposal of Ukrainian military equipment.

The NATO Partnership for Peace Trust Fund project began in 2006. Under the project, it is planned to dispose of 12 thousand tons of ammunition and 133 million units of small weapons and light weapons.

Hi all. Seems like a lot of ado about nothing to me. Firstly, Ukraine is already a different state, and if it decided to completely expose itself for other people’s money, this is exclusively its problem. Thank God, Russia is on a completely different level! It's certainly a shame. that the neighbors are in such a deplorable state, but what can you do, by the way, I never considered Ukraine a respectable neighbor. I don’t understand why Russia shouldn’t agree on the same thing, the money doesn’t seem to be much, but we will need the metal ourselves. I’m certainly not an expert in economic affairs, so don’t judge strictly.

No, I’m amazed, but every problem has a solution...
Well, for example...
An armada of 2000 tanks moved to the West. There was a terrible battle. The Armada was destroyed. Our losses were a cat (remaining in one of the tanks due to an oversight) - report to the General Staff year 2... The enemy was identified and destroyed by other fire weapons. Land drones performed the function of a ram.
For these purposes (surprises from science) they keep old stuff. Well, no one has canceled mobilization either.
1 million Baku, well, it’s funny. Maybe the Russians will chip in for a bribe. I understand that someone needs new houses, we can help the poor. Where will we store them? - Why aren’t there 2000 tankers and their fans in the country?
We need a shed that doesn’t leak and has heating. And the main thing is to hold a competition for the most vicious Russian tankman without front teeth (maybe gold ones). Once a year, this tanker must get drunk in the trash, put on the most shabby sweatshirt and attention!with great love, wipe down your tank, muttering under your breath to Berlin! to Paris! And everything in front of a webcam and beyond YouTube. I think Russia's website can be closed as unnecessary. The Europeans will have such respect for us that it will simply be difficult for them to walk - hindrance from behind will.
I understand that you, as it were, uh.. also need to find a home for your old stuff. And we only know how to get a home for it when it comes to personal benefit... which is sad, however.
By the way, there is a game WOT. Tank action. So young people are obsessed with tanks. And this game has done more than many historical works - well, young people are too lazy to read. So a tank symbol of land power should be in every region. This is also a symbol of pride and patriotism. And if God forbid we get to the axes, we can always start the engine... And on... Yes, anywhere! crush enemies with axes.

Amazing rudeness "The states have unofficially confirmed their readiness to allocate $1 million for the disposal of Ukrainian military equipment."

From the “man, buy a brick” series. It is more profitable to repair and sell a couple of tanks than to take their money. In addition, there is a sad experience of working with Americans at PCP. They needed to cut the missiles, they cut them. And they drove off. There were 5 thousand tons of solid fuel left; over time, its chemistry became unpredictable. If it explodes, it turns out 5KT, a third of Hiroshima. In general, we were left with a headache for our interests.

And I would take the MONEY, and then say that the “GAS” for the autogen has run out, the “NEIGHBORS” are putting up an unrealistic price tag

The United States is ready to give money for the destruction of Ukrainian tanks, and in return, NATO will supply Italian Iveco carts.

It is extremely difficult to say goodbye to the white light.
But if a hero falls, this moment is immortal.
And if death is red - the hero must be sung
And in songs, and in poems, and on the pages of books.

What is the earthly path? - Mirage. Its price is half a pound.
And there is no oblivion and no end to the glory on high.
Well, with God!..” - said the green frog,
She sighed heavily and ate the blacksmith.

Let's say, why does Ukraine pay Russia more for gas than any European country?

In fact of the matter "let's say"... it’s written for you that this amount is for gas. But where does part of this amount go?
And why are you silent about those times when you replenished your (Ukrainian) budget at the expense of another state (all at the expense of the common Russian man)... you didn’t give a damn, you built your budget at the expense of a Russian person. And here you go!

Yes, in fact, your question is inappropriate... ask your government.

The fashion has been to blame Russia for everything. Start with yourself, ask yourself - Have you done everything to prevent Ukraine from separating from Russia, are you working well for the good of your country or are you just smearing your ..... soft and warm on the forum?

Tired of whining on the forum... gas is "expensive"
