Presumably the program "Saiga", the purpose of which is to replace military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, associated with corruption. Therefore, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are ready to curtail the program of replacing the fleet of army UAZs and a motley company of civilian SUVs., in different ways got into the ranks of the Ukrainian army with 2014 of the year.
This was written by the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksandr Nosov on Facebook.
"Saiga" will not be
– says in his post.
The Saiga program will soon be stopped by the decision of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
Nosov considers wrong, that instead of purchasing mass-produced off-road vehicles and organizing their maintenance, the military department offers to refine the models, taking into account the requirements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (he calls this process "good"). At the same time, the cost of cars will increase by about 30 percent, not even speaking about, that the reconstruction will violate the integrity of the body and make the design of the car less reliable and stable. Deputy Minister demands to understand, who came up with this idea, calling it "clearly corrupt".
In August, the Ukrainian Military Portal wrote, that instead of UAZ cars, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive Japanese SUVs Toyota Hilux, modernized by the company "Ukrainian armored vehicles" taking into account the requirements of the military. But, looks like, for the Armed Forces of Ukraine there is still no alternative to the Soviet automobile industry – at least for that reason., that no one in Ukraine is ready to produce hundreds of SUVs at a relatively low price. There is no longer even an appropriate base and opportunities.
