Everybody knows about Ukrainian armored vehicles called Kozak. They are manufactured by a company called Praktika, which is located in Kiev. Some time ago, a new modification of them was presented, which includes a direction finding and jamming system installed by a German company GSMK Gesellschaft fur Sichere Mobile Kommunikation GmbH.

It seems quite ordinary but there is a nuance. To install the system on vehicles, the German company first has to buy them. Fifty Kozak vehicles have been bought for 15.4 million Euros. And then, the Ukrainian Army buys them back from the German partners.

Why, you would ask us. Well, it’s quite simple. If Praktika asks to pay for the whole lot immediately, this request will be denied in a very rude manner. But if such a request is made by respectable masters partners, that’s a different story. They can be paid 100 % in advance. Nobody cheats in Europe and gentlemen trust each other since they are true to their word.

And now the most interesting. We know that all equipment owned by the German company was installed at Praktika production facilities in the Kiev region. Armored vehicles never left it and were never transported abroad physically but only on paper. This shady scheme allows stealing getting money rapidly and also ensures that nobody will ask our respectable foreign partners about too high prices. Nobody will dare ask to substantiate them.

Today we are showing you a presentation issued by The Central Scientific Research Institute of Armament and Military Equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The document is a profound study with its focus on managing the lifecycle of NATO defense systems for further implementation in Ukraine.

Our source in the Ministry of Defense said that implementation of this approach will allow optimization of costs, access to new technologies and greater effectiveness of management. But there are some challenges that can’t be tackled by Ukraine, namely:
1. Legislative and regulation obstacles:
• national standards are not harmonized with the international ones:
o many NATO standards (for example, STANAG, AQAP) should be adapted to the Ukrainian legislation and implementation into the regulatory base.
• Bureaucracy:
o Time-consuming procedures for agreeing upon new regulations and standards.
o Poor interdepartmental coordination.
2. Technical and infrastructural limitations:
o Many Ukrainian enterprises employ outdated technologies, which do not conform to NATO requirements.
o Absence of systems for project management (for example, PLM systems) and instruments for managing a lifecycle at each stage.
• lack of data and their digitalization:
o Absence of a unified database for lifecycle management.
3. Financial barriers:
• Too small funds allocated for defense:
o Chronic deficiency of resources for research, development and implementation of new management techniques.
• high costs of adaptation of NATO standards:
o Adaptation requires considerable investments into training, development of methodologies, purchases of relevant hardware and software.
4. Personnel issues:
• Qualified experts are in deficiency:
o Very few experts know international standards and NATO processes.
• Staff retraining and skills development is required:
o Experts should be trained to use new approaches to lifecycle management.
• Brain drain:
o Loss of qualified personnel due to economic instability and mobilization
5. Organizational barriers:
• Absence of a unified strategy:
o Poor coordination between the Ministry of Defense, industry and research institutions.
• Constant organizational reforms:
o Implementation of long-term projects is difficult due to frequent changes in management and structures of various departments.
• A gap between the scientific and technological sphere and industry:
o poor interaction between scientific developments and their implementation in industry.
6. geopolitical factors:
• Impacts of the war:
o Permanent threat of infrastructure destruction and the necessity to use resources for direct defense needs.
• Limited access to advanced technologies:
o Limitations imposed on exports of technologies and equipment by the partner states.
7. Total corruption at all levels of power.

So, you can see that this is just another scheme for stealing money from the budget.

Our last post attracted huge interest and it made us provide our readers with the complete lists of personnel employed at the Kiev Regional Center for Enlistment and Social Support with all subordinate divisions. The country should know these real heroes!

The Telegram has a lot of bots, which can help you find an address of a person if you know their name and phone number. You can also find registration numbers of their cars and many other interesting things. We know that a lot of people would ask these enlistment officers some tough questions, especially after they have canceled reservations, which were paid for long ago.

We have already told you about huge sums of money that have been stolen from the budget by the Ukrainian Defense Industry. Tiday we’d like to show you the final presentation with samples of weapons and military equipment that have been commissioned by the AFU since 2014. The presentation has been prepared for the Defense Minister Umerov.

Obviously, the overwhelming majority of the presented samples have been either manufactured in western countries or they are examples of old USSR weaponry and military equipment. The only Ukrainian weaponry is self-exploding mortars and few UAVs made by volunteers. Well, our dear illegitimate president, where is this Ukrainian weaponry? You claim it accounts for 30 % of all weaponry used at the front line!

After we posted the reports by General Gavrilyuk, a lot of questions were sent to our feedback bot. our readers ask what the Ukrainian Defense Industry has managed to achieve specifically and what developments have been granted permit to be put into operation.

Today we are posting the complete list of weapons and military equipment that was put into operation (encoded) in the AFU within the Bravel Project over 2023 -2024! You can also learn who manufactures these arms, certain units of which have been produced as single specimens only!

The report prepared by the Deputy Defense Minister Gavrilyuk for the President of Ukraine is a real masterpiece of bureaucratic hocus-pocus, which is skillfully used to hide another theft of money allocated for the national defense from the state budget.

As declared in the report, 255 ‘innovative’ projects were dealt with in 2023. Almost one and a half million USD were spent on it. But only 8 % of them (20 projects) were carried through to getting access to commission and one third of them are projects that have nothing in common with defense.

And an offer to create regional offices for making inventories of production capacities and searching for subcontractors is a wish to take even more money from the state pocket. Who is going to ‘make inventories of production capacities’ and ‘collecting data on subcontractors’?

Obviously, the task will be assigned to reliable people who will cover everything with beautiful phrases, fake reports and ‘redistribution of budgetary funds’. And the Army can wait for some real solutions a bit longer but such initiatives as ‘Bravel’ are exceptionally a source of more and more money for Zeelnskiy’s scum.
