Shoigu Serdyukov abandoned plans for the purchase of armored vehicles Iveco

Commander of Land Forces, Colonel-General Vladimir Chirkin said yesterday that the Ministry of Defence collapses cooperation with Italy's Defence Vehicles, which produces armored vehicles Iveco LMV M65. To avoid penalties,
the first contract for 1775 units will be completed,
but the plans for the purchase of additional 1275 military armored vehicles refuse. When Anatoly Serdyukov Italian cars were considered the best in its class, but now the emphasis will be placed on the purchase of products of domestic military-industrial complex.





The contract, worth more than $ 1, 5 billion in 1775 for the assembly of vehicles LMV M65 was concluded in 2011. In September 2012, former Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said about a possible increase in purchases of up to 3 thousand. Machines and even, according to the source "b" in the Defense Ministry, sent a request to the government with a proposal to increase the volume of purchases of light armored vehicles.

At the time of contracting the Italian armored cars won the competition for the Russian analogue of "Lynx", which produces the company "Russian Machines". According to the source "b" in the Defense Ministry, the trials were identified benefits in the form of better mine protection, protection of the crew. Choosing the Italian armored Russian buyers appealed to the experience of fighting in Iraq. But now the military say that the Russian and Italian machines tested under different conditions: foreign models to be displayed at the landfill in dry weather, Russian armored vehicles - in bad weather.

"Having got fifteen hundred armored vehicles Iveco, the agency has suspended a contract for the purchase of their future. The more we buy them we will not "- said Mr. Chirkin, explaining that the families" Bear "," Tiger "and" Wolf "will create a lightly armored vehicles, which can be installed fighting module.

In fact, the purchase of the Italian armored cars for some time will continue. At the moment, the Ministry of Defense has received 67 cars assembled from kits at the site of the Italian "Oboronservis" in Voronezh (including the first batch of ten cars that were collected and tested with the participation of engineers Kamaz). Total Iveco in 2012-2013 was to supply 358 armored vehicles. And the whole contract was designed before 2015

It was planned that on-controlled "Oboronservis" 172nd TsARZe by 2015 will be achieved complete localization of the machine frame. However, in December, Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said that since 2013 armored vehicles Iveco LMV M65 will gather at Kamaz. According to the source "b" close to one of the shareholders, at the end of last year, shareholders of KAMAZ (49, 9% of the shares owned by the state corporation "Rostec") recommended that the management of the enterprise to bring the production of armored vehicles in a separate legal entity: it would greatly simplify the interaction with the Italians < br />
"Termination of the Ministry of Defense of the contract will result in severe penalties," - says the source "b" familiar with the details of agreements with the Italian side. That is why, according to "Kommersant", the military intend to perform the first contract for armored vehicles in 1775 in full: it will avoid paying a fine.

Yesterday Vladimir Chirkin said the Russian military would not buy and Italian tanks wheeled Centauro, which are now being tested on the ground in Kubinka. "It was all started by the former Ministry of Defense, and we, you know, to keep the brand a good customer, in fact comply with the terms of the contract, - said Commander .-- I think we will have to abandon the cultural." According to "Kommersant", the military are seriously considering the possibility of introducing tanks in wheelbase to the troops: it will achieve savings, since the cost of its operation is much less than tracked counterparts (primarily due to more resources and less fuel consumption). "In this regard, we are now closely at the possibilities of Russian enterprises", - said the source "b".

"Purchase of armored vehicles Iveco par with the helicopter carrier Mistral was one of the most odious decisions times Anatoly Serdyukov, - says expert at the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, Konstantin Makiyenko - it has purchased the number of Italian armored vehicles is more than enough for the armed forces."
