This is a rather serious post, but first...
(turn on the "boy with toys" mode) Everything there is so cool! There are such dir-dir-dir machines, there are such mimic machines, there are screwdrivers and wrenches, there are taps, welders and special cabinets!
Equipment is breaking down. It breaks down both in the rear and at the front. It breaks down even when it is new, and how it breaks down when the equipment is many years old - well, it's not for me to explain to you. And it needs to be repaired. We need to do it quickly, here and now, near the battlefield. Weld what has broken, grind out what is needed, unscrew and screw it, and then tighten everything with blue duct tape.
Excuse me, but can we also say that the long list of things the Ministry of Defense does not buy now (yes, there may be 100,000 reasons for this) includes all the wrenches, machines and tools, tools and components? And can we say that 70 percent of the needs are covered by the repairmen themselves from their salaries, and the rest is brought by volunteers?
So far - 10. So far, we want to make 10 battalion mobile repair shops.
1️⃣ For two months, we slowly bought all the components of the system, ordered the manufacture of special furniture, and waited for the delivery of specific tools. We spent 2,487,725 hryvnias on this, half of which, as usual, was paid by Poroshenko. The accounts are fully closed, and the goods have been fully received.
2️⃣ For these workshops, we prepared 10 DAF 45.150 trucks - we bought, delivered, repaired, and re-tired the wheels. It cost 5308750 hryvnias, and again Poroshenko paid half of it.
3️⃣ We have signed a contract for the production of 10 kiosks on a turnkey basis - we have already handed over the machines, approved the design documentation, and are receiving the finished kung fu box. The contract is worth UAH 2,985,000 for 10 machines, which means that we need to raise and pay a little less than a million and a half.
The sooner we pay, the sooner we receive, the sooner we deliver... And all the deputies of the brigades we know are in the "boy with toys" mode now - they ask, they beg, they remind. We need to raise one and a half million hryvnias.
