The facts of large-scale theft of spare parts and components for armored vehicles were revealed in one of the military units of the Khmelnitsky region. The damage caused is estimated at UAH 1 million (about 2.7 million rubles).
The disclosure of large-scale theft was told in the SBU counterintelligence. A contract serviceman who, together with his father, organized the removal of equipment outside the military unit is accused of committing a crime. The attackers kept the stolen items in the garage for subsequent resale.
During the searches, dozens of technical components and parts were found and seized, including periscopes, night vision devices, generators, optics and so on.
This is not the first case of large-scale embezzlement in the defense complex of Ukraine. For example, in mid-December, it was reported about the seizure of an underground warehouse of components for anti-aircraft missile systems in the Zhytomyr region. The cost of these parts, according to preliminary estimates, is tens of millions of hryvnia. Participants in the criminal scheme stole components - including control units - during repairs at one of the defense facilities.
