>The Polish company was obliged to supply the Ukrainian MoD with the flak jackets and helmets but failed to do so on time and did not fulfil the order by 100%.
>Meanwhile, the Ukrainian MoD concluded a range of other unfavourable agreements with Alfa, and as of early 2023, the company owed the Ukrainian Defence Ministry over US$94,77 million under various contracts.
[First contract wave]
>Alfa managed to deliver all the bulletproof vests and plates, albeit behind schedule. However, 11,000 of the 16,000 helmets it supplied were instantly returned as unsuitable, and another 5,000 remained in storage, not accepted by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
[Second contract wave]
>As far as the UP has learned, only a tiny amount of the contracted weapons has arrived. Only 1/10th of the D-30 ammunition arrived late, 1/3rd of the Grad missiles, and although all the Gvozdikas came, they were in a condition that does not exactly match the technical class stated in the contract, and the Ukrainian MoD is now trying to get compensation from the supplier.
[Third contract wave]
>About 40% of the ammunition for Giatsint arrived; 120mm mines were delivered less than 1% of the contract, and no ammunition was delivered to Dana at all.
Title changed in post due to lack of info regarding weapons themselves.
Careful, we’ve been warned Russia was going to start pushing a bunch of propaganda just like this
As for delays – this is usually covered by fees you pay for any day of delay. Its regulated by contract.
As for quality – this sucks, and contract should be terminated.
Looks bad, sounds bad, whoever runs the company is overpromising and underdelivering. Contract sohuld be terminated ASAP and funds returned. We need more whistleblowers since each dollar counts.
A defence company over promising and under delivering is not particularly unusual, this dispute will end up in arbitration and the matter will be resolved. These commercial disputes happen all the time the issue of who owes who be resolved in the usual way.
Article throws Ukraine currency and dollars in the mix: Confusing read. A sad thing that such expensive and crucial orders were apparently not viewed by enough eyes but just one man. High treason during war .. a sad thing
