Grenades for every taste. How many explosives got to the Black Market after the war in Ukraine

The death of the Assistant Commander of the Armed Forces Gennady Podtyakov makes one think about the problem of weapons and explosives in the country. After all, you can not simply give grenades, they are issued and written off strictly according to documents. The focus found out what volumes of ammunition were sold illegally. The assistant to the Armed Forces Commander Gennady Podtyakov could present a "deadly gift" for his birthday.

According to one version, his colleague by the name Timchenko put in a wooden box with a bottle of whiskey "Black Label" six grenades to surprise the colleague. Pestyakov returned home from work, got a box and showed his son a grenade of the Western sample, police say. It is likely that the fans could give offensive and defensive grenades DM51/DM51A2. The explosion of such ammunition carries the fragments within a radius of up to 10 meters.

After the tragedy, the apartment of the deceased and the office of the one who lifted such a gift was searched. The latter seized two more similar grenades. Predtyakov knew that he was given battle grenades, the Ministry of Internal Affairs spokeswoman Marian Reva said. "Obviously, he did not take these words seriously, so we have such a terrible tragedy . . . We can say that it was an accident, a careless handling of ammunition," she said.

Pomegranates, explosives, plastids and TNT checkers are correctly considered as weapons, but explosives or ammunition. The explosive has never been and will not be open, says the head of the weapons owners Georgy Uzkin. "The volume of explosives in the black market cannot be imagined, especially to calculate. It is exactly about six -digit figures. Explosives do not" glow "now , - explains the specialist.

German grenades, donated to the assistant of the Zaluzhny, deficient and should be stored in military warehouses. Unaikin did not reply if they could get into the black market before. "In any case, you need to prepare for the influx of illegal weapons and explosives from the zones of hostilities. Trophies of grenade launchers, machine guns, tanks, and you talk about grenades . . . Such is the reality of war," he notes.

When it comes to unaccounted weapons and explosives, it is not necessary to seize and steal military warehouses. After the de -occupation of the Sumy region, thousands of bodies of Russian soldiers were found in the fields, and in their pockets and near them there was a different weapon, gave an example a military expert Pavlo Narozhny. Unaccounted weapons, explosives, cartridges and other ammunition in Ukraine, according to it, an incredible number.

"In artillery there is a standard: about 2-3% of shells do not break, but fall to the ground. In one ammunition from 6 to 15 kilograms of explosives. We take the average figure They did not break, lie somewhere. I am not talking about the mines, " - explains the expert of the focus. Any grenades, including gifted German DM51/DM51A2, must be taken into account in warehouses. Pomegranate is issued and written off by specific information, they cannot be transmitted simply.

The transmission of ammunition as a gift is considered to be the illegal circulation of explosives, he summed up. We will remind, in August this year the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine recognized an increase in the number of firearms in citizens through war. National Police and State Border Guard workers find illegal weapons quite often. The focus previously wrote about the transfer of Ukraine confiscated in the United States. Miami police sent 101 units of fire to Kiev.
