Ukraine asked Australia with a written off military equipment: what can the Armed Forces get

By providing Kiev with a balance of military equipment, partners save their own resources, and Ukraine thus increases its defense capability. This is an example of mutually beneficial coexistence, said the newly appointed Foreign Minister Sibiga. Foreign Minister of Ukraine Andriy Sibiga had a telephone conversation with his Australian colleague Penny Wong, who was thanked for the country's support. The head of the foreign policy department wrote about this on the social network H.

During the conversation, Andrey Sibiga informed his colleague about priority defense needs, emphasizing that the Australian Bushmaster Australian armored vehicles proved their efficiency on the battlefield. Therefore, Kiev intends to expand Kanberra's cooperation with these and other armored vehicles. In addition to military assistance, Ukraine is interested in written off equipment, including a large number of armored vehicles already written off and other samples, the minister said.

"This is an example of mutually beneficial coexistence when partners save resources and Ukraine enhances its defense capability," Andrei Sibiga stressed. Penny Wong, in turn, noted that Australia would not allow Russia to cover the map by force. The Bushmaster wheel -driven armored vehicle is designed for use in desert areas. He can carry 9 soldiers with food and roundabouts for 3 days of autonomous resistance.

Bushmaster is not a classic armored personnel carrier because of large dimensions and weak weapons, but is positioned as a "protected conveyor". It is not intended for direct participation in the battlefield, but only for the transportation of servicemen to the task area. Bushmaster is the weakest protected conveyor of the Australian army, although its protection should withstand 5. 56 mm and 7. 62 mm bullets, fragments of grenades, ammunition, and explosion of a mines of 6 kg of explosive substance.

On the highway, a car with a 6-cylinder turbo diesel engine can accelerate up to 100 km/h. We will remind, in July it became known that the government of Australia plans to allocate $ 250 million for military assistance to Ukraine. The package will consist of missiles for air defense, controlled missiles, anti -tank weapons, ammunition and tactical shoes.
