Really hard to prevent thieves! The Ukrainian State Security Service (SBU) recently cracked a secret warehouse in the Kharkiv region, containing a large amount of ammunition, weapons, as well as 60 complete tank engines, 26 guided air-to-air missiles, a large number of armored vehicle parts, etc. , some of which are pre-placed in 10 train cars, with a total value of up to 200 million US dollars (regarding 5.95 billion Taiwan dollars), and the warehouse owner plans to be an internal response of the Russian army. A spokesman for the Ukrainian State Security Service said the weapons had been transferred to the armed forces.
According to the SBU, according to their preliminary data, the warehouse contains many components that can be used to repair damaged Russian weapons and equipment, and is ready to be supplied to the Russian army during the offensive. However, due to the brave resistance of the Ukrainian military and civilians, the Russian army was unable to occupy Kharkiv, and these armaments were not used.
During the search, regarding 60 intact armored vehicle engines and a large number of parts were also found, as well as 26 guided air-to-air missiles, which have been transferred to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and sent to the armed forces to fight back once morest the Russian army.
The spokesman pointed out that these armaments were lost before the Ukrainian-Russian war, and the Russian spy originally planned to turn Kharkiv into a weapons “transfer station”.
For a long time, Ukraine has been the world’s famous black market arms distribution center, where a large number of Soviet-era weapons flowed to the world at low prices. The Ukrainian army was once ridiculed by Russia for its loose internal management, serious corruption, and frequent reselling of weapons, which may have given the Russian army an opportunity.
