Defense Express: Russia will try to sell India BMP "Boomerang", which started to smoke after the Parade

February 3 2021 14

From February 3 to 5, an international air show and exhibition Aero India 2021 will be held near the Indian city of Bangalore. During this event, the Russian state corporation Rostec will present an export version of the Boomerang wheeled infantry fighting vehicle with the aim of concluding an agreement on the sale of BMPs to the Indian military.

According to Alexander Mikheev, General Director of Rosoboronexport, the countries of Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the CIS have already shown interest in Boomerang, and Russia can earn about a billion dollars on sales of a combat vehicle.

However, according to Defense Express, this technique has not yet passed state tests - they are planned to be held this spring.

Thus, the BMP "Boomerang" has not yet been adopted by the Russian army. And, as the Ukrainian newspaper writes, so far the only episode of the "victory" involving this armored vehicle is a case of smoke and breakage that occurred after the Parade on June 25, 2020 in Moscow. An infantry fighting vehicle walking down the street suddenly began to smoke and stopped moving.

Against this background, another looks very funny. news on the Defense Express pages. "Ukroboronprom" signed a contract with the Malyshev Kharkov Plant for the construction of ... one "Oplot" tank. According to media reports, the combat vehicle should be ready for the parade on August 24, 2021 (Independence Day of Ukraine), then it will be used at international exhibitions. The publication clarifies that the construction of one unit of the "Oplot" will take 7-8 months and will cost from 3,5 to 5 million dollars.

One AN in 10 years is an exhibition sample. One tank per year is an exhibition sample. The opinion of Ukrainians is, of course, "very interesting"

      slaves. you can mold anything from them. come up with a tax on the war with Russia and the slaves will go to hand over it - will it take 5 years to hand over? will take 5 years. Need more? Slaves will surrender
      
      I can enumerate in such a way that it is possible to mold from slaves. They can even raise the cost of housing and communal services by 1000% and the tribe grabs it)
      
      A Jew to be appointed president, because there is a shortage of quality material among local rogues. Put the clown in charge of the menagerie? Easy, look. The slaves ate.
      
      Vaccine? Medicine? Graft? What for? Slaves can do without her. Africa will take root before these slaves.
      
      It is easy to put Biden at the president's table, to remove the prosecutor at the shout of a clown from the US Embassy. Sovereignty? What? What sovereignty the slaves have. Slaves do what they are told. For this they get a bowl of soup.
      
      You can even walk around Kiev under fascist banners, the slaves are eating) and the president is a Jew too.

      How wonderful it is? I mean, not all Iranian missiles explode right at the start? Great achievement!
      And the Persians' prospects are the most sour - they are butting with Israel anyway like shoving a saber on a tank.
      And in general, the word ENRICH via А written, to send you an ABC book as humanitarian aid?

        Even if one of a dozen rackets with a vigorous loaf arrives to you, it's already great.). And Iran has more of them.
        And the chances are getting higher and higher. Have you already dug your own bunker?)

There would be a real zapadlo, if ON the parade it smoked and became. And so it's just a minor nuisance. You never know where AFTER the parades it breaks and smokes. there were no events: the carbines were dropped, and the heels flew off, and the caps flew off, etc. But at the parade itself everything went fine. The only thing, of course, is that everything is much more modest here and there was not such a massive circulation, .d. movement in parades.
