“Recently I “tested” the Ukrainian tank “Oplot”, which we plan to order for our troops. Today we are talking about Ukrainian all-terrain vehicle “Bogun”. I am delighted! (…),” Reznikov wrote on Facebook on Friday.
The head of the Ministry of Defense said that two such all-terrain vehicles are already fighting in different units.
“For example, specially for paratroopers, assault troops made “Bogun” type “convertible”, where they removed the cabin as such, instead equipping seats for personnel, making it a troop car,” – said Reznikov.
The minister said that other units are currently testing vehicles and installing various types of weapons for use in military operations.
“There is even a version of a medical wrecker. Moreover, there are already applications from individual commanders,” Reznikov wrote.
He also stressed that quality weapons and equipment are important to keep people alive and healthy.
“Our partners help us and will be with us until victory. But the development of the national MIC (military-industrial complex – IF-U) is one of the priorities for us,” the minister said.
“It’s not just about today. We are fighting for independence, for our freedom, which, especially with such a neighbor, is impossible without a strong defense capability. And the independence of the military-industrial complex, in fact, is one of the factors of the defense capability of the country. We continue working on it in the future,” concluded Reznikov.
