1,500 motorcycles have been procured for the Ukrainian Armed Forces – Fedorov
Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced this on Telegram.
According to the head of the Ministry of Defence, this is three times more than in the whole of last year. The entire consignment of vehicles will be delivered to the military later this year.
“Mobility on the front line directly affects the speed at which combat missions are carried out and the safety of military personnel.
Motorcycles remain one of the most sought-after vehicles on the front line, alongside pick-up trucks. They provide the military with high mobility and help them carry out tasks quickly in conditions of complex logistics and rough terrain,” explained Fedorov.
Six companies took part in the motorcycle procurement. We managed to save almost 12 million hryvnias, which will be directed towards additional support for the troops, in particular the procurement of other necessary transport.
“We followed the same principle for the largest procurement of 155mm long-range artillery rounds. Competition between the bidders enabled us to secure better terms for the state and further strengthen the supply of equipment to the troops.
The aim is to gradually transition to tender procedures for all defence procurement,” he added.
