The real needs of the Armed forces will be underfunded by 50 per cent?
The real needs of the Ministry of Defense
The main problem areas of the Armed Forces today:
- guaranteeing competitive salaries for military personnel;
- provision of housing for military personnel;
- the need for rearmament;
- the need for the formation of emergency stocks;
- completion of the programme for the survivability and fire-explosion safety of arsenals (ammunition depots).
The formation of emergency stocks
Military property of emergency stocks is military property which is intended for use in the special period and during peace-time is on long-term storage in military units.
Formation/updating of emergency stocks – 36 billion UAH
Programme for survivability and fire-explosion safety of arsenals
Completing the implementation of the programme for survivability and fire-explosion safety of arsenals (ammunition depots) – 12 billion UAH
Provision of housing for military personnel
The mere construction of modular towns – 100 billion UAH.
Rearmament
The main problem areas in the Armed Forces connected with providing weapons and equipment are air defense, combat aviation, and the navy.
Only 20-30% of aircraft is in the serviceable condition today. Ukraine is not producing missile systems capable of providing air defense yet.
From the total amount of needs of General Staff for 2020 (about 220 billion UAH), the weapons should be 40%, that is 80-90 billion UAH.
