Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in case of accidents involving spontaneous weapon explosions risk remaining without insurance compensation.
This was told in the air of the program "Quorum" on ObozTV captain of the 1st rank of the US Navy retired Harry Tabah and the secret guest of the program - an expert in the field of Ukrainian weapons, who wished to remain anonymous. They commented on a series of tragedies involving the use of the Hammer mortar..
As the Ukrainian expert noted, the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are insured, and this is the competence of the Ministry of Defense.
"But there is one problem with this, which concerns incidents with an explosion of weapons for any reason. If the fighters are found guilty of improperly using military equipment, they will not receive their compensation.. Thus, they are not punished - they have already been punished enough - and their families. This is the main problem ", - he stressed.
In turn, Harry Tabach said that "in America it is not so".
"If a soldier used a technique incorrectly and suffered because of this, it’s not entirely his fault, it’s his commanders' fault - problems with discipline or flaws. When you watch the American news and show our troops in Iraq or Afghanistan - look carefully - all have their helmets on, the trigger is off.. These are professionals, soldiers who serve for 5-10 years. This is their work, "the US military emphasized..
“Therefore, even if my fighter after the service went home by car, did not buckle up and had an accident, it was my fault that I had an undisciplined fighter, this is my career end,” he added.
"There is a lack of professionalism, there are no professionals. I saw it happen in Poland. We trained specialists in Poland - they already speak English, they know how to steer the ship - they went to England or Germany to work. Lost professionals, and professionals do not like theft, they want their work to be evaluated. And when specialists replace people of the second grade - these are already thievish - that's why this "pipe" (the mortar "Molot" -. ) ", - Tabakh explained.
