Ministry of Defense sale of military equipment. Purchasing military vehicles from conservation

The share of military expenditures in the economy of our country has always constituted an impressive part of the budget. A lot of things were done for the defense industry and they were of good quality. Some of the material resources were used for their intended purpose, some were sent to warehouses to be stored in case of war. The highest level of preservation is achieved by the so-called preserved military equipment or property of the first category of security. Conservation is not just storage, but also maintaining property in full working order, constant monitoring and maintenance.

Over the years, the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense have been filled with old-style military ammunition, equipment, spare parts, fuels and lubricants. Every year, more and more new weapons come into service, and the old ones lose their relevance. The sale of preserved military equipment occurs through auctions. Due to the large number of structures in the Ministry of Defense system, these auctions are very different:

At all auctions for the sale of military property, 90% of the lots are of the same type:

  • Trucks ZIL – 131
  • Trucks Ural - 4320 and GAZ - 66
  • Passenger cars UAZ – 469
  • Tankers
  • Camp kitchens
  • Thermoses
  • Canvas boots, chrome boots
  • Padded jackets, jackets, tunics, caps
  • Trousers
  • Spare parts
  • Scrap of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
  • Diesel fuel and various fuels and lubricants
  • Very rarely there are trains, planes, helicopters, boats

In more than half of the cases, the technology being implemented belongs to the fifth category, i.e. has expired its resource. Sales of mothballed vehicles are held as exceptions and attract many people who want to purchase them. On average, prices for a preserved UAZ 469 start at 50 thousand, during bidding they reach 120 - 170 thousand. It should also be taken into account that some military vehicles are sold without a title, which entails additional costs when registering.

You can also purchase military equipment through intermediary companies. In this case, the cost increases by a third. At the same time, you can try to start the car, see what documents are available, and complete the purchase in one day.

Sometimes, the enemy hides among his own. Thus, after an inspection by the military prosecutor's office of auctions of the Ministry of Defense, a number of serious violations were identified. All the criminal schemes that the department’s employees had been honing over the years were uncovered.

Let us clarify that we are talking about auctions for the one-time sale of released military property. That is, we are talking about a huge number of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. At the same time, in each lot, under the guise of scrap, they presumably tried to sell either usable property, or ammunition, or both at the same time.

It turns out that for their own benefit, some department employees destroyed it. So who is the initiator of such lawlessness among the military?

Some conclusions can be drawn based on numerous checks by the Main Military Prosecutor's Office. At the moment, the main character of all the schemes and fraud is the head of the sales department of the Western Military District, Nikolai Vyalov, who, apparently, is preparing, in accordance with his official duties, the documents necessary for the sale of military property. According to the prosecutor's office, it was Mr. Vyalov who organized secret auctions to make money on the department's property.

But the potential buyers at these auctions were fly-by-night companies that, of course, didn’t even have a landline telephone, let alone process non-ferrous metals. We are talking about the company DeltaMet LLC, RegionResurs LLC and Secondary Metals and Alloys LLC. Various trading platforms were used to conduct competitive procedures. Moreover, the activities of this group could not do without “forceful” support. After all, during the audit it turned out that without the support of influential employees of the same military prosecutor’s office, such crimes would have been impossible to hide. However, everything secret someday becomes clear.

It seems that the scope of Mr. Vyalov went beyond the bounds of decency. Apparently, such large-scale financial transactions with a corruption component can no longer go unnoticed. Moreover, fraud of this kind spoils the reputation of the entire department as a whole. Thus, FAS has already shown interest in the activities of the Ministry of Defense and identified violations in the competition for the sale of metal for 792 million rubles. Nothing would have happened if the Inchermet company from the Tver region had not complained to the service. The point is that it was not for nothing that enterprising employees of the Ministry of Defense raised such prices, for 792 million rubles, and with a deposit of 158 million rubles, only the company DeltaMet LLC would have acquired state property.

Presumably, Nikolai Vyalov’s scheme was worked out and each time the events took place according to a pre-planned scenario. Probably, the process was approximately the same: Nikolai Vyalov, according to the procedure, the Ministry of Defense prepared a list of released military property, apparently under the guise of scrap, with the connivance of the commanders of military units, and, possibly, in collusion with them, the list included cars, components and spare parts.

Possibly ammunition too. After this, a large lot was formed, consisting of a large volume of scrap ferrous and non-ferrous metals, distributed throughout the country. Next, the lot was put up for auction on the site with the owners of which an agreement was reached on a controlled holding of the event. At the same time, one or more of the already mentioned companies participated in the auction.

As a result, the sites provided winnings with a minimal difference compared to the starting price. And if problems suddenly arose, the “rear” people from the circle of the former military prosecutor were apparently involved in resolving the situation. Probably all auctions with Vyalov’s participation took place according to this scenario.

The price is affordable for everyone In the fall of 2016, a lot was put up on the trading platform of JSC Russian Auction House, the same one, 792 million rubles. Of the several participants who applied, the company DeltaMet, already known to us, was allowed to participate in the auction, and it received the lot at the starting price.

The fact that this is a lucky accident is, of course, unlikely, because Nikolai Vyalov is a partner of the general director of DeltaMet LLC, Rasim Kurgunaev. Most likely, they are the ones who share the authorized capital in the company Chariot LLC, where a certain Kurnaev has 33%, and a certain Vyalov has 34%. Now let's move on to absolutely honest and serious questions. For what reason, after the prosecutor's investigation, no one identified the main defendants in the criminal case?

After all, the fact of theft of funds has been established. Moreover, it seems that an audit of the write-off of equipment and the sale of scrap metals revealed that, under the guise of scrap, it was apparently Nikolai Vyalov and his comrades who could try to sell vehicles for various purposes. However, this was prevented by the relevant services in the Main Armored Directorate of the Ministry of Defense. As a result of an inspection by the Main Military Prosecutor's Office, relevant violations were revealed.

In June of this year, the Main Military Prosecutor's Office initiated an audit of the Defense Ministry's auctions. The ice, as they say, has broken. The “gray schemes” that some employees had developed over the years came to the surface. First of all, we are talking about auctions for the one-time sale of released military property. In fact, scrap of ferrous and non-ferrous metals is on the agenda. At the same time, in each lot, under the guise of scrap, they presumably tried to sell either usable property, or ammunition, or both at the same time. It turns out that certain employees deliberately destroyed the department from the inside. How can this corruption chaos turn out? And who is behind such large frauds that were so carefully hidden from the leadership of the department?

“The Great Schemer” Nikolai Vyalov

The inspection of the logistics of the Ministry of Defense and the audit conducted by the Main Military Prosecutor's Office allow us to draw certain conclusions. Presumably the key figure in conducting such auctions is the head of the sales department of the Western Military District Nikolay Vyalov, apparently preparing, in accordance with his official duties, the documents necessary for the sale of military property. It was he who allegedly organized these “secret auctions” and viewed each of them through the prism of personal interests. At the same time, commercial participants (or accomplices?) there were several companies that can be called dummies, apparently not even having real offices and the production facilities necessary for processing scrap ferrous and non-ferrous metals - DeltaMet LLC, RegionResurs LLC and Secondary Metals and Alloys LLC. Various trading platforms were used to conduct competitive procedures. Moreover, the activities of this group could not do without “forceful” support. There is an opinion that the “great schemers” are covered with broad backs by gentlemen close to the former chief military prosecutor. Is it really? We can only guess.

However, everything secret someday becomes clear. It seems that the scope Vyalova went beyond the bounds of decency. Apparently, such large-scale financial transactions with a corruption component can no longer go unnoticed. Moreover, fraud of this kind spoils the reputation of the entire department as a whole. Thus, FAS has already shown interest in the activities of the Ministry of Defense and identified violations in the competition for the sale of metal at 792 million rubles.

Nothing would have happened if the Inchermet company from the Tver region had not complained to the service. The fact is that Ministry of Defense officials specially combined all the objects for sale into one lot, with an astronomical price 792 million rubles and a deposit 158 million rubles. Such a price could only be offered by DeltaMet LLC, “which ultimately acquired the property,” the antimonopoly service emphasized.

Possible “gray auction” scenario

I remember an old joke: “Who can tell me what a kickback is? A kickback is the monetary equivalent of gratitude for choosing our company in the tender. What is a tender? The tender is an industry championship in kickbacks.” It seems to me that it’s the same with MO auctions. Everything would be very funny if it weren’t so sad... and so relevant. Presumably, the scheme Nikolai Vyalov was worked out and each time the events took place according to a pre-planned scenario. Probably, the process was approximately the same: Vyalov, according to the procedure of the Ministry of Defense, prepared a list of released military property, apparently under the guise of scrap, with the connivance of the commanders of military units, and, possibly, in collusion with them, the list included cars, components and spare parts . Possibly ammunition too. After this, a large lot was formed, consisting of a large volume of scrap ferrous and non-ferrous metals, distributed throughout the country. Next, the lot was put up for auction on the site with the owners of which an agreement was reached on a controlled holding of the event. At the same time, one or more of the already mentioned companies participated in the auction. As a result, the sites provided winnings with a minimal difference compared to the starting price. And if problems suddenly arose, the “rear” people from the former military prosecutor’s entourage apparently got involved in resolving the situation. Probably all auctions with Vyalov’s participation took place according to this scenario.

Lot at starting price? Easily!

In September last year, one of the department’s auctions was held at the site of Russian Auction House JSC. A lot was formed, the initial price of which was more than 792 million rubles. Of the several participants who applied, the company DeltaMet, already known to us, was allowed to participate in the auction, which received the lot at the starting price. Coincidence? Hardly... In addition, Vyalov, apparently, is also a partner of the general director of DeltaMet LLC Rasima Kurgunaeva. Most likely, they are the ones who share the authorized capital in the company Chariot LLC, where a certain Kurnaev has 33%, and some Vyalov – 34%.

The question arises: why, during the inspection of the Main Military Prosecutor's Office, no identification measures were taken on the main persons involved in the case?

Moreover, it seems that an audit of the write-off of equipment and the sale of scrap metals revealed that, under the guise of scrap, it was apparently Vyalov and his comrades who could try to sell vehicles for various purposes. However, this was prevented by the relevant services in the Main Armored Directorate of the Ministry of Defense. As a result of an inspection by the Main Military Prosecutor's Office, relevant violations were revealed.

And this is not an isolated case. In March of this year, the auction was apparently held at the same site of the Russian Auction House. It seems that a lot of recycling products was formed on it as part of the State Defense Order (disposal of weapons and military equipment), the subject of the lot was scrap of precious, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and 4 companies were allowed to participate in the auction, one of which did not pay the deposit required by the procedure to the appropriate account. By decision of the FAS, the auction was canceled. At the same time, in subsequent legal proceedings, the Russian Auction House, apparently, nevertheless stood up to protect the interests of the potential buyer, and not the customer of the auction - the structures of the Ministry of Defense. Strange, it would seem? Is RAD really involved in the activities of Vyalov and the several companies mentioned above? Collusion? We can only guess and shrug our shoulders. However, it is not clear why Nikolay Vyalov continues to hold the post of head of the implementation department of the Western Military District? The answers to these and other questions based on the results of additional checks should be given by the relevant authorities. Perhaps a “cleansing of the ranks” is just around the corner.

In June, an auction will open on the territory of the Patriot Park for the sale of movable property of the Ministry of Defense that has expired its service life and is no longer suitable for use in the army. In total, 94 lots will be put up for auction with a total of 1,170 units of various military equipment - trucks, railway equipment, diesel power plants, kungs, boats, floating berths, etc. According to the representative of the department, both legal entities and and individuals. In the future, it is planned to hold similar auctions regularly. RBC presents some lots of the first June auction, timed to coincide with the Army 2015 forum.
