Rünnakud laskemoona soetamise tempo aadressil pole õigustatud

Criticism of the pace of ammunition procurement is unfounded

RKIK juht ja kaitseminister ütlevad, et laskemoona soetamine toimub kiiresti ja kriitika selle tempo kohta on põhjendamatu.

The head of RKIK and the Minister of Defence say that the acquisition of ammunition is proceeding quickly and criticism of its pace is unfounded.

Riigi kaitseinvesteeringute keskuse (RKIK) juht Magnus-Valdemar Saar ja kaitseminister Hanno Pevkur ütlevad, et kriitika laskemoona soetamise kiiruse kohta on põhjendamatu. Nad ütlevad, et kiiremini kui kunagi varem. Kogu 1,6 miljardit eurot, mis on laskemoona ostmiseks eraldatud, on juba pandud hangetesse ja lepingutesse.

The head of the National Defence Investment Centre (RKIK) Magnus-Valdemar Saar and Minister of Defence Hanno Pevkur say that criticism of the speed of ammunition procurement is unfounded. They say that agreements have been reached faster than ever before. The entire 1.6 billion euros allocated for the purchase of ammunition has already been committed to tenders and contracts.

Nädalavahetusel kritiseerisid kaitseminister Pevkurit kaitsehangete aeglustumise pärast. Endine kaitseministeeriumi kantsler Kusti Salm ja Isamaa esimees Urmas Reinsalu ütlesid, et laskemoona ostmine on aeglane. Pevkur kinnitas aga, et kõik raha on juba hangetesse ja lepingutesse pandud. Ta ütles, et tehakse kõik, et .

Over the weekend, Defence Minister Pevkur was criticized for the slowdown in defense procurements. Former Chancellor of the Ministry of Defence Kusti Salm and Isamaa chairman Urmas Reinsalu said that the purchase of ammunition is slow. However, Pevkur confirmed that all the money has already been committed to tenders and contracts. He said that everything is being done to get the ammunition to Estonia as quickly as possible.

Saar ütles, et kõik võimalikud tegevused moona kiireks hankimiseks on juba tehtud. Ta lisas, et kui hankelepingud lähiküünel allkirjastatakse, on protsess olnud kiirem kui tavaliselt Euroopas. Ta ütles, et kriitika moonasoetuse tempo kohta on põhjendamatu. Ta lisas, et protsess on isegi kiirem kui algselt plaanitud.

Saar said that all possible actions for the rapid acquisition of ammunition have already been taken. He added that when procurement contracts are signed at close range, the process has been faster than usual in Europe. He said that criticism of the pace of ammunition procurement is unfounded. He added that the process is even faster than originally planned.

Laskemoona soetamine jaguneb kolme gruppi. Pikamaa kaudtule jaoks ostetakse suurtükimoona, õhuründemoona ja raketisuurtükiväe moona 675 miljonit euro eest. Välja on kuulutatud hange varitseva õhuründemoona ostmiseks. Ülejäänud moon ostetakse riikide vaheliste tehingutega. Näiteks USA-ga ostetakse HIMARS-i laskemoona ja Saksamaaga pikamaasuurtükimoona.

The acquisition of ammunition is divided into three groups. For long-range indirect fire, artillery ammunition, air-to-surface missiles, and rocket artillery ammunition are purchased for 675 million euros. A tender has been announced for the purchase of loitering munitions. The remaining ammunition is purchased through intergovernmental agreements. For example, HIMARS ammunition is purchased with the USA and long-range artillery ammunition with Germany.

Lähimaa õhutõrje jaoks jagatakse 625 miljonit eurot. Seda ostetakse koos teiste riikidega. Näiteks Pioruni rakette ostetakse koos Poola, Läti, Leedu ja Norraga. Ka Mistrali ostetakse täiendavalt rakette. Keskmaa õhutõrje jaoks sõlmitakse lepe Saksamaaga IRIS-T süsteemide ostmiseks.

For short-range air defense, 625 million euros are allocated. This is purchased through joint procurement with other countries. For example, Piorun missiles are purchased together with Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Norway. Additional missiles are also purchased for Mistral air defense systems. For medium-range air defense, an agreement is signed with Germany for the purchase of IRIS-T systems.

Pevkur ütles, et ligi miljard eurot kasutatakse ühishangetele. Pool miljardit eurot kasutatakse Eesti ja USA koostöös. Ülejäänu raha kasutatakse õhuründemoonale. Ta rõhutas, et ühishangetel on mitu eelist: hind on parem, moon tuleb kiiremini ja saab kasutada Euroopa finantsinstrumente. Pevkur tutvustab valitsusele i.

Pevkur said that nearly one billion euros will be used for joint procurements. Half a billion euros will be used in cooperation between Estonia and the USA. The rest of the money will be used for air-to-surface munitions. He emphasized that joint procurements have several advantages: the price is better, the munitions arrive faster, and European financial instruments can be used. Pevkur will present the government with an accelerated defense development plan.
