"The Defense Procurement Agency dot for the first time contracted bugs for the Defense Forces — more than 2 thousand units," the report says.
According to Deputy Minister of Defense Mstyslav Banik, "the savings as a result of the tender amounted to about UAH 1.5 billion. Thus, thanks to tender procedures, we use resources more efficiently, directing the savings to other needs of our troops. "
According to him, these are all-wheel drive vehicles (4x4 can be turned on and off), with off-road tires.
Bagi is a lightweight mobile off-road vehicle. It is fast and maneuverable, so it allows units to move where heavy equipment gets stuck or becomes too noticeable, the Ministry of Defense explained.
"Our task is to provide the army with the necessary equipment and at the same time effectively use budget funds. To do this, it is important to develop competition between suppliers, create conditions for the participation of various manufacturers and receive the most favorable offers based on the results of bidding, "said Artem Romaniukov, director of AOZ.
As Ukrinform reported, the Defense Procurement Agency began purchasing tactical missiles and aircraft for the Defense Forces in 2026.
According to the agency, suppliers must transfer almost all the contracted vehicles by December 2026.
