Russia's deputy defence minister faces bribery charges

A top Russian defence official known for his lavish holidays to St Tropez appeared in court on Wednesday after being arrested on corruption charges.
Timur Ivanov, 49, is the deputy and long-time ally of Sergei Shoigu, the Russian defence minister, and oversaw major military construction projects for over a decade, including lucrative contacts to rebuild Mariupol, the Ukrainian city destroyed by the Russian army.
Despite never having served in the Russian army, a bespectacled Mr Ivanov appeared at the court in Moscow in full military uniform.

Damn they even got him caged up with full uniform

[@Dark_Bandon]

He didn't give Putin his 60% cut of the loot and now he's being purged as a warning to the other Russki bumski generals PAY UP or get LOCKED UP.

[@richardmarsden5610.]

Just like General Surovilin. He's another PU$$Y who didn't have the BALLZ reset himself.

[@larsrons7937]

Wearing a uniform and he never even served in the military.

[@Dark_Bandon]

@@larsrons7937 Typical Putin. Surround himself with YES MEN that own him everything. Dress them up in a fancy uniform. Give them enough power to do his bidding but not enough for them to work for themselves. From time to time purge one of them as an example to others that obedience to the Czar is everything. He did the same with Surovikin. Hitler did the same with his generals.

Yeah, it's Dog Eat Dog. At first it's an attack on Shoigu without attacking him directly, instead they attacked his "wallet". But it's more than that. The in-fighting has begun in the top of the rotten system. Be sure to stock up on popcorn.

Well they did get him.. and that’s the point. He didn’t get away with it. Corruption is rooted out, not hidden, and same in China where the penalty can be fatal.

Trust me bro.

[@Dark_Bandon]

At least US generals have military experience. That Russki bumski tin soldier had ZERO military experience. He used to be an office cleaner and Kremlin tea boy.

[@richardmarsden5610.]

Just like General Surovikin. He's another PU$$Y who didn't have the BALLZ reset himself. I bet Putin is the same.

[@Thecopedealer]

Yea we call political bribery “lobbying” here in America😂

[@teresas8173]

That’s true, but when caught, there are consequences, sometimes. We have a free press and free speech which uncovers some of it. Certainly not all of it. When we do know we can vote them out, ( although our electorate is not the brightest and will vote the corrupt politicians in again and again) , in Russia that’s never possible. Russian citizens are too scared to point at the corruption. If they do, they are often imprisoned or killed. We also have ethics committees and other practices in place to prevent some of it. But most times politicians aren’t held to account unless it’s blatant. But ya, it’s the same thing.

[@Thecopedealer]

Robotic transport platform PGU-15 of Russia kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5qupGugdtucepo In recent months, the Russian manufacturer of road equipment, the DST-Ural company, has been constantly showing new equipment intended for the army. Another of his new developments is the remote-controlled heavy tracked universal platform PGU-15. The platform is capable of transporting cargo weighing up to 15 tons on and off-road. It has been suggested that weapons can also be placed, but the manufacturer does not report this or technical details. The PGU-15 platform has fastenings for cargo and containers. Lamp of Knowledge

The Russian Ministry of Defense showed robotic equipment kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYC1YmRjqbWAp9E Promising examples of military robotic equipment were shown in Russia. It is worth noting that this is not homemade military equipment, but factory products. New samples of military equipment were shown at the Patriot convention and exhibition center and were inspected by the Russian Minister of Defense. In total, more than 30 promising models of weapons, military, special equipment and military-technical equipment from 18 Russian industrial enterprises were presented. Reportedly, by the end of next month the first 30 prototypes will be manufactured for delivery to the troops. Models of military equipment are not reported. Multi-purpose robotic vehicles on wheeled and tracked chassis were shown. Equipment for transporting supplies, evacuating the wounded and using it as a platform for mounting various work equipment and weapons, a line of robotic multifunctional platforms. The head of the Russian military department noted that the presented promising ground-based medical robotic complex is in great demand and should be delivered to the troops as soon as possible.
