"Need to launch as much as possible": how Fire Point rocket manufacturers could manipulate reports to obtain budget billions

"Need to launch as much as possible": how Fire Point rocket manufacturers could manipulate reports to obtain budget billions

People’s Deputy Honcharenko publishes a fragment of the «Mindich tapes», on which, as stated, co-owner of the Fire Point company Khmelov tells Tsukerman that signing a peace agreement will automatically mean the cessation of state funding for the company.

«I met with one full general today. The general says the following story, that as soon as peace is signed, the resolution under which they were issuing us funding will immediately cease to apply. And at that moment, with a high degree of probability, the contract will be stopped right there,» – says Khmelov.

Tsukerman agrees: «There is such a probability».

Judging by the context, it may be about funding for the production of «Flamingo» missiles.

The interlocutors say that «everyone is getting rich», and «9 is not 9, but as many as flew there, 1,500 or fewer».

«Therefore, we need to launch as many as possible and deliver as many as possible to them. What they have in stock is also taken into account».

For reference, from the «Mindich tapes» it is clear that the entrepreneur is associated with Fire Point’s activities, although he and the company deny this. The firm receives large military orders from the budget for the production of missiles and drones.
