Slovakia Sold Military Air Defense Equipment for Scrap Metal Prices Worth Millions
Share:
Slovakia's state authorities sold KUB missile air defense systems to a private company for scrap metal prices, despite the equipment potentially being worth millions of euros. Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák was unable to prove that the sale of the air defense equipment to the private firm Robus was carried out based on decisions made by his predecessors. The controversy highlights concerns over the disposal of valuable military assets at significantly below-market prices, raising questions about proper oversight and valuation procedures for state-owned defense equipment.
