Analysis of the technical state of explosives that is kept on bases and arsenals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine demonstrates, that he does not answer the queries of war-time. The long-term chronic lack of budgetary facilities became reason of it for utilization of old and development of new types of explosives. In many of them already made off or the term of the use closes in the nearest years, that can result in unforeseeable consequences.
Live ammunition after their making on the enterprises of industry and realization of different tests is mortgaged on storage on storages, bases and arsenals. A warranty expiration (ГСХ) during that safety of their technical descriptions and battle properties is provided date is thus appointed. In the process of storage control of the quality state and regulation works come true, including the repair of live ammunition, related to moving away of corrosion from the metallic details of corps, by replacement of greasing, and also repair of the wooden corking of and other.
Experience of storage of live ammunition shows that their sensitiveness to external influences rises in course of time, that it is related to the change of properties of explosives (ВВ) that is equip live ammunition. In spite of лакокрасочные coverages of surfaces of corps contiguous with the charge of ВВ, in time there can be co-operating of ВВ with material of corps of live ammunition and education more sensible as compared to initial ВВ of connections, that promotes the danger of further storage of live ammunition. After completion of warranty expiration date live ammunition is subject to writing. Written-off live ammunition is translated in other depositories: it is forbidden to keep them together with in good condition live ammunition, an expiration of that date did not elapse.
Written-off live ammunition require more careful control at further storage. The terms of proof-testing grow short, the labour intensiveness of regulation works rises, more skilled specialists are needed, therefore expenses increase on storage of written-off live ammunition. Thus further expiration dates become indefinite. If, for example, a written-off technique can be kept long enough and a practical damage from it is small, because a value presents mainly a scrap-metal and expenses on his storage small, then live ammunition can not be left without a reliable guard, organized fire-prevention service, checking of the quality state of live ammunition system etc. Maximal reduction of expiration of written-off live ammunition dates by their utilization can substantially decrease expenses and bring down storages.
Thus, all the stated higher the negative aspects of maintenance of written-off live ammunition testify that simple elimination of written-off live ammunition is inadvisable, and in large scales - impermissible. Therefore in our country basic direction of decline of supplies of out-of-date live ammunition is their utilization and, mainly of the battle parts especially equipped by the large masses of ВВ.
