10 поляков в Афганистане отказались выходить на патрулирование
Добрый день!
В сообщении говорится, что они указывали на недостаточную защищенность своих бронемашин. Какие БТР используют поляки в Афганистане? Какие-нибудь БТР-70 или финские?
Poland recalling about 10 soldiers from Afghanistan for shunning patrols¤
WARSAW, Poland (AP) _ Poland is repatriating about 10 soldiers from Afghanistan after they refused to take part in patrols, citing fears about the strength of their armored vehicles, an official said Thursday.
The group of officers and privates is to be brought home "as soon as possible," Defense Ministry spokesman Jaroslaw Rybak said.
The soldiers had asked their commanders not to send them on patrol outside their bases, saying the vehicles being used were not robust enough for the mission, Rybak said.
He did not say if they would face disciplinary action upon return, but Polish military police spokesman Col. Edward Jaroszuk told Poland's PAP news agency that military police had opened an investigation and were questioning witnesses in Afghanistan.
Poland has about 1,200 troops in NATO-led forces in Afghanistan. The Polish contingent started its mission in central and southern Afghanistan earlier this month.
