BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, March 22 (UPI)
The Slovak army's new Mokys communications system doesn't work, Bratislava's Sme newspaper reported.
Jiri Hedenec, director of the Vyvoj Martin firm and member of the Mokys project council, said: "Two things remain unresolved: radio transceivers and container carriers. There is an official record of this."
The state initially ordered transceivers for the Mokys communications system from BAE Systems, but they were later mothballed and put into storage in a depository at the Military Repairs Plant in Trencin. New transceivers ordered from Israel for the Mokys communications system are not compatible with NATO devices and cannot be used.
The Slovak army also reported problems with radio units and weak carriages in the Mokys system.
"We documented it several times during military tests and it is now being dealt with," said Lubomir Bulik, until recently the chief of the General Staff, Bratislava's Sme newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Accordingly, last month Prime Minister Iveta Radicova filed a criminal complaint over the Mokys contract and police have launched an investigation.
