@@HOLOD48551 you said this entire conflict is about business as if it's anything different. the war industrial complex is massive and always loves a war, anywhere and throughout history
That's so messed up that someone bought the vehicles & didn't pick them up bc they want to keep them & sell them for a higher price when there's a shortage. Seeing as they are on his property, I would give them a deadline to pick them up & if they didn't, then I'd refund them & sell them to someone else trusted!
I would be charging a daily storage rate of sufficient value to negate the increase of cost vs demand, the money gained could be used to offset the cost on other equipment as it looks like Nick has plenty of space to store equipment so it would be essentially free money for him so he could give back without being out of pocket and also deter people from doing this.
No , Zelenskyy should start using his money instead hiding them , like the rest of rich people in Ukraine not use the money to west stuff just except use our tax money and demands moneys what our stupid government rise money for them

Dealers delaying deliveries to increase their profit are true western capitalists. If they were evil they wouldn't sell them anything and if they were colaborators they would sell to ruskis. Get your facts straight As for names and addresses you'd most likely find out the company which delaying the sales is owned by one of politicians or their families
Giving military aid to a country and people defending themselves is morally justified and one ought to be oblidged to do it. Ukraine is defending itself against Russias unprovoked and genocidal invasion. We need to give them everything they need for victory, as soon as possible.
I don't for sure if what this video is saying is true, but if it is God bless Nick Mead for trying to use his business/position to try and help the people in Ukraine instead of just trying to profit from them. There is not enough people in the world like him who are trying to do the right thing instead of just trying to make as much money as they can.
He literally says in the video he is profiting from war but hey business is business at the end of he day. And I’m gonna bet this is not his first time selling his war equipment to countries that have similar conflicts or to dictators that want to use their toys on civilians 🤷🏾♂️
Never before in any war has the foreign public raised so much money to support a country they likely hardly ever had heard of before than here. It is truly astonishing, and gives one hope for the future. Slava Ukrainii.
Great to see people helping Ukrainians faced with invasion by a genocidal dictator. To answer the unfounded worry of 'proliferating the war', it is the opposite. By not helping and not sending armaments to Ukraine, we would encourage further aggression from Moscow - that would be proliferating.
I have seen some pretty impressive improvisation on civilian vehicles to make them into armoured personnel / evacuee carriers. Expert welders might do a great job over there, if they had some sheet metal to work with.
Ukranians are very ingenuitive. My fav build was a truck that had been armored and on the back they had a 12.7 machine gun with a big gun camera for aiming next to it that was infrared capable and the whole mount was controlled by a wireless Xbox controller and using the dpad to aim the gun. Absolutely brilliant
toyota hilux are the best choice to convert into an light infantry fighting vehicle. Built rugged and easy source spare parts, it performs a perfect job on what it demands for
This is amazing, great to see people go above and beyond to help ukraine. Even those who donated money, none of this couldnt have been done without the collective help of everyone, especially during these hard times, really goes to show the determination of people.
Especially when you realise it was Ukraine who shelled civilians in ethnic Russians arreas, reneged on the Minsk treaty and rallied the Nazi rabbles to ethnic cleansing. Wonder how many gypsies et al Zelensky has cleansed today?
Makes me sick the people selling military vehicles and 4x4’s as silly prices. I need a pick-up truck but refuse to pay 5x prices people are asking for rusty poo boxes. I’m not sure why the MOD doesn’t sell surplus vehicles to Ukraine instead of to companies which buy them for pennies and sell to Ukraine at ridiculous prices.
Ukraine get everything for free there to greedy hiding billions of money just except use the west tax payer money and rise money for there war what there wanted
@@graveperil2169 not really this chap, more the ones that are getting all the old opp herrick surplus. HX60’s could be bought virtually new for £10k from auction but now prices are 3x that. Same with lots of vehicles. The MOD should halt all auction sales.

Of course some Chinese, Syrian....N. Korea, etc "dudes" are selling arms to Russia. Wake up and take a shot of Vodka !!
Good work 💙💛
This entire conflict is about business
what conflicts aren't? stop acting like this is anything new
@@gg-ps1vz did I say this is new?
@@HOLOD48551 you said this entire conflict is about business as if it's anything different. the war industrial complex is massive and always loves a war, anywhere and throughout history
God bless UK! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Heroes!
That's so messed up that someone bought the vehicles & didn't pick them up bc they want to keep them & sell them for a higher price when there's a shortage. Seeing as they are on his property, I would give them a deadline to pick them up & if they didn't, then I'd refund them & sell them to someone else trusted!
I would be charging a daily storage rate of sufficient value to negate the increase of cost vs demand, the money gained could be used to offset the cost on other equipment as it looks like Nick has plenty of space to store equipment so it would be essentially free money for him so he could give back without being out of pocket and also deter people from doing this.
@@slacko1971 exactly!
I wouldn't be going on TV. Russians in the UK...
I understand the armored vehicles are considered obsolete but the government MOD could have bought the vehicles back at a fair price compulsory!

There, fixed it for you
@@theclotshotdidit3115 - Why are you saving ??? Are you poor ???
No , Zelenskyy should start using his money instead hiding them , like the rest of rich people in Ukraine not use the money to west stuff just except use our tax money and demands moneys what our stupid government rise money for them
Thats not how it works. UK Gov has had to purchase armoured vehicles off that has been surplused before (FV432 for conversion to Bulldog for Iraq). It cost them 10 times the amount it was sold for to get it back...
@@theclotshotdidit3115 looking at all of your TH-cam posting history, it’s obvious you are English, but also a fascist. I’d be careful holding your views in that country.

🤐🤐🤐
I browse tanks a lot even though I know I couldn’t buy one because they’re super expensive but I wondered if you could make your own army with tanks online. Now they’re really in service
Nothing wrong with being accused of profiteering. Are you willing to work for free?
A few APCs here and there provide for a heart-warming story but will not do the trick. We need to send them thousands to get this over with.
😂🤣😂

Now we know where all those use $$$$ are going, everyone is taking their cut, just like PPE

Ukraine is the LAND OF LEGENDS
According to leaked documents, Zelensky skimmed over US$400 million of US taxpayer's money meant for oil purchases. A legend indeed
@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko Money well spent to defeat Russia.
@@ChosenOne6666 And that is why US banks are failing and its national debt is over $30 trillions.
@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko lol, funny how leaked doc citates ilya kiva, alcoholic idiot who bought his phd and is literally a meme in Ukraine’s politics
its so easy to feed you with bs lol

Blood & Money 🤝 friends for life
You mean the guys getting wicked rich from the war ri8 ?
Great job!
Dealers delaying deliveries to Ukraine are: 1) evil businessmen 2) Russia collaborators 3) both. Please take note of their names and addresses. Hope in sooner victory. Long Live UKRAINE.
Dealers delaying deliveries to increase their profit are true western capitalists. If they were evil they wouldn't sell them anything and if they were colaborators they would sell to ruskis. Get your facts straight
As for names and addresses you'd most likely find out the company which delaying the sales is owned by one of politicians or their families
Its a bit like selling fuel to a pyromaniac, what do you think he is going to deal with it? morally bankrupt
Giving military aid to a country and people defending themselves is morally justified and one ought to be oblidged to do it.
Ukraine is defending itself against Russias unprovoked and genocidal invasion.
We need to give them everything they need for victory, as soon as possible.
Getting rich and fat from people's blood. Nothing more
Outstanding!
This people doing a great and good things to freedom for Ukraine
Yes great job, I hope too war last long time and we make lot more money
@@AaAa-sw5os yes! you get it.
Now I know what to do with my life
Well armoured as long as they don’t take a hit in that body filler 🤣
Nick, keep up the great work!! Slava 🇺🇦
Great work? Do you realise how many Ukrainians are dying? But the media want you cheering it on! It's not a football match!
thank you! and even if you have money it is a problem to buy equipment... Greetings from Ukraine!
I don't for sure if what this video is saying is true, but if it is God bless Nick Mead for trying to use his business/position to try and help the people in Ukraine instead of just trying to profit from them. There is not enough people in the world like him who are trying to do the right thing instead of just trying to make as much money as they can.
He is profiting from war.
Whatever is the case, Ukraine needs this stuff badly and it's good there are indirect options to get more armour. Money can't outweigh human lives.
He literally says in the video he is profiting from war but hey business is business at the end of he day. And I’m gonna bet this is not his first time selling his war equipment to countries that have similar conflicts or to dictators that want to use their toys on civilians 🤷🏾♂️
AWESOME 🙏🙏🙏
these people such as Tanks-a-lot and Slav are doing very good deeds! Slava Ukraini!
Wonderful news Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
It’s pretty wild how this guy got started.
That's not a destroyed spartan near the end of the vid ..its a russian apc
The 2. one in the background...
And ukraine also use soviet style apc
There's 2 in the video the spartan is in front of the MTLB
That's actually sad getting rid of your own settlement of joy to a nation that will just waste it all.
Never before in any war has the foreign public raised so much money to support a country they likely hardly ever had heard of before than here. It is truly astonishing, and gives one hope for the future. Slava Ukrainii.
Because many British are brainwashed by huge propaganda
There supporting ukraine because there scared of the war spreading across Europe not because they care.
Ukraine is done, eveyone is pulling out.

Am very supportive of your efforts helping Ukraine 🇺🇦 whish i was there.

England-yeee can not have a rifle ..
But a tank yeah pass the tea
godspeed
That spartan never died. It just went missing in action.
Hypocrisy is shocking and disgusting, if a Syrian man was smuggling weapons to Asad they would be labelled a Terrorist but in Europe it's a hero😮
1984 in real life.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Die for Nick. He's winning.
Great to see people helping Ukrainians faced with invasion by a genocidal dictator. To answer the unfounded worry of 'proliferating the war', it is the opposite. By not helping and not sending armaments to Ukraine, we would encourage further aggression from Moscow - that would be proliferating.
You wrote nothing 😂
All surplus equipment in the west should be delivered to Ukraine
I have seen some pretty impressive improvisation on civilian vehicles to make them into armoured personnel / evacuee carriers. Expert welders might do a great job over there, if they had some sheet metal to work with.
Ukranians are very ingenuitive. My fav build was a truck that had been armored and on the back they had a 12.7 machine gun with a big gun camera for aiming next to it that was infrared capable and the whole mount was controlled by a wireless Xbox controller and using the dpad to aim the gun. Absolutely brilliant
toyota hilux are the best choice to convert into an light infantry fighting vehicle. Built rugged and easy source spare parts, it performs a perfect job on what it demands for
Or just call the A-team.
What a great guy.

This is amazing, great to see people go above and beyond to help ukraine. Even those who donated money, none of this couldnt have been done without the collective help of everyone, especially during these hard times, really goes to show the determination of people.
arms dealer : outrageous ! he sells death !
arms dealer related to ukraine : so nice of him ,such a fantastic man 🤗
@@PG-wh5xf the hypocrisy is ridiculous he's literally the merchant of death
@@nigelraporam6917 he sells APCs without weapons on them, they are mainly used for evacuation, it's literally saving lives
Especially when you realise it was Ukraine who shelled civilians in ethnic Russians arreas, reneged on the Minsk treaty and rallied the Nazi rabbles to ethnic cleansing. Wonder how many gypsies et al Zelensky has cleansed today?
God bless you
Ukraine 🇺🇦 more modern weapons and equipment and munitions are on the way to you 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Should stop send everything to Ukraine and demands both countries leader make peace deal not let it carry on more
Crimea is Ukraine🇺🇦
Makes me sick the people selling military vehicles and 4x4’s as silly prices. I need a pick-up truck but refuse to pay 5x prices people are asking for rusty poo boxes. I’m not sure why the MOD doesn’t sell surplus vehicles to Ukraine instead of to companies which buy them for pennies and sell to Ukraine at ridiculous prices.
The vehicles shown here were sold off by the MoD long before the war started
Ukraine get everything for free there to greedy hiding billions of money just except use the west tax payer money and rise money for there war what there wanted
The British government never has its own people in mind!
these were surplus long before the Ukraine war
@@graveperil2169 not really this chap, more the ones that are getting all the old opp herrick surplus. HX60’s could be bought virtually new for £10k from auction but now prices are 3x that. Same with lots of vehicles. The MOD should halt all auction sales.
