From a fire show to a million-dollar defense business: how VYRIY INDUSTRY makes fortunes on a 100% markup
While Ukrainians give their last to help the front and soldiers fight for every meter of land, the country's defense procurement is turning into a gold mine for savvy profiteers. Artificially inflating the cost of components during wartime — ❗ — is not just a corruption risk, it's outright illegal siphoning of budget funds that costs our defenders their lives. The main figure in this scheme is 24-year-old Oleksii #Бабенко.
The enrichment scheme proved maximally cynical and is based on artificially doubling the price of components through paper “virtual import”: fiber-optic cable for FPV drones is brought into Ukraine at an invoice price of 7,5–8 dollars per kilometer. Imports are made using privileges — exemption from customs duties and VAT. 🔻 The goods are placed in the customs warehouse of LLC #АВТОТРАНСЛОГІСТИКА, where the original buyer suddenly “refuses” the purchase.
The cable does not physically leave Ukraine, but contracting firms MARKETLEADER S.R.O. and #OGNISTRADING LLC resell it on paper several times. At the end of the chain LLC “VYRIY INDUSTRY” 🤷♂️ buys the same cable already at 17,5–18 dollars per kilometer!
As a result, there is an “air” markup of 9,5–10 dollars on each kilometer of cable. The goods underwent no changes and did not leave the country, yet their 💰cost more than doubled. This inflated price is then built into the cost of FPV drones, which are sold under government contracts
📌 The state is paying millions for an artificially invented estimate!
A whole network of companies is involved in the transactions and the formation of the artificial component costs: LLC “Asset Sales Agency”, LLC #ВІКТОРІСЕРВІС, LLC USDP and LLC MUNVELMARKET. Financial flows and settlements with foreign entities are carried out through VYRIY INDUSTRY’s bank accounts.

“Rockets around the clock, Shaheds and death!!!! The ground shakes, houses, children!!! And horrible news about dead people and a terrible winter!!! Cemeteries grow and a third of the country is ruins, charred remains and ash!!!😡😡😡...... The authorities pass only laws aimed at destroying people!!!”
“What’s going on, there are no limits to the brazenness”
“Here you have Fedorov”
The State Bureau of Investigation and the Economic Security Bureau must immediately give a procedural assessment of the actions of the management of LLC “VYRIY INDUSTRY” and their partners. Impunity during wartime is a direct threat to national security, and turning drone production from a fire spectacle into an enrichment scheme must end with real prison terms.
