VIS-298050: What's Interesting About This Lada Vesta-Based Patrol Car
"Patrol car (type 1) VIS-298050" is the name given to Lada Vestas converted for road service in traffic police documents. Nineteen such sedans, each costing just over 1.2 million rubles, recently arrived in Mordovia.
More precisely, each Vesta (VIS-298050) delivered to our republic cost 1,243,230 rubles. A single contract worth 360,536,700 rubles for the delivery of 290 vehicles, in addition to Mordovia, also included Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Mari El, Udmurtia, Chuvashia, Perm Krai, and the Kirov, Nizhny Novgorod, Penza, and Orenburg regions. In total, I found seven tenders on the State Procurement website from the Special Purpose Center for Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, which is the customer for the purchase of equipment for the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. The tenders are for 1,735 VIS-298050 vehicles, with a deadline of October 31. Their total value is a hefty 2 billion, 247 million, 944,690 rubles.
