Information about this facility was allegedly being passed to the Russian by two already detained Lithuanians, with a former military pilot among them.

SOURCE: KREMLIN.RU 9 February 2018 CHEMEZOV’S PRE-ELECTION OFFENSIVE After the upcoming presidential elections in Russia and the reelection of Vladimir Putin, one may expect big personal changes among highest-ranking officials. Key players of the Russian ruling elite have already been fighting for influence, new positions and sources of income. Judging by the form of the campaign, the main winner will probably be Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec State Corporation. His people seem to play important roles in the campaign; in addition, last year, Chemezov appeared to be very effective in all kinds of political games. www.warsawinstitute.org 4 ostec chief executive, who served together a number of successes (we have discussed this Rwith Putin in the KGB in Dresden, is issue in Russia Monitor).

Eventually, the situation shares whereas another 12% belongs to Vitaliy ended up with their detention. In October Machitski, a friend of Chemezov. However, 2017, with the use of the FSB, Chemezov it is current head of Putin’s administration, forced the resignation of the Deputy Interior Anton Vaino, who is actually in charge of Minister Alexander Makhonov. It was all his election campaign (according to some about corruption allegations against his unofficial information). Due to the model subordinate officials who had been in conflict adopted, that is the one of a “non-partisan with Chemezov. candidate” (or even “people’s” one, as some tend to say), Putin’s campaign headquarters CEO of Rostec Corporation has been should not be composed of high-ranking responsible for appointing many officials.

THE MASSACRE IN THE DEIR AL-ZOR PROVINCE The massacre of the Russian mercenaries by the American air forces and artillery in the Deir al-Zor province is a sign for Kremlin that the USA will not allow for crossing certain “red lines” in Syria. It is a part of a struggle for a post-war order in the country, not only when it comes to a political division, but also to an access to rich oil and gas resources. For Vladimir Putin it is a punch which has already considerably disturbed his election campaign. As a result, a Russian reaction, which can be forceful, should be expected not necessarily in Syria, but for instance in Donbass. n February 7, American aircrafts and were not present in this area was of course Oartillery bombed pro-Assad forces in true.

  • Rostec Will Create a Single Corporate Aircraft Manufacturing Center in Moscow
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news ROSTEC WILL CREATE A SINGLE CORPORATE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING CENTER IN MOSCOW News / Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 Rostec State Corporation will unite UAC, Sukhoi and MiG companies into a single corporate aircraft manufacturing center, which will consolidate the management of aircraft programs and other UAC assets. The engineering and design functions of the group will be separated into a separate center, which will be located in Moscow - it will include all aviation design bureaus. Such decisions were announced by the General Director of the State Corporation Rostec Sergey Chemezov at a meeting with the management of the United Aircraft Corporation and its leading engineering centers, where the tasks of the development of the aircraft industry for the coming years were discussed. The objectives of the transformations being carried out are to increase the economic sustainability of the UAC Group, optimize the administrative and managerial staff, and reduce non-production costs and debt burden. To control the ongoing transformations, the head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, intends to personally head the UAC Board of Directors. The optimization will not affect the engineering staff. Design schools will remain independent, receive new opportunities for development, as well as improved working conditions in the format of the Unified Engineering and Design Center. The center will be located in Moscow, where the existing test and bench infrastructure of the UAC is concentrated. Moving aviation design bureaus to other regions is not on the agenda.

This work was commissioned by the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), in the context of its project “supporting the Arms Trade Treaty Negotiations through Regional Discussions and Expertise Sharing”. Reprinted with the permission from UNIDIR. The views herein do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the United Nations, UNIDIR, or its sponsors. Introduction RESOURCE The adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) would undoubtedly affect all the leading arms exporters and importers, including Russia, which is the world’s second-biggest arms exporter. This study aims to assess the possible effects of the Arms Trade Treaty, if and when it is adopted, on Russian arms exports. To that end we are going to review the current state of these exports; look at the R distinctive features of the Russian arms export control system; and speak to representatives of the Russian government, leading Russian defense companies, and international relations experts about their expectations from the ATT. 1. Russian arms exports in 2002-2011. Export control system: current state, outlook and transparency. 1.1 Russian arms export control system Arms exports – which fall under the Russian definition of “military and technical cooperation”, along with imports – are very important for the Russian economy.
