  • Rostec Identified Potential Partners in Localization of Ka-226T in India
    Rostec identified potential partners in localization of Ka-226T in India Bangalore / 20 February 2019 Russian Helicopters Holding Company (a part of State Corporation Rostec) and a number of Indian companies signed Memorandums of Understanding at Aero India 2019. The parties agreed to explore the producing a number of assemblies and components for Ka-226T helicopter in India. The MOUs were signed with the following companies Elcom, Valdel Advanced Technologies, Dynamatic Technologies, Integrated Helicopter Services and Bharat Forge, covering assemblies such as fuselage, blades, radiostation and landing gear. “We have launched a new stage of Ka-226T project: identifying the chain of manufacturers among the Indian companies. I am positive that the agreements reached today will result in a long-term mutually beneficial cooperation at a later stage when the production of Ka-226T is transferred to the customer’s territory”, noted Andrey Boginskiy, Director General of Russian Helicopters Holding Company following the signing. "The program of localization of production of Ka-226T helicopter in India is a key project within the scope of the "Make in India" program. The contract provides for the delivery of 60 Ka-226T assembled in Russia and the production of 140 units in the territory of the partner country. That said, the project opens up ample opportunities: I am sure that the rotorcraft assembled in India will be in high demand in this country as well as in the third markets. In particular, we intend to take part in a bid for the delivery of 111 Naval Utility Helicopters for the Indian Navy. The selection of Ka-226T will allow India to reduce expenditures for transportation, maintenance, personnel training due to the localization of production in its own territory", highlights Victor Kladov, Director for international cooperation and regional policy at State Corporation Rostec.

  • Client Update U.S. Issues Guidance on Sanctions Relating to Russia's
    Client Update 1 October 30, 2017 Client Update U.S. Issues Guidance on Sanctions Relating to Russia’s Defense and Intelligence Sectors On Friday, October 27, the U.S. Department of State issued public guidance on the implementation of Section 231 of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). Section 231 of CAATSA requires the U.S. President to impose potential sanctions against individuals or entities that knowingly engage in “significant transactions” with persons that are a part of, or operating for or on behalf of, Russia’s defense or intelligence sectors. An overview of CAATSA is provided in our Client Update of July 28, 2017. The new guidance is accompanied by a list of entities considered to be operating in Russia’s defense or intelligence sectors. The guidance indicates, however, that not all large transactions with the listed entities will be considered “significant.” Rather, the State Department will focus largely on defense-related or intelligence-related transactions. Section 231 of CAATSA authorizes sanctions for conduct engaged on or after August 2, 2017, with any sanctions imposed becoming effective on or after January 29, 2018. The State Department also has stated that it intends, when possible, to “work with” persons contemplating transactions with the listed persons to help avoid sanctionable transactions. DEFENSE AND INTELLIGENCE SECTORS Over thirty entities, listed in the appendix to this update, are identified in the guidance as persons that are part of, or operating for or on behalf of, Russia’s defense or intelligence sectors. As the State Department’s guidance makes clear, the entities named in the guidance are not subject to U.S.

Russian direct and indirect investment in the Baltic Sea region Some recommendations for policy-makers By Alexey V. Kuznetsov Prof. Dr. (Econ.) Alexey V. Kuznetsov is a deputy director of the Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia), professor of MGIMO-University (Russia), corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the editor-in-chief of the ”Outlines of Global Transformations” peer-reviewed open-access journal from the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) database. The author of several books and more than 250 articles on FDI, Russian foreign economic relations, European and Eurasian integration and some other issues in the field of world economy. E-mail: [email protected] Summary The article analyses dynamics of Russian outward foreign direct investment (OFDI), especially in nine countries of the Baltic Sea region. Special attention is paid to the current period of the Russian investment expansion which began in 2014. After the drop in oil prices, coup d’etat in Ukraine and the start of ”sanctions wars” with Western countries Russian OFDI is seriously influenced by economic stagnation in Russia, several geopolitical factors and changing strategies of gradually maturing Russian MNEs. Examples of many Russian MNEs in the Baltic Sea region show different attitude to Russian investors in various countries of this region. Infrastructure sector has become the most politically sensitive field of Russian OFDI.

Any form of use that goes beyond what is permitted by Swedish copyright law, requires the written permission of FOI. 2 (53) FOI-R--5124--SE Sammanfattning Rysslands militära FoU-infrastruktur består av tre typer av organisationer med rötter i Sovjettiden – forskningsinstitut, konstruktionsbyråer och vetenskapliga produktionsassociationer. Forskningsinstituten sysslar i huvudsak med att utveckla forskningsidéer för militär tillämpning. Konstruktionsbyråerna utvecklar och testar prototyper. Vetenskapliga produktionsassociationer kombinerar FoU- verksamhet med egen tillverkningskapacitet. Sammantaget består försvars- industrins FoU-komponent av nästan 600 organisationer. Av dessa är cirka 300 forskningsinstitut, knappt 130 konstruktionsbyråer och ungefär 170 vetenskapliga produktionsassociationer. Geografiskt är FoU-organisationerna koncentrerade till större städer. I och omkring Moskva finns nästan hälften av alla FoU-institut, medan St. Petersburg har en femtedel av instituten. Den militära FoU-strukturen kan indelas i sju huvud- sakliga branscher: flyg, rymdteknologi, skeppsbyggnad, konventionella vapen, radioelektronik och kommunikationssystem, ammunition och speciella kemikalier samt kärnteknik.
