The Security Service of Ukraine has declared the identification and termination of the activities of the attackers who tried to illegally sell the Russian organizations to the MiG-29 fighters. According to the SBU, equipment worth more than UAH 10 million included starter generators and aircraft pumps.
According to preliminary data of the investigation, the perpetrator of this crime is a criminal from the Dnieper, who in 2019 stole the appropriate equipment from the manufacturer. After theft, he handed over this military product to a familiar entrepreneur for further storage and sale.
"It is established that the merchant was hiding airlines on the territory of his own maintenance station for a long time, and later posted the appropriate announcement on the specialized site," the SBU officially said.
It is noted that advertising aroused the interest of representatives of the Russian military-industrial complex, who sought similar spare parts for their military aircraft.
During the searches at the Medical Service Station, 10 aircraft pumps, 2 starter generators and 1 thousand additional spare parts were removed. Up to 12 years of prison threatens this crime.
