War Department is considering the possibility to recover 2.95 billion rubles spent on its design

The Russian Defense Ministry ruled out military transport aircraft of the Russian-Ukrainian An-70 development of the state armaments program , according to “Izvestia».

The joint development work (R & D) of Russia and Ukraine on the project began in 2010. At the same time, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, Russia has paid 2.95 billion rubles for carrying out these activities.

The Russian Defense Ministry had until 2020 to buy 60 aircraft of this type. However, the Ukrainian side has frozen together OCD. Kiev “Antonov” independently finalized and testing aircraft, and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine takes it into service this year.

Now the Defense Ministry is considering filing a lawsuit to recover 2.95 billion rubles, which were transferred to the GP “Antonov” for the design of the AN-70.

Kiev stopped military-technical cooperation with Russia, but the money has already been paid, so it is reasonable from the Defense Ministry to demand their return.
