“Transfers were blocked”: Argentina terminated the contract for the repair of the Mi-171 helicopter

The Argentine Air Force officially terminated the contract with the Russian company Technopromexport, which provided for the maintenance and repair of the Mi-171E helicopter with tail number N-94. This agreement was concluded in 2021 and was intended to restore flight capabilities, in particular to Antarctica.

The Air Force was unable to transfer the available funds, and Technopromexport was unable to carry out the agreed work

- says the Zona Militar website.



The work must be carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation. In this regard, the helicopter was disassembled, its components and assemblies were subject to inspection by Russian specialists. The contract provided for the payment of 4,1 million euros, of which 2,4 million were for repair services, 0,4 million for supplied goods and 1,3 million as a commission to Russian specialists.

The National Bank of Argentina makes transfers only in dollars, so these funds were blocked, and the invoices issued by Technopromexport were unpaid. Following the cancellation of the deal, it is expected that the seized $5,37 million will be transferred to the account of Argentina's aviation attaché in the United States. As planned, these funds will be used to pay “certain obligations” to the United States.

        There are simply no economists in the leadership of the Russian Federation, otherwise payments in Chinese yuan would have long been developed and agreed upon with partners. These are trifles against the background of how much of our oil money is stuck in India in falling rupees.

                  If GDP is not to blame for anything, then who is to blame? Our boss at work tells us that for 2 serious mistakes he will kick us out of work with a kick in the ass. And here, for years, mistakes have been made on a national scale, but no one is driven out of work. Irreplaceable, apparently. For 140 million people there are no others.

          The Chinese are just waiting for this to happen... this is a joke... transfers in yuan will only weaken the Chinese economy, so if this were not so, then long ago all terrorist organizations would have switched from the dollar and euro to some yuan and rubles, but this is impossible. Imagine that 10 countries decided to switch to the yuan. The yuan exchange rate would rise sharply, which would harm not these 10 countries, but the common people, they would be on the verge of death due to too low incomes because there are only 10 countries and not 200 that have goods sold in dollars and euros. Actually, that’s what economists think, but the cattle think, let’s change it to yuan and we’ll live

            As it turns out, China has internal (CNY) and external (CNH) yuan. As an example, the Soviet transferable ruble (I do not claim that the Chinese “external” yuan is a complete analogue of the Soviet transferable ruble, although this is not excluded, I simply gave an example of how there can be different currencies with the same name in one country). So do not consider the Chinese so stupid as to make their security directly dependent on currency stock speculation.

          ramzay21 (Vasily), So you yourself gave the answer to how India agrees to buy our oil only for its own rupees and in no case for “enemy” yuan. But we have no one else to sell so much oil to, even at the discount we give to India, and we don’t want to buy goods from them with these rupees. We believe that there is nothing to buy there for such amounts. And we know well how India can bargain from the arms trade, when they are ready to “freeze their ears off to spite themselves.” India is ready to pay us in dollars or euros, but not in cash, which is unacceptable for us, and they consider this our problem. So what should our stupid economists do? No matter how exactly the same situation arises with China, when we will not be able to spend yuan on what we need from China itself and on the world market. After all, many private companies in China adhere to Western sanctions when trading with Russia, and those that take risks raise their prices. Well... tell Mishustin how to manage the economy.

            There seems to be order here: the money has not been received - the work has not been completed.

            "chairs in the morning, money in the evening, chairs in the evening, money in the morning, BUT MONEY FIRST!"
            Traktoris (Nikolai), and you know that this is what happens most often! They give us money in advance, but we are not able to fulfill our contractual obligations. Remember the service of Superjets in Armenia or Mexico. And they were not interested in our graters with French engines; the contract was with us, not with the French. The same applies to the maintenance of any of our aviation equipment abroad and helicopters in particular. Everywhere there are complaints about delays in repairs in violation of their obligations. That is why India began to abandon our planes and even helicopters, supposedly the best in the world. Got tired of waiting...

          The Argentine bank makes payments in dollars. The article says. The USA did not allow them to do the translation. What does our country have to do with rubles, oil and patriots? No money, no service. We are not charities. No one will do anything at a loss to themselves. You can only take away stolen money in the Seychelles or Caymans. Or freeze state assets in countries outside our control. But now our country doesn’t invest its savings there

        Everyone in BRICS considers Argentina a “Trojan horse” from the West. The state was never able to gain any kind of independence, nor find niches for itself other than agricultural products. One of the candidates seriously planned to subordinate the country to the Fed and introduce dollar circulation, dispersing the local Central Bank. According to his calculations, a country of 45 million will have enough 10 billion dollars for settlements (?).

      If the entire BRICS works in this way, then it will be a pity for the time and money spent on its creation, advertising and PR - actions around it.... In the current international situation, it seems to me that we need to show a certain restraint and caution in relation to Argentina and, especially , with its membership in BRICS... The United States will not let it (Argentina) out of its suffocating embrace so easily...

        Restraint and understanding lead to the fact that in the West they come to the conclusion: there is no need to spend money on anal cream. And not only in the West - Algeria’s demarche showed that they had concluded that it was better with Mali than with BRICS. Until you hit me on the head, the thought doesn’t get through.

      Nothing personal just business. This is one of the cases, of which there are dozens and hundreds, when poorly thought out by economists, insurers, financiers and technicians
      decisions turn into
      financial losses for the country and people, and therefore for you and me.
      I was in the know and often know what the will of a politician and the decree of a politician-official are.
      on our side, contract workers, when a politician pushes his wishes
      to strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation
      between countries, but immediately jumps off if there are negative consequences
      in future.

      Cretins came up with the ruble - hard currency. De facto, the country is a donor of capital for the West. Look at how meager export duties are on everything in Russia. Salaries throughout Russia should be the same as in Moscow. We sell at world prices, but the West takes all the money. Blacks in Niger sell uranium to the West at greatly reduced prices, so that they have nothing left. The approach is slightly different, but the result is the same. Do you know why there is no barter? Because the West has nothing to give us, they can only take! Europe has nothing! America has very little, less than enough to feed 340 million.

        Again, 25, meager duties? Well, here's another example. Firm x sells grain, a buyer comes to it and sees the benefit of buying grain at the price offered by the buyer or agreed upon depending on the volume of delivery circumstances. And then some idiot comes and says, let me pay another fee for the export of something that will go bad in a couple of months. Of course, the buyer will send everything back and the seller will suffer losses and the bastard will threaten the former buyer with nuclear weapons. In general, high-tech goods and services are subject to export duties, which Russia does not have, just rubbish in the form of resources
