        The brazen Americans have an interesting logic: they can transfer any weapons to any country, even deploy their nuclear weapons in other countries, but Russia is prohibited from doing so.
        Perhaps, in response to their sanctions, we should deploy our nuclear weapons in Iran, Mongolia and Cuba?

          Capitalists need to be dealt a blow! That's the only way to hurt them! We need to completely and utterly abandon the dollar! And not in mutual settlements, but in pricing!!! The price of any goods, services, or contracts is initially fixed in dollars, even if the transaction is settled in another currency.

        You're mistaken. The sanctions are against VSMPO, which is prohibited from purchasing equipment and technology from the US, but the US can buy their products. And as far as I know, they still only buy nose landing gear from us, because no one else in the world can produce such high-quality products.

          You're wrong,

          Boeing currently does not purchase titanium from Russia. The company suspended such purchases in 2022. This decision was made amid geopolitical changes, when Boeing also closed its technical departments in Moscow and Kyiv and ceased technical support for Russian airlines. The company's press service explained that they had built up titanium reserves and a network of alternative suppliers (from the US, Japan, China, and Kazakhstan), so production continued. Prior to this, Boeing had long been a major buyer: for example, in 2021, it signed a strategic partnership memorandum with VSMPO-Avisma (the world's largest titanium producer), and Russian titanium was used for various models—the 737, 777, 787, and others.
          At the same time, discussions of possible reverse cooperation have periodically surfaced publicly. For example, in February 2025, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov stated that Russia was prepared to consider resuming purchases if Boeing expressed interest. However, at that time, there was no official indication from the company itself.
          So, as of August 2026, the situation remains the same: Boeing will not make any direct purchases of titanium from Russia.

              They purchase finished products, in particular the nose landing gear strut.

              Joint ventures are involved in the production of some landing gear components for a number of Boeing models. One well-known joint venture is Ural Boeing Manufacturing (UBM) in Russia (Verkhnyaya Salda, Sverdlovsk Oblast). It was established by Boeing and the Russian company VSMPO-Avisma. The company performs the initial machining of titanium forgings, which are then sent to Boeing factories for final assembly.

              In 2022, the company suspended operations after Boeing excluded VSMPO-Avisma from its list of approved suppliers.
              UBM was a joint venture between Boeing and VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation and was engaged in rough machining of titanium forgings.


              In 2022, the situation changed dramatically. Boeing removed VSMPO-AVISMA from its list of approved suppliers. At the same time, the plant's operations were subject to restrictions related to export licenses (from the US and Japanese governments), making it impossible to fully utilize its key machine tools. As a result, UBM suspended production operations.
              At the same time, the company formally retains its status as “operating” according to the registers, but it currently has no active production program.

                The Russian aviation industry has seriously taken up the production of American Boeing aircraft. According to the US Customs Service, in 2024 Exports of Russian parts for American aircraft increased by 1,6 times.

                Russian-made landing gear proved to be the most popular for American aircraft. This is not surprising. These landing gear components are made from a unique titanium-nickel alloy, the formula of which is known only to metallurgists in Norilsk.

                    The United States has purchased the largest amount of Russian aircraft parts in three years.
                    Imports of aircraft components from Russia to the United States increased by one-third in November, nearly reaching a three-year high, according to a RIA Novosti analysis of U.S. customs data. According to the U.S., the volume of purchases totaled $7,6 million, the highest since February 2022. Compared to November 2024, imports increased 1,6-fold.

                    In the first 11 months of last year, Russian component deliveries to the United States amounted to $31,4 million, which exceeds the figure for the same period in 2023 ($30,6 million).

                    The most in-demand items among the Americans were chassis and their parts, which accounted for $6,97 million, as well as other components of aircraft, helicopters, and drones, the volume of deliveries of which amounted to $586,1 thousand.

                    In November 2024, the key suppliers of aircraft parts for the US were Great Britain ($281 million), France ($195 million) and Canada ($146 million).
