"Governor" may stole
It is becoming increasingly clear that the non-proliferation regime of rocket technologies is under serious threat. In 1991, Ukraine inherited from the Soviet Union a powerful military-industrial complex, including the production of rocket and space technology. State Enterprise "Design Bureau" Yuzhnoye "them. M.K. Yangel in Dnepropetrovsk - a major developer of intercontinental ballistic missiles. The Voyevoda rocket R-36М2 designed here is still in service with the Russian Strategic Missile Forces. Ukrainian specialists carry out architectural supervision, prolong the resource “Voevody” - the most powerful ballistic missile in the world.Its production has long been discontinued, but the design documentation is still located in Yuzhnoye Design Bureau. Like the documentation for another intercontinental missile - the RT-23 UTTH “Molodets”, intended for the combat railway missile system (BZHRK). Under the START-2 Treaty, the complexes themselves were decommissioned and destroyed.
The entire defense industry of Ukraine is tied to Russian orders. But 29 March and. Director General of the concern "Ukroboronprom" Yuri Tereshchenko announced the termination of the supply of military equipment in the Russian Federation. Again the. Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk told one of the TV channels that it is planned to re-equip the defense industry through cooperation with the West. And only for the time being, they say, “we will have to use other people's samples”
Without Russian orders, Ukrainian defense enterprises are doomed to a speedy bankruptcy. And then there will be foreign buyers, if not already appeared. First of all, it is Israel and China.
Israel overlooked the anti-Semitism of the ultra-right members of the provisional Kiev government and the militants of the Right Sector. Reacting painfully to the manifestations of neo-Nazism in Europe, the Israeli leadership did not pay attention to the beating in Kiev of the head of the Jewish organization Rabbi Cohen and the famous musician Jan Tabachnik, the burning of synagogues and anti-Semitic inscriptions. Apparently, there is a very big interest in Ukraine, in one really existing resource - rocket technologies.
Not seeking to spoil relations with Kiev usurpers and Beijing. The PRC declined to assess the reunification of the Crimea with Russia. She also needs to maintain good relations with Kiev, whoever is in power. And the whole world knows that the Chinese do not spare money for sensitive technologies.
What can the bankruptcy of Ukrainian defense industry enterprises lead to? First, to privatization, to full or partial sale. You can buy a plant or KB with archives. Secondly, the documents can be sold by the employees themselves, first of all the managers. Thirdly, you can sign tempting contracts with leading designers, take them out of the country and restore key documentation. And, fourthly, the Kiev temporary leadership for the sake of a large soft loan from the PRC itself can bring drawings and technologies on a silver platter. In this perspective, Barack Obama is definitely not up to the Crimea. He no longer requires the return of the peninsula to Ukraine. Get, say, Beijing "Satan" and BZHRK, the United States certainly will not be able to count on further world leadership.
