Rostec top manager detained at US request in Italy: revenge for PD-14
The United States again resorted to the dirty tricks of competition. Alexander Korshunov, business development director of the United Engine Corporation, which is part of Rostec, was arrested in Italy.
Korshunov worked for a long time at a company that developed the Russian PD-14 engine for the MS-21 airliners. Without a doubt, his arrest is a reaction to the success of the Russian airliner at the MAKS-2019 air show and at the WEF-2019.
Korshunov was guarded at the airport of Naples, where he was arrested at the request of the United States. In the near future, a hearing will be held on the extradition of the Russian to the States. US officials accuse Russian top manager of espionage.
Allegedly, Korshunov stole the secrets of General Electric Corporation, which were used in the production of PD-14.
In general, this is the traditional tactics of the States. Firstly, in terms of kidnapping. Secondly, in terms of allegations of theft of technology.
Most recently, top US officials have accused Russia of stealing hypersonic technology weapons, now stealing production technologies aviation engines.
The Americans really did not like the fact that the PD-14 surpasses its competitors in terms of efficiency and service life by 20%. In addition, domestic engineers were able to make the engine “smart”, which made it extremely safe. PD-14 is preparing to bypass competitors, including competitors from Boeing, in the global market. Therefore, the arrest of Korshunov is Washington’s revenge of Russia for a technological breakthrough in the aircraft engine industry.
