The Ural Civil Aviation Plant (UZGA) is moving projects to localize composite materials from Ulyanovsk to Kazan. The subsidiary has been renamed "BAS-SP".

The reason for the transfer was bureaucratic delays in the Ulyanovsk region, a shortage of personnel, and competition with local aviation enterprises. In Tatarstan, UZGA is counting on the support of the authorities and industrial infrastructure.

The main task of "BAS-SP" is to create components for strike and reconnaissance UAVs, such as the Forpost. Experts call the decision logical: composites are critical for modern unmanned aviation, and the relocation will strengthen synergy between the holding's projects. Results are expected in 2-3 years.

The appointment of a new CEO - Ramil Akhmadeev, who previously oversaw the development of the heavy Altair UAV - confirms the holding's focus on the production of drones from composites.
