The Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation has suppressed the smuggling of spare parts for Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters worth over 400 million rubles. These components would be enough to repair at least four such machines. This was reported by the Public Relations Center (TsOS) of the FSB.
In order to implement the criminal intent, members of the group, on behalf of representatives of foreign organizations, through a number of controlled commercial structures, acquired from manufacturing enterprises and operating companies, stored and illegally moved new components for Russian-made Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters across the State border.
In connection with this incident, the investigative department of the FSB of Russia for the Orenburg region has initiated a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Part 3 of Article 30 and Part 1.1 of Article 226.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. These articles relate to the smuggling of military equipment, materials and technologies that can be used in the creation of weapons or military equipment.
Earlier www1.ru reported that 100 engines for the Mi-8 require urgent replacement.
