A new audit has begun at the Kazan Aviation Plant named after Gorbunov (KAZ, part of Tupolev PJSC of Rostec). Employees of the General Prosecutor's Office of Russia have raided the company's workshops.
To increase the level of assessment, prosecutors involved experts in the activities. According to preliminary data, the agency's interest was drawn to the actions of the former management of KAZ, and the inspection concerns the Tu-214 program.
It was planned to allocate 12 billion rubles for the Tu-214 serial production program, of which 4.3 billion were from the federal budget and 7.7 billion were borrowed funds from Rostec.
Then they wanted to add 41.8 billion rubles from the National Welfare Fund and 42 billion through Rostec in the form of bond loans.
It is unknown whether this money was allocated, but, as an approximate source, there is an existing mess with the financing of the project, including because there was a redistribution of finances to the needs of the SJ 100 and MS-21 programs.
Another source did not rule out that the inspection at KAZ became part of a larger process, and the interest of prosecutors extends much further in Kazan.
Aviation expert Alexey Zakharov warned that if KAZ continues to produce the Tu-214 in single copies, then the cost of each aircraft will be prohibitively high.
The Kazan Aviation Plant is building Tu-214 passenger aircraft; Rostec promised to reach a rate of up to 20 aircraft per year by 2028. The company is also working on a modernized Tu-160M strategic missile carrier with four new NK-32-02 engines.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russian tires for the chassis of MS-21 and SJ-100 aircraft have successfully passed certification.
