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 event. According to preliminary data, the agency's interest was drawn to the actions of the former KAZ management, and the audit concerns the Tu-214 program.
It was planned to allocate 12 billion rubles for the serial production program of the Tu-214, of which 4.3 billion were from the federal budget and 7.7 billion were borrowed funds from Rostec.
Later, 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 project's financing, including because there was a redistribution of funds to the needs of the SJ 100 and MC-21 programs.
Another source did not rule out that the audit at KAZ was part of a larger process, and the prosecutors' interest extends much further in Kazan.
Aviation expert Alexei 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 MC-21 and SJ-100 aircraft have successfully passed certification.
