The company of the wife of the “protector” of the amber mafia sells low-quality drones for the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The Ministry of Defense plans to purchase a Hawk drone from the company of the wife of the scandalous deputy Borislav Rosenblat, which crashed during demonstration flights and was created in a few months, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
About it write Our pennies.
Zhanna Rosenblat’s company is called Ukrainian Aviation Systems, the publication clarifies. Its other co-owners are Konstantin Pozhidaev and Roman Didenko from Moldova.
According to Rosenblatt, the company deservedly got into the defense order, since Hawk is “the best in the country” and “passed all the tests of the Ministry of Defense,” and is also known in the Ukrainian drone market.
However, none of the surveyed Ukrainian manufacturers and experts have seen Rosenblatt’s drones; the first tests of the Hawk were unsuccessful, the equipment and design raise many questions, and the price can be increased due to design developments, the publication writes.
Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak could not remember Rosenblatt’s drones by name, manufacturer, or photo.
Rosenblat's Hawk was tested at the State Research and Testing Center of the Armed Forces from May 31 to July 29, 2016. The test report is a state secret.
The journal “Science and Technology of the Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces” published the results of the demonstration flights that the Hawk underwent.
The publication is dated April 2016. Of the nine take-off attempts, only seven were successful; two times the drone fell due to a design feature. It has a significant drawback: the plane of the propeller intersects the line, so during takeoff it can wrap around the propeller. Then the glider falls without taking off.
In addition, the magazine describes demonstration flights of Hawk produced by the Moldovan company Drone-Tech. The Ukrainian Armed Forces could not answer the question whether the Drone-Tech SRL drone and the Hawk drone are the same complex. Rosenblatt answered the same question that these are different things and different modifications.
However, the publication writes, there is reason to believe that Hawk from Drone-Tech SRL is the same Hawk that Rosenblat’s company soon put up for testing. The gliders look identical.
The Moldovan company Drone-Tech, which failed the demonstration flights, is affiliated with the Ukrainian company of Rosenblat’s wife. Drone-Tech is registered to Vitaly Didenko, the father of the aforementioned Roman Didenko.
After testing supposedly “its” drone, Rosenblatt’s company purchased the components from which the Hawk is assembled: imported spare parts crossed the Ukrainian border six months to a year later than the secret tests.
