The USA and Europe are deliberately destroying Motor Sich - ex-minister
Ukraine is losing one high-tech enterprise after another, an example of which is what is happening with Motor Sich.
Viktor Suslov, Minister of Economy of Ukraine in 1997-1998, stated this on the KRT TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Ukrainian production is gradually being strangled. A classic example is Motor Sich, one of the world's largest manufacturers of aircraft engines. The company makes the best engines in the world, but cannot sell them.
They tried several times to sell them in Europe. Europe denies them certification. It is impossible to certify Ukrainian aircraft engines in Europe. Not because they are bad, but because it is a technical barrier.
Motor Sich is gradually being destroyed. They cut off the Russian market, prohibited supplies there under the pretext of “fighting the aggressor,” and the “aggressor” has already created the same production at home. It was easy for him - he has the same specialists, all the technical documentation. They carried out import substitution and no longer need engines.
And Europe put up a technical barrier. Entering other markets... Brazil tried to build a joint plant with Motor Sich, but as soon as this issue began to be discussed, the United States said that Brazil would have severe problems, because this is the US engine market. Brazil was forced to refuse.
The story continues - they found contacts with China and are selling the enterprise to China. But we remember the recent scandals, the US demands that Ukraine does not have the right to sell to China.
Of course, Motor Sich will be strangled with the participation of the Europeans and the United States in the same way as the Ukrainian shipbuilding industry, one of the most powerful in the world, and the production of passenger aircraft and cargo planes have already been liquidated.
Antonov was the world leader in cargo aircraft. And now he hasn’t produced planes for five years,” the ex-minister summed up.
