"Motor Sich", so do not get you to anybody

«Motor Sich», so do not get you to anybody

Not so long ago it seemed, that complicated history of Ukrainian companies to build aircraft engines "Motor Sich", It turned into a real commercial detective international scope, nearing completion. The dots on "i" were arranged, the fate of the plant is solved. However, the crisis, broke out in the world, looks like, It will make its tough adjustments and complete more than a century the Zaporozhye plant is not a happy ending.

The titles are not only Ukrainian and Russian, but also the leading Western media company "Motor Sich" got into last year, when it became aware of the sale of more than 50% stake in the company to Chinese companies, включая Skyrizon Aircraft Holdings Limited. However, Beijing still 2017 year announced its intention to open in Chongqing plant for the production of aircraft engines, and it is in cooperation with the Zaporozhye enterprise. If you believe the Chinese comrades, the appropriate arrangements have been made in 2015 year.

This date is not accidental: after what happened in 2014 in the Ukraine coup and the subsequent rupture of economic and trade relations with Russia "Motor Sich" was not just in distress, and in a catastrophic situation. According to available information, losing the Russian market, engine builders were actually out of work. In the first half 2019 , net loss amounted to enterprises 425,7 million hryvnia, while revenues fell by more than a third - to 1,9 billion hryvnia. According owned more 80% its shares entrepreneur Vyacheslav Boguslayev, the only option was to close the plant or to transform it into "metal warehouse" for him. Then arrived the Chinese ...

there is, however, suspicion as to, save that dying in production away from them Zaporozhye generous comrades from China was not originally intended. More interest, than the worn-out equipment and have not modernize plant in Zaporozhye, to them is the technical documentation of the state of the design bureau "Ivchenko-Progress", which is part of the concern "Ukroboronprom" and specializes in the design, manufacturing, certification and statement on serial production of gas turbine aircraft engines and other. Already 15 s operating agreement, in which these developers transferred (and free) on 60 s "Motor Sich" all design and operational documentation on a number of engines for airplanes and helicopters.

It is because of this moment the impending deal has caused such a strong negative reaction from the United States, that "reduce a brain" zabyvshey, who its owner, Ukraine began the most senior US policy. In August of last year in Kiev personally rushed John Bolton, who was then adviser to Donald Trump on national security. At the beginning of the current year for the loyalty arrived yet and the head of the State Department Mike Pompeo. Company sale was actually suspended the decision of the Antimonopoly Committee, in the offices of the company began searches, shares was imposed judicial arrest, Boguslavsky and began accusing almost a diversion.

Taking over responsibility for the gap is so profitable for Ukraine contract the United States began looking for an alternative buyer, and, fearing a new trick, exclusively from among its own citizens. Anyway, it is so declared, the US charge d'affaires in Ukraine William Taylor. The future owners Other Factories, in particular, company Frontier Services Group, controlled by Erik Prince, founder of the American PMC Blackwater (now Academi). Sam Prince, as far as, at the end of October last year, even I visited Zaporozhye and visited the company. For later, buyer "Motor Sich" was to be the American Oriole Capital Group. Information seems to be quite reliable, as the managing partner of the company Hossein Mousavi, It has long been known and strong interest in the Ukrainian aviation industry, not only confirmed its, but clarified, He is working on a future purchase in close contact with representatives of the State Department and the US Embassy in Ukraine.

What Lies ahead: collapse or survival in spite of?

Nevertheless, All these intentions voiced before, both the United States struck a severe blow coronavirus, causing serious damage to the economy, if you believe the reports of the Americans themselves. In such a situation, it seems doubtful, Americans will rush to invest millions in Ukrainian companies, instead prefer to save their own. However, and the Chinese factory, they certainly will not give, acting on the principle described classic: "It does not get you to anybody!" Anyway, Latest News on "Motor Sich" is the message that, that the company hit the wall, and even some "brick structure". To eliminate the consequences of emergency had to attract rescuers. Looks like, the word "collapse" is beginning to take direct meaning for the enterprise.
