Ten days before the signing of the agreement in Lithuania, the leaders of the Slovak company in Moscow crossed hands with the Russian state company Russian Helicopters. The latter belongs to the famous Russian company for the manufacture and repair of military equipment Rostec. He’s on the United States sanctions list.

“They cannot use third parties to perform the contract without our consent,” said S. Dzekunskas.
According to him, the contract provides that 92 percent. the repair of helicopters will be borne by the company itself, and 8 percent. – subcontractor in Azerbaijan.
“It is important to us that helicopters are not taken to third countries,” he said. If the Slovaks requested it, the Ministry of National Defense would not grant such permission.
