So, the first Motor Sich partner is Ivchenko-Progress

here's what I see:

-------------

Ivchenko-Progress ZMKB  Zaporizhzhia Machine-Building Design Bureau "Progress" State Enterprise named after Academician O.H.Ivchenko), formerly OKB-478 and Ivchenko Lotarev, is a state design bureau that creates drafts and plans for aircraft engines in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine whose products are widely used in both civil and military aircraft, most notably by Antonov, Beriev, Ilyushin, Tupolev, Mil and Yakovlev. The design bureau works closely with Motor Sich, the turbine manufacturer located in Zaporizhzhia which produces those engines.

Polish manufacturer PZL-Mielec used the Progress ZMKB AI-25TL engine in the PZL M15 cropduster. Both the largest plane in the world, the Antonov An-225 Mriya and the largest helicopter, the Mil Mi-26, are powered by Progress/Lotarev engines.

[b]The bureau is administered by the Ukrainian Defense Industry and the Ministry of Industrial Policy.[/b]

Beriev, Ilyushin, Tupolev, Mil and Yakovlev are ALL Russian companies

Original Message I was doing some reading on the Chinese military, and found out they apparently buy / bought large numbers of engines for their jets and ships, from a manufacturer in the Ukraine ( Circa 2010-2014 )

So, I googled a bit and found an article from last year, March 18, 2021, titled

" Ukraine blocks Chinese takeover of jet engine maker on US urging "

Motor Sich holds key military technology for Beijing, now Kyiv's top trade partner

-- Ukraine will halt the takeover of an aircraft engine maker by a Chinese company, responding to U.S. objections over the prospect of important military technology falling into Beijing's hands

----------

Might want to Google this article as well as the company Motor Sich, it's rather interesting in light of the situation in the Ukraine, and China's stance thus far.....
