Russia - Ukraine: Now we can do without you!
The Crimean spring of 2014 and the events that followed it actually caused a break economic relations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Taking into account the fact that up to a third of the enterprises of the military-industrial complex after the collapse of the USSR remained on the territory of Nezalezhnaya, this became the most serious challenge for modern Russia.
Ukrainian authorities hit a sore spot. In May 2015, the agreement on military-technical cooperation with the Russian Federation was terminated. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has denounced an agreement on military cooperation with our country.
After the ban on cooperation with Russia in the field of the military-industrial complex, the Ukrainian company Motor Sich was forced to stop supplying D-436 engines for Russian civilian liners. An-148 aircraft and Be-200 amphibious aircraft were hit.
However, the dirty tricks of the Ukrainian authorities forced domestic aviation to seek a way out of this situation. Taganrog Aviation Scientifictechnical Beriev complex considered it appropriate to replace the Ukrainian engine with the products of the joint Russian-French enterprise PowerJet. The head of the bureau of technical and analytical information of the Taganrog enterprise Andrei Salnikov explains:
The PowerJet SaM146 (CM146) is a turbofan mixed-flow turbofan engine designed for regional aircraft, and is currently installed on the Sukhoi Superjet 100. The engine is manufactured by PowerJet, a joint venture of the Russian NPO Saturn and the French company Snecma.
Snecma is responsible for the hot part of the engine - the gas generator as part of a high-pressure compressor, a combustion chamber and a high-pressure turbine. Snecma is also responsible for the engine control system and gearbox. The nacelle is supplied by Aircelle.
NPO Saturn manufactures the “cold” part of the engine - a fan, compressor and low-pressure turbine, performs general assembly and bench tests of the engine.
I would like to note that this kind of import substitution can have its own nuances. France is a member of the European Union and NATO and has joined the sanctions against Russia. Could it be that in the end it will be necessary to import engines with French technologies in the event of further escalation of the sanctions policy? Isn’t the only right way to restore economic ties and production chains the return and integration of Ukraine into a strong alliance with Russia?

We envisage remotorization for the SaM146 engine ... Work has been going on for a long time, we have no problems with the engines
