Шесть ремонтирующихся в Белоруссии российских Су-30К могут списатьМосква. 19 августа. INTERFAX.RU - В следующем году Россия начнет выполнение оружейного контракта с Анголой на поставку 12 из 18 истребителей Су-30К, находящихся на территории 558-го авиаремонтного завода в белорусских Барановичах, а оставшиеся шесть самолетов могут пойти под списание, сообщает во вторник "Коммерсант"."Спецэкспортеру российских вооружений "Рособоронэкспорту" пока не удалось найти заказчиков, желающих приобрести находящиеся в Барановичах Су-30К", - рассказал изданию источник, близкий к российской системе военно-технического сотрудничества.По его словам, если в ближайшее время ни одна из стран не захочет купить оставшиеся шесть истребителей, то они будут утилизированы, а пригодные к использованию узлы и агрегаты пойдут на запчасти."Было бы логично, если бы все самолеты этого типа достались Анголе, история с Су-30К была бы закрыта. Но ангольцы тогда выходили бы за пределы выданного нами кредита, а жертвовать иными типами вооружений ради шести самолетов они не захотели", - отметил собеседник газеты.
