Despite encouraging figures, the recent escalation of tensions with Ukraine poses a major threat to Russian rotorcraft production. Ukraine has traditionally supplied turboshaft engines for both Mil and Kamov designs. According to Vyacheslav Boguslaev, president of Zaporozhie-based engine manufacturer Motor Sich, the company produced 1,000 engines for helicopters last year and supplied most of them to Russian manufacturing plants in Kazan, Ulan-Ude, Rostov-on-Don, Kumertau and Arseniev. About a hundred Ukrainian-made jet engines, locally developed D436 and AI222 designs, went to Antonov and Yakovlev aircraft assembled in Russia.
Both India and China operate hundreds of Russian-made helicopters powered by Ukrainian engines. In the past month Ukrainian ambassador Alexander Shevchenko said that more than 1,500 Ukrainian-made engines are operational in India. That number includes TV2- and TV3-series turboshafts in Mi-8/17/35 and Kamov Ka-28/31 helicopters, as well as AI20-series turboprops in Antonov An-32 tactical airlifters.
