Russia will cease to provide NATO aircraft An-124 "Ruslan"
The Russian cargo airline "Volga-Dnepr" to the end of the year will cease to provide NATO cargo planes An-124, informs French magazine Challenges citing its sources.
the story is the SALIS project (Strategic Airlift international Solution), in which in 2006 a joint venture was created by Ukrainian "Antonov Airlines" and the Russian " Volga-Dnepr ". Only large oversized cargo of the Commonwealth was carrying 17 " Ruslanov ".
according to the publication, the Russian side has taken this decision in response to the strengthening of the U.S. sanctions. The publication stresses that the decision of the organization "Volga-Dnepr" will be a severe blow to the French army, because it remains dependent on freighters in the transportation of helicopters and tanks, despite the presence of the Airbus A400M.
