Russian jailed 13 years for smuggling aircraft parts to Ukraine
A Moscow court sentenced a 59-year-old Russian citizen to 13 years in prison for attempting to send spare parts for Russian military aircraft to Ukraine.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) stated this in a statement on Friday.
According to the statement, the man acquired aviation bearings used in Mi combat helicopters, and Su and MiG aircraft in Russia and attempted to smuggle them out of the country.
The FSB said the man wanted to deliver the parts to a key enterprise maintaining military aircraft and helicopters for the Ukrainian forces.
The case is the latest in a series of Ukrainian plots against Russia that the FSB recently thwarted, they added.
Earlier, the FSB said it had foiled large-scale Ukrainian drone attacks on the Ukrainka, Shagol and Rostov-Central military airfields.
