The available documents and evidence indicate that the Kazakh company Arc Group in cooperation with the Russian troops helps to serve Su-30cm aircraft with French aviation equipment Thales and Safran. About it writes InformNapalm. As of 2024, the Russian Federation has up to 130 units of modernized fighters of 4 ++ generation Su-30cm. During a full -scale war, at least 15 such sides were lost. According to the authors of the publication, there would be more losses.

This is due to the fact that the Su-30cm aircraft uses foreign production, mostly French companies Thales and Sagem/Safran.

Multifunctional displays SMD55S and SMD66S (Thales manufacturer), TCAN-NC12 (Thales) radios, indicators on the background of the HUD 3022 (Thales), Navigation Glass, Navigation System (Thales), indicators of the Tacan-NC12 (Thales), indicators of the Tacan-NC12 (Thales), indicators on the background Without such systems, the pilot will, in fact, be blind, and the Russian plane - a bunch of iron in the air. The screenshot mentioned the replacement of the French HUD 3022 by Russian IKSH-1ka.

Kazakhstan Company Analyst Research Consulting Group was founded in 2014 by Aladanazar Saginbek (Sakinbek Aldanazar Darhan), January 3, 1998. From the age of 16, he was the founder of the consulting enterprise, which in its statute also stated "the purchase and sale of ammunition (weapons and military equipment, spare parts, accessories and devices thereto), special materials, equipment for their production, which include their production.

Installation, adjustment, modernization, installation, use, storage, repair and maintenance. " The company's website states that today the company is an exclusive distributor of Safran Electronics & Defense in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The main customers are state and law enforcement agencies. The documents collected by journalists also indicate that Arc Group serves as a gasket for Russian customers.

In October 2021, the Arc Group concluded the first contract with a narrow -profile company with the Russian Federation "Repair, maintenance, supply of aviation with special components". The screenshot of the contract page that has been obtained: the subject of the contract stipulates that the Kazakhstan side with certified French specialists and equipment should repair French equipment on Russian Su-30 aircraft.

The contract contains a list of military products for importation to Kazakhstan for 2021-these are the same devices for navigation and orientation of pilot SMD55S, SMD66S, TLS2020, TAC-NC12, HUD 3022, SIGMA 95NAA. The list also indicates the purpose of such - "temporary importation for major repairs with further reverse export in the interests of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. " However, this treaty has never been signed by the Russian side.

Instead, they have made a new agreement in which a direct mention of French companies disappeared, instead, they indicate a simple definition of "Aviation Property Repair". The authors of the publication suggest that Russia was preparing to intensify sanctions long before the full -scale invasion. Ways to bypass the sanctions were prepared and a Kazakh firm was found, which was to certify with the manufacturer of French equipment.

Among other things, these contracts could be signed in retroactive number. In favor of the second variant, the letter of the director of "Rosaviaspetskmple" testifies to the head of the Kazakhstan company of August 26, 2022. In it, the representative of the Russian side Petro Gritsenko reports that the planned number of products to be repaired for 2022 is 13 units for an estimated amount of 1 450,000 euros, and already in 2023 it is planned to send 88 units for 6 420 000 euros.

"It is strange that the parties concluded a contract in November 2021, and within 9 months the Russian side did not yet know the exact number of products to be repaired. Most likely, relationships between companies began to be filled with practical content in the summer of 2022, when Thales left the Russian market", " - journalists say. During 2022, 2023 and 2024, the number of units to be repaired has been repeatedly changed, and in the direction of increase. In the additional agreement No.

3 under a contract signed by the parties in October 2022, they decided to specify how the price of the contract was formed. Having received funding from the Russians, the Kazakh consulting company sends its specialists to study. The head of the ARC Group informs Petro Gritsenko in his letter of 09 December 2022.

"From January 16 to January 20, 2023, within the framework of the contract of our company with the French company Thales, it is planned to train our specialists in the service of various Avionic systems," - said in a letter referred to by the authors of the investigation. The same letter defines the first time intervals of arrival at Russian enterprises of Kazakh specialists - February 2023. That is, immediately after training.

The archives of Russian databases contain data on the personalities and positions of Kazakh specialists. The Russians asked not to change the composition of the group to reduce the term of agreement of the list of persons, since the aircraft repair plant in Irkutsk is a regime object.

The full range of services on the part of the French side for maintenance of multifunctional displays SMD555S/SMD66S and HUD3022 collimator indicators in the interests of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan as the end user of the SO-30CM aircraft. The contract is calculated for 34 months from the receipt of the advance payment by the supplier. The contract also contains the visualization of equipment that French experts have to install and put into operation at the Kazakh Plant.

The Republic of Kazakhstan has 23 aircraft Su-30cm, another 36 units were ordered. But the sign that this agreement is concluded in the interests of the Russians is the commercial proposal of the Kazakh side for the Russians, which repeats the terms of the contract between Thales and JSC "Aelabial Plant No. 405". On June 26, 2024, the Arc Group sent the Russians for consideration and registration of a commercial offer totaling 13 826 199. 26 euros.
