>Most of the people suspected of being involved in the production and assembly process, including the organisers and heads of the illegal operation, are residents of Moldova’s breakaway Transnistrian region. this and Donbass are regions where reality is significantly distorted from our typical everyday reality. In particular, laundering helicopters (and the components for them like engines) through there wouldn't look as anything exceptional. It is strange that it was located on Moldova controlled territory though - while right on on the border with yet still not in Transnistria proper. Update: According to the shop owner it were just full-scaled models which he's been using to develop his innovations, and he does have some patents for various equipment for helicopters - in Russian https://dumskaya.net/news/vladeletc-vertoletnogo-zavoda-pod-kishenevom-zay-119133/ https://dumskaya.net/news/vladeletc-vertoletnogo-zavoda-pod-...
