It’s not just the parts though, it’s the expertise. Boeing has maintenance systems and programs that Russia does not have access to. The parts and schedules and materials are not really pirateable. The package needed is a combination of a part, a trained worker to do a job, a set of custom monitors/tools to do the maintenance (all owned and leased out by the US cos), and the custom parts themself. What Russia is doing right now is canabalizing their planes for used parts, which can only get you so far. Oil services is much more complicated and they’re production is going to decrease say 20% yoy for a long time as the oil services firms like schlumberger have withdrawn. I worked at an startup digitizing industrial maintenance SOPs for aerospace, oil services and manufacturing and have dealt with this extensively.
