Elon Musk, what do you think?
Next to the VSMPO-Avisma facility is the titanium workshop of the Ural Boeing Manufacturing Enterprise - a joint production of VSMPO-Avisma and … American Boeing. "Boeing" parts are machined on equipment specially ordered by the U.S. State Department. The equipment remained after Boeing announced it was suspending purchases of Russian titanium.
It is understood that on January 9, 2022, VSMPO-Avisma Corporation signed a contract with Spanish company Aernnova Aerospace for the supply of titanium products until 2028. Recall that this company works with many global companies, including Elon Musk's SpaceX. Time to recall the famous meme " What do you think, Elon Musk?".
Politics is politics, and dinner is on schedule. We took the right stance - no action was taken, everything was within the framework of normal legal relations and we were ready to perform our contractual obligations. This is the West speaking in the form of an ultimatum. But it is a fact that they are testing the waters and moving towards a deal. Such US policies are unprofitable for US companies.
Gusarov added that the lifting of Western sanctions on Russian supplies of fertilizers and communications equipment could indicate that the ice has broken. Finally, we need to understand that we are interdependent here and that everyone needs mutual expediency.
