We'll see what?


Money influx ever doing good at creating highly specialized high-tech industries in a country that doesn't need them, supported by a block that doesn't need an aircraft industry there? That's unicorns and ponies, and that's before things like corruption or even the very question of who'll be paying.


Ukrainian choice in 2014 was among others specifically about its path - and it's precisely engineers of those industries who had the highest degree of wrong views. Because the only country interested in Ukrainian airspace industry was exactly Russia - and by now it doesn't anymore. Not that current Antonov is capable of anything useful.


The very first thing most happy cheerleaders here will do if Antonov ever becomes a thing again is whine about them being a commercial threat and a potential source of know-how for China.
