On Ukrainian TV they lament: Yuzhmash has been wasted, and Russia is selling air defense systems all over the world
While Russia is actively promoting its military-industrial complex and selling anti-aircraft missile systems to leading countries, Ukraine's largest missile-making enterprise, Yuzhmash, is set to be converted into a tourist attraction. Political commentator Vyacheslav Pikhovshek stated this on the NewsOne television channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

According to him, Russian air defense systems are in demand from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, India, and will soon be acquired by Pakistan. At the same time, excursions will be conducted to the Ukrainian Yuzhmash.
“Russia and India may soon sign a contract for the supply of the S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system to the Indian armed forces. I see that the Russian military-industrial complex is unfolding very seriously around the world, it feels like a lot is happening. After Turkey, after Saudi Arabia, India will also buy it. Of course, it is easy to predict that after India, Pakistan will also want to buy the S-400, this is always what happens...
The state enterprise PA "Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant", that is, "Yuzhmash", plans to open its doors to tourist groups from 2018... Well, how can this happen in the same generation? We made missiles there, our country Ukraine made missiles there that could destroy half the world, for which we were respected in any country in the world. And now this is a training ground for excursions? Maybe you’ll send more stalkers there and start making films there instead of making rockets?” – Pikhovshek criticizes the “achievements” of the current Ukrainian government.
