VLADIVOSTOK, Russia - Russian security officials said Tuesday they had detained several military officers and others in connection with an attempt to smuggle military hardware and documents into China.
A statement from the Federal Security Service office in Vladivostok, the major port city of Russia's Far East, said the arrests were made June 17, the same day border guards seized classified airplane parts and documents aboard a train en route to China.
The statement gave no further details.
There are two major military aircraft plants in the Russian Far East. One, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, produces Sukhoi-27 fighter jets, and the other, in Arseniyev, produces Russia's latest combat helicopter, the Kamov-50.
Russian security officials have said that a court had recently convicted a Russian man for collecting secret information about the Komsomolsk-on-Amur plant for an unspecified "Asian-Pacific" country.
The reporter had no common sense. Komsomolsk (which means commuinist youth city and was built by tens of thousands of Russian communist youth league memebers in early 1920's) is a famous city in Ular region, not in Far East.
