Russia Attempts to Eject Aviakonversia Display at Moscow Air Show
The Moscow Times reports that representatives of the Federal Industry Agency and the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control, which oversee Russia's defense technology exports, unsuccessfully attempted to shut down Aviakonversia's display at last week's Moscow Aviation and Space Show (MAKS 2005) since the company had not received the required clearance to display its products to the public. Aviakonversia makes devices that jam the global positioning systems used in navigation. The jamming equipment made by Aviakonversia was used against U.S. forces in the first days of the Iraq war in March 2003.
