Russia seized China-bound combat jet spare parts

ULAN-UDE, July 8 (Itar-Tass) -- The Russian customs in Transbaikalia
seized a batch of equipment which a Chinese national tried to smuggle out
into China in his car.
The batch included two plunger pumps which are used in MiG-29 and
Su-27 combat jets, the customs said on Friday.
"Military-designation products can be taken in and out of the country
upon licenses issued by the Russian Service for military-technical
cooperation," it said adding a criminal case was instituted on charges of
contraband.
Customs spokeswoman Yulia Filippova recalled another batch of Su-27
devices was seized at the same checkpoint in 2009 from a Chinese national
who claimed he was carrying water pumps for an acquaintance.
