The scandalous Russian criminal authority Tamaz Somhishvili, who is suing the KMDA, demanding $100 million for the incomplete reconstruction of Kharkiv Square, may be involved in a scheme with the shadow supply of damaged Russian aircraft through African countries to an aircraft factory in Tbilisi for repair and modernization.

This was stated by political observer and journalist Dmytro Tuzov in a blog on Ukrainian Pravda, referring to the investigation of his Georgian colleagues.

“Tamaz Somkhishvili is trying to sue in the capital of Ukraine for 100 million dollars due to the termination of the contract for the reconstruction of Kharkiv Square. Previously, Somkhishvili worked as the general director of the Russian oil company Luikoil, in Rosneftexport and was a shareholder of Tomsk Oil.” Ukrainian and Georgian journalists in their investigations draw attention to two people who are related to the Georgian aircraft repair industry. Tamaz and Giorgii Somkhishvili. Giorgii Somkhishvili is a member of the supervisory board of the state-owned enterprise Tbilisi Aviation Plant,” says the author of the blog.

According to the journalist, this plant has contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense to repair military aircraft used in the war in Ukraine.

“One of the first directors of the Tbilisi Aircraft Plant, and now the head of the private company TAM-Management, engaged in the repair and restoration of aircraft, Pantiko Tordia confirmed Tamaz Somhishvili’s investment in this business in the amount of 7 million, which allowed the company TAM-Management, 50% of which belongs Tomaz-management, 50% of which belongs to Somhishvili, to work in this market,” the political observer states the facts.

Georgian journalists also learned about a possible scheme for the delivery of aircraft from African countries to the aircraft factory in Tbilisi.

“Pantiko Tordia made public the interesting information that the equipment is brought to the Georgian aircraft repair plant in containers from Djibouti. Where in Djibouti are the stocks of aircraft equipment and where are the repaired machines sent after updating and repair? After all, the Air Force of this African country, located between Eritrea, Ethiopia and S. has … several aircraft, including a light single-engine Cessna, and several helicopters, suggesting that the “Djibouti containers” may hold Soviet and Russian aircraft from other African countries and be a kind of hub for their transshipment to other countries. repair and restoration,” Dmytro Tuzov believes.

The journalist also explains why the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia is conducting a tour of African countries.

“By the way, haven’t you thought about what explains the increased interest of the Russians in the African continent recently, when the EU and the USA imposed strict sanctions against Russia in connection with the invasion of Ukraine? Weapons – this is what interests the Russian emissaries, in particular the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov’s affairs in his trips to African countries. Since the reserves of the Russian army in the war in Ukraine are decreasing every day, the Putin regime is convulsively looking for any reserves outside its country,” Dmytro Tuzov summarizes.
