Dir Eurasia Center Atlantic Council, Expert on fighting fake news IGOR PASTERNAK From Ukrain's new AK-M16 mashup rifle: UOP = Ukraine’s central state arms company, UkrOboronProm In a New Year’s statement on Jan. 3, 2018, announced it had delivered the initial batch of WAC-47s to unspecified units by way of American firm Aeroscraft. But for Ukraine, the WAC-47’s potential multi-caliber nature is inherently political, as well. UOP makes it clear that the new guns are as much about modernizing their military as they are about cutting away the last links to the old Soviet Union and post-Soviet R ussia. Underscoring these statements is UOP’s partnership with Aeroscraft, a division of Worldwide Aeros Corporation. The firm’s main business is lighter-than-air craft, such as blimps and tethered aerostats. Igor Pasternak, who grew up in Soviet Kazakhstan, first founded Aeros Limited in Soviet Ukraine in 1986, becoming one of the Soviet Union’s first private engineering firms to appear under Premier Mikhail Gorbachev’s Perestroika reforms, according to his company's website. http://aeroscraft.com/history/4575665539 Pasternak subsequently immigrated to the United States in 1993 and has steadily become an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his policies, especially with regards to Ukraine.
