In the United States, fined RTX conglomerate for revealing the Russian Federation and China's secrets about military aircraft

The US defense corporation will pay $ 200 million. Interestingly, RTX voluntarily reported violations that, she said, were related to the incorrect classification of military goods. The US regulatory authorities have fined the RTX defense corporation by $ 200 million after secret information about advanced American fighters F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II and strategic bombers B-2 Spirit hit Russia, China and Iran.

These origins have caused serious fears about the safety and preservation of US defense data secret data, Bloomberg reports. The violation was recorded when RTX staff traveled to different countries, including China, Russia and Iran, which contributed to unauthorized exports of defense products and improper classification of secret information.

The US State Department emphasizes that the violation concerned unauthorized exports of defense products due to improper jurisdiction and classification, as well as unauthorized transportation of secret defense products by employees of the company to limited access. "RTX voluntarily reported all the expected violations. The company also fully cooperated with the Department during the audit and since then made significant improvements," the department said.

In addition to a major fine, RTX is obliged to conclude a three -year consent agreement with the US government, which provides for at least one external audit of the company's program in compliance with the requirements of international trade rules for weapons (ITAR). Although the leakage is not disclosed to the general public, it is known that the information concerned the key technical characteristics and innovations that are the basis of the US strategic advantage.

Commenting on the event, the Bulgarian Military Viewers write that the F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II and B-2 Spirit are the vertex of military aviation technologies, and the secret nature of their technical data is critical for maintaining the operational advantage of the US Armed Forces. Therefore, the leakage of such information can seriously undermine the national security and strategic advantage of the country.
