One particular project concerns the Sukhoi Su-25 refurbishment program for which 10 of the 18 aircraft fleet are to undergo a major inspection and refurbishment . A contract for $32 million was signed with Rosoboronexport on 23rd December 2014. Of the total contract sum $15.5 million was assigned for repair of major assemblies and accessories, $8.2 million for new braking parachutes, spare parts and technical manuals and $8.3 million for the overhaul of 20 Tumanski R-95SH engines. This equates to $3.2 million per aircraft and will cover six Su-25 and four Su-25UB.

The first aircraft to complete the program, Su-25 070 (which took six months), returned to service in August 2018 and a total of three have now been delivered (Su-25UBs 085 in March 2019 and 083 following in August 2019). For the third aircraft, 083, the program length had reduced to four months.  The fourth aircraft, Su-25 071 is currently being worked on and is scheduled for delivery in December 2019. The next aircraft will be 075, 077, 078, 079, 080 & 087, the latter two being Su-25UBs. Currently only one aircraft is being worked on at a time.

A technical agreement was signed in 2016 with Russian Helicopters Helicentro to undertake first phase repair and maintenance on the Mil Mi-8, Mi-17 and Mi-171 initially and in the medium term the Mil Mi 171ShP, Mi-25 and Mi-35P.
