For example, students will be able to practice and work at the Progress Aviation plant, which produces the famous Ka-52 combat helicopters, or at the Askold reinforcement plant, the only enterprise in the Far East with extensive experience in the production and repair of high and low pressure pipeline fittings for the marine, oil and gas, chemical industry, thermal power engineering and housing and communal services", – Sergey Dubovitsky emphasized.
