Rosoboronexport is set to become the controlling stakeholder in Russia’s VSMPO-Avisma. Vladislav Tetyukin, the VSMPO-Avisma Director, says he's selling a 26 percent stake in the company to Rosoboronexport.

The arms trader already has a stake in the company – and Tetyukin's shares would increase it to nearly 70%.
