During December 2010 Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych issued two presidential decrees to establish a state entity to be responsible for state enterprises involved in 'the development, manufacture, sale, repair, modernization and disposal of weapons, and special equipment and ammunition involved in the military-technical cooperation with foreign countries'.(4) Also in December the cabinet of ministers issued a resolution on the creation of Ukroboronprom. The resolution outlines the tasks to be carried out to create the state entity and the list of initial enterprises to be folded into its domain, which includes Ukrspetsexport and other Ukrainian state arms exporters.(5) On 4 January 2011 President Yanukovych appointed Dmitri Salamatin to the position of general director of Ukroboronprom—six months after he had been appointed head of Ukrspetsexport.(6) The new state entity appears to be modelled on Russia's Rostekhnologii.
