Ukraine prompts fresh U.S. look at use of Russian rocket engines reuters.com WASHINGTON Thu Mar 13, 2014 6:50pm EDT (Reuters) - The Pentagon is going to take a fresh look at U.S. reliance on Russian-built engines to power American rockets that launch large U.S. government satellites into orbit, in light of the Ukraine crisis, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told Congress on Thursday. U.S. dependence on Russian engines has long been a concern of U.S. lawmakers, but those worries were heightened by mounting tensions between Washington and Moscow over Russia's seizure of Crimea, an autonomous region in Ukraine. ***** The RD 180 rocket engines, which have been built exclusively by Russia's NPO Energomash since 2002, are used by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing to power the venture's Atlas V rockets.

The business is coordinated by Ruslan International, which is a joint venture between Antonov Airlines of Ulraine and Volga-Dnepr Airlines of Russia... Below is a Volga-Dnepr AN-124 at Moffett Federal Airfield, loading California Air National Guard (ANG) helicopters for transport to Afghanistan in 2007. From Wikipedia...
