With names like the Ivano-Frankivsk Boiler and Welding Plant, the Transcarpathian Helicopter Production Association and the Lviv Research Radio Engineering Institute, these defunct Soviet-era companies might end up being sold for their real estate. By shedding these companies, Ukroboronprom now controls 97 companies.
