Oleksandr Los, the president of legendary Kyiv-based aircraft manufacturer Antonov Company, resigned on Nov. 4 after just five months in office.
Later in the day, his resignation was accepted by Ihor Fomenko, the acting head of UkrOboronProm, the state-run defense production concern to which Antonov belongs. The discharge order states that Los left the post at his own volition.
